Probably pilates, it works you harder but yoga will keep your flexibility better… maybe you should do both! But if you only want to do one, I would do pilates and then if you don’t want to loose some flexibilty, stretch at home a little bit.

I have just started and have heard really good things about pilates, one girl said she saw some slight results in 5 days after doing a 10 min pilates routine.

unfotunately a workout is more important to keep changes… your diet is the most important part for making changes. i think that if you are in touch with your body though, you can sence some changes after a few days of doing what you are supposed to when you have not been previously. other people will not notice for closer to two weeks usually… longer if you aren’t eating right. pilates is great though… good luck!

I’d love to lose some weight pretty quickly and tone up my muscles whilst doing it to feel better about myself. I am a little overweight for my height and I am on the pill atm so it would be beneficial for my health to lose some weight.

I’d love to know how to do pilates exercises so if anyone has knowledge of these, I would really appreciate if you gave me some info of what exercises i need to do.

I have done Pilates on and off for two years-unfortunately it is not going to help you lose weight fast. You will lose weight if you eat healthily and do it regularly, but it is a slow,controlled exercise designed more to enhance core strength and stretch muscles. You need to do cardio to lose fat.But here is a good website
