Question by Drew :]: What is the difference between Yoga and Pilates?
I want to become more flexible and fit! People tell me I should start Yoga if I want that, and people tell me I should start Pilates if I want that… Can you please tell me what the difference is between Yoga and Pilates please? What one would be better for me to take, and would they take a 12 year old? Thanks!

Yoga

Yoga does more stretching and it goes slower. I guess that’s the only difference

Question by nicnic: What is the best form of exercise/martial arts to help gain complete muscle control and toning?
I’m looking for some type of martial art or other type of structured exercise (other than weight lifting) that will allow me to gain complete control over every muscle and movement as well as strengthen. I’ve looked at Judo and Muay Thai, but I’m not sure if they are what I’m looking for. Any suggestions? I am also a relatively small, young female that doesn’t want to be in a room full of nothing but competitive men.

besides a good weight training regimine and proper diet i dont think there is such a thing, IMO. but people are always looking to get bigger and add muscle. what they dont understand that is a good exercise program no matter what it may be is only half of the equation, the other is a good diet or food regimine. without that you are defeating the purpose. you cant add muscle or tone muscle, well you can but only to a certain degree without proper nutrition.
