Hello. I'm trying to find a good cardio workout that provides the same benefits of Pilates...but isn't actually Pilates. In my body shaping class at school, we did Pilates so much that I wanted to kill Joseph Pilates (and the person who thought of Windsor Pilates as well). Is there anything I can do besides Pilates (and yoga) that focuses on building core muscles? I'm trying to lose weight and I already committ to at least 45 minutes of exercise daily (running or biking). I just need this for more fitness and getting toned for personal reasons.
Plyometrics is a good workout, its pretty much "explosive training" say you take a medicine ball, find a brick wall, and throw it against it as hard as you can like a chest pass with a basketball. thatll work your core muscles pretty good. theres a whole bunch of exercises like that, just gotta look them up
I personally prefer Yoga to Pilates, although many of my friends prefer Pilates. I found this website ( http://bqa.net/ez/bvysdqfqgyvq ) recentlty, that was offering a free years membership for telling them which of the two you prefer. Quite simple really ... enter your zip code and follow some simple instructions.
