what will pilates do for me?

at the moment im trying to lose some lower belly fat and tone up, so ive been trying to eat healthier and incorporate some cardio (tennis, running, aerobics) in my routine… but i still cant seem to get rid of the stubborn lower belly fat!! any ideas?

i was thinking of starting up pilates (the one on the jeanette jenkins workout dvd) … but i was just wondering if this is going to help me lose the lower belly fat or if its just going to tone up the muscle underneath the fat (like ab crunches…)??

thanks in advance

How do you tone those inner thighs?

I want to lose 20 pounds and tone my body. I’ve started weight watchers and I know I will do it because I’ve done it before, but it’s the toning that gets difficult. I have an ab rocker for my crunches and an exercise bike for my legs and cardio, but what about those inner thighs? They are so hard to tone, I also have a book on pilates, I don’t know if that will help or not. Anyone have any ideas on the best and the quickest way to help tone the inner thighs?
