Can Pilate’s tone up stomach muscles?

I have chronic pelvic pain and hence cannot really do any strenous exercise. I need to tone my stomach up though and was wondering if pilates would help do that.
I am 5’3″ and weigh 105lbs, my belly isn’t flat though, so thats all I need to work on.

From where I can learn Ninjutsu ,taekwondo, Kung fu, Karate in Borivali or in mumbai I need it ?

I stay at borivali. I am in 12th std. So I cannot go beyond goregoan. Therefore, Can you please give me add. of any teacher or centre of taekwondo, ninjutsu,Kung fu and karate.

I’m boring! What can I do to make me more interesting / a better person / happier? ?

I’m 25 and have 2 great jobs which I love (65hours per week -don’t tell me to cut down please, I cannot). I didn’t study further than secondary (high) school. I am fairly clever and would like to persue further education later but at the moment am enjoying work (and the money) too much.
I have recently had a failed attempt at a relationship and looking at myself through her eyes, realised that I’m fairly dull. At 21 I was the life and soul of every party, a player and a dealer to boot. Since then i have grown up a bit, abandoned womanising, drugs and most of my old friends. Now I have a very small social circle and few interests.
I’ll cut to the chase. I would love some suggestions based on your experiences of something you have done at similar junctures in life which kickstarted another phase of your life.
Like, taking up Tai Chi
Learning to play guitar
Joining a sporting club
Returning to church (I have done this and have found it enormously fulfilling by the way)

Also open to more eccentric suggestions -and more likely to follow!
Like, buy decks and learn to scratch,
Learn all the lyrics to every Wu-Tang Clan song
Go paragliding.

Yeah, in fairness I am fairly happy, but I just feel a little empty and unfulfilled. Perhaps it is just love I need, or do I need to get my head straight before I can find true love?

Remember I am tied to these jobs for a few more years at least.
Thanks in advance folks, any advice will be considered.

(I’m not going to go paragliding, I’m Irish, It’s always raining here:D )

Pilates?????

If I do pilates will it done me up and build muscle. I am already thin and figured if I cant gain weight (not that im not allowed, just physically cannot) i might as well be toned? I dont want to get any thinner though….just in my stomach because theres a pouch

Recommend a Martial Arts school in Northern NJ?

I’m looking to get back into Martial Arts, but I need a good school. I’m already a Taekwondo blackbelt. I’m trying to avoid TKD, because I cannot stomach sport/olympic TKD. Perferably in or surrounding Jersey City (NYC is out of the question). Muay Thai, Capoeira, BJJ, etc…
Yeah I know about him, he’s on Bergen Ave in my city. I’ve already trained in Escrima and that style is not aerobic enough for me.

Anyone else? I’m looking for a style that will improve my physical condition at the same time.
