I need some help deciding wether I should do pilates or go to the gym. I need a workout that will give me a really long and lean body. I really don't want to bulk up or have really big muscles. I need something that is meant to tone a woman's body. I've heard that pilates and yoga lenghten you out and give you a really lean body. However, I have also wanted to try goingt to the gym. I need to know which is better for losing weight quickly and giving me a really long lean body. I'm planing on losing 10-15lbs in 3 months. What do you think I would probably enjoy more?Can anyone recommend pilate studios or gyms for teens in Toronto?

If you join a gym, though, you should have access to both. Good luck! And have fun! Yoga is the ___!

Back to top Dtownfb Yahoo User Posted: Fri Mar 21, 2008 6:22 pm    Post subject: I'll recommend you do both. Pilates is nice but if you want to lose 10-15 lbs in 3 months, you need to sweat. That means hitting the cardiovascular machines (elliptical machine, bike, treadmill, etc.). If you do that 4x a week and Pilates 2x a week, you'll be in great shape after 3 months. If you have to choose one or another, do the gym. Focus on the cardiovascular and use the machines for lifting and dumbbells. Think low weight, high reps. Back to top
