Both yoga and pilates are great forms of exercise. But neither is a good choice for weight loss. In order to loose weight, we need 2 things: A good healthy diet and cardiovascular exercise. That means you need a workout that will increase your heart rate and maintain that heart rate for at least 20-40 minutes.To find the heart rate you should use during exercise, take 220 minus your age. That is your maximum heart rate per minute. You should never work at your maximum. You should work at 60-80% of that number and maintain the intensity for 20-40 minutes.If you have more specific questions about your exercise program, please feel free to contact me via our website. http://www.workoutsondemand.comPascale Vandenbroucke
