Should I do yoga, pilates, or spinning?

i'm not in very good shape; i have gained 20 pounds over the past 2 years and work a lot so don't exercise much. When i do exercise i usually just do about 30 minutes of the elliptical. how strenuous is pilates? i don't even know what it is. i want to take a class to get me in better shape. Any advise?


Pilates are a very good exercise that I would recommend in addition to a cardio workout. The pilates fitness program focuses on the core postural muscles responsible for keeping the body balanced and is vital to providing support for the spine. Pilates especially teach awareness of breath and alignment of the spine, and focus on strengthening the deep torso muscles.

I found this unbiased (that is not selling the dvds) review of 10 popular pilates DVDs you could buy from amazon or your favorite store like walmart or target.

If you are trying to burn fat what you need to do is CARDIO! Therefore, spinning will be your best choice. Maybe once you start losing weight you can add in either the Yoga or Pilates.

You're not going to lose weight in Pilates, that's for toning.
