Personally i think Yoga is better. With Pilates the emphasis is on building really strong core muscles and i don't have the patience towait for my abdominal muscles to 'engage' with every exercise. From doing one hour of yoga a week, for four weeks i've seen a difference. My muscles are a lot more willing to relax at the end of the day, even when i've not done any training. I learned from a book, and although some postures are harder than others, it's generally quite calming. I was actually quite suprised at how much i enjoyed it.

[quote user="Bouncyfi"]Habe thought about a Wii fit but not sure if I would do it at home. Maybe in a class with some one shouting at me would work better

Sounds like a great idea Sal, something like that is ideal for girly nights and would be very popular I'd imagine.

Bouncyfi-there are lots of beginners classes for Yoga which are suitable for anyone. I'm not the fittest person but didn't have too much difficulty in this class As you build your strength/resistence up over time some things will be a little easier but for a beginner it isn't overly taxing. If you're not sure invest in a Wii Fit and do it off there instead
