I have been walking on the treadmill for an hour everyday and have lost about 25lbs and I have plateaued. I have been looking for a great exercise to get rid of my flaby stomach, and my love handles on my hips. I am looking for something that works and is kinda fun. I have been researching the net for something. It seems like pilates might be fun, but does it really work? I know that Patrick Syawze and his wife have been doing pilates for years before it even came popular. Does anyone use pilates with great success? And what do I need to buy to get started?

Wow I check out this Turbo Jam and it seems really fun I'm waiting for my credit card to come in the mail and as soon as I get it I'm going to order it.

yes, it really does. It helps you get a nice and strong body and a good poisture. It is also helpful for piece of mind cause you increase your ability to consentrate
It will not reduce alot of fat though. The treadmill will be more helpful - do that in addition a couple of times pr week to get the best result ! - along with a change in eating habits.
Good luck!

My mom does pilates and she loved it, It is a great addition to Cardio and you should totally see results. I would look online for a program that will fit you and buy the DVD.

You want to balance everything, strength training, cardio, and flexibility. Pilates is great, it incorporates strength and flexibility. Weight training is very important. In increases bone density and muscle burns more calories at rest.
