Question by pinkghost15: Should I lose weight first and then start pilates or do both at the same time?
Hi, I really want to lose 30lbs because I’m about 50lbs overweight. But I also want to get a really tight core like I used to have but I don’t know whether I should start running and lose the weight first and THEN start pilates for my abs and stuff or if I should do both.

I’m trying to find some good pilates or yoga workouts online that I can do in a small apartment. There are several videos on YouTube, but does anyone have any specific recommendations?

The key for losing weight is simple – consume less food and move more – the issues surface when we in reality try to put that into operation! There are loads of opportunities to fail out there don’t you think?! The sole method that really showed results for me was wu-yi tea, it can be seen in the resource box below, they have a handful of free trials left, it has been reported in Fox News and CNN. I lost 20 pounds, it really does produce results!
