I find Pilates great for strengthening the core muscles, namely abs and back. I agree that it isn't a form of cardio and won't burn off much fat, but it sure tightened up my abs and made me look slimmer!

Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.

Your absolutely right about Pilates helping your posture. Wt training helps alot too!! The straighter you stand/sit/walk the slimmer you look!!
