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.

Pilates please help?

Does anyone know any pilate routines. Thanks in advance for your help.

Do pilate workouts help you grow taller?

I rather have answers from experts who knows the benefits about about pilates.

Do at home Pilates?

Know any good do-at-home Pilate-type exercises?
Being only 18, I’m just now getting to the point where it’d be a good idea to start a quick daily exercise routine. Pilates has my best interest, but I don’t have any spare money right now to purchase books and DVDs or even one of those over-priced mats. So can anybody type up some quick, do-at-home exercises that stretch you? Or a link that leads to a good routine. Thanks.

No ab-strength, no lower back strength. How can I improve this physical weakness?

I have no “core” strength AT ALL whatsoever. I’ve tried yoga and pilates. The sad thing is the classes are a mixture of all levels, the even sadder thing is I don’t think I can even do BEGINNER yoga/pilate classes! I have no flexibility, I can’t do situps, I can’t reach my toes, I CAN do a minimal amount of crunches. Any advice on how I can increase my “core” strength? I am not overweight nor am I thin. Just average, slightly chubby with a small stomach. I’m 5’2 and I weight 120lbs. Any tips would be great, thanks!
