I know these questions get asked all the time…but do you think that I would be able to tone up hardcore and lose 5-10lbs in exactly 2 weeks? I’m planning on eating healthy only, with a low amount of calories and doing about 30min of yoga or pilates plus some sort of cardio like running or walking. What do you think my chances are? I’m about 5’6, 141lbs, and i’d like to get down to at least 135lbs and be able to show my stomach. …2 weeks.

I am 5′ 10″ and 170lbs. I need to tone up more than lose weight. However, I would like to get down to 155lbs if possible. Is Windsor Pilates a good choice for me? I need to strengthen my stomach and thighs.

Also, I think the $9.99 offer on TV is a scam because they will charge you every month for new DVDs. If I get Windsor Pilates, I think I’ll get it from E-bay.

I was having dinner with a few family friends, and i was telling them about this fasting ameditation i did for my taekwondo. We have to do this to get a black belt. Anyways, i told them that i drank about 15 bottles of water per day, without having any food inside my stomach for 3 days. 15 bottels turns out to be about 16.9*15=253.5 fl. oz. they told me this is bad, and i didnt really catch the explination. If this is true, why is this bad? I always thought drinking as much of water as possible is good. Everyday i drink only water, occasionaly orange juice and eat alot of fruits/vegetables/healthy/organic stuff. So is drinking alot of water bad with an empty stomach? with a full stomach?

I joined a gym about 6 weeks ago and the weights are starting to tone my muscles but I really want my stomach to be flat again. They have pilate classes there twice a week and I’m thinking of going to them. Does anyone know if they do help flatten your abs?

I have been walking on the treadmill for an hour everyday and have lost about 25lbs and I have plateaued. I have been looking for a great exercise to get rid of my flaby stomach, and my love handles on my hips. I am looking for something that works and is kinda fun. I have been researching the net for something. It seems like pilates might be fun, but does it really work? I know that Patrick Syawze and his wife have been doing pilates for years before it even came popular. Does anyone use pilates with great success? And what do I need to buy to get started?
Wow I check out this Turbo Jam and it seems really fun I’m waiting for my credit card to come in the mail and as soon as I get it I’m going to order it.
