What is pilates?

Is it like yoga? I’m a Jehovas Witness so I don’t want anything like yoga(you know the whole relaxation on a higher plane or w/e stuff). Is it just exercise, or does it have that relax, clear your mind stuff too? Mainly what is it all about? Thank you!

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.

Would you buy exercise equipment online or at a brick-and-mortor store?

If you use pilates, yoga or other equipment with a trainer or at a gym would you be more likely to purchase those items online or at a walk in store? Why?

Also, which items?

I began working out w/Pilates and was wondering if it burns fat???

I want to know it I need to do another form of exercise or if Pilates is enough to burn the extra fat on my butt, belly, and thighs???? I want to have a lean, toned body. Please help!!
I am not trying to lose weigh, just exchange fat for muscle.

Ways to tone my body quick!?

Just two months ago, I weighted 148 pounds. By me dieting, I have gone down to a size 135 with just dieting alone no exercise. Now that I have gotten my size to where I want it, I’m still not happy with my body. I need to start incorporating some exercises. The problem is I don’t know what specific exercise I should do to start. Most people are telling me to join a fitness gym, but with my budget I don’t want to do that. My main area that I would like to work is my thigh, mainly my inner thighs. I want to get them nice and firm. I want them to be tight and not all lose and floppy like they are now. Just the other night I saw an infomercial about a product called Zone Pilates. From watching the commercial, it seems like the product that will give me the exact results I am looking for. Has anyone tried Zone Pilates or have any good exercising tips I can use to work my thighs? Another quick question is how well will running daily help me achieve my goal?

I want a tone body by May!!
