I am trying to lose weight. I heard that yoga and pilates are good ways to help lose weight and tone your body at the same time. What I would like to know is which would be the best one to do and how many times a week should I do it? And should I do some cardio and/or weights along with it?

If you want to loose weight, I suggest you to do some cardio and combine it with Pilates. But focus specially on the cardio at first, then start doing more pilates.

The alternative among Yoga and Pilates is dependent upon what you're watching for. If you desire an pastime that improves flexibility even as firming your muscle tissue - above all the ones abs - then Pilates is frequently your greater alternative. If you desire to pay attention a little extra on flexibility and rather less on firming (might be you are getting your force coaching in different places), and you're additionally browsing for some thing that is helping cut back pressure and offers you an possibility for a few quiet time, then you definitely will have to check out Yoga. If you've powerful devout convictions, you might also be greater off with Pilates, even though many Yoga categories at the moment present very little philosophy and are applicable for all devout persuasions. Either alternative is well - you are editing your frame's wellness in some way no different variety of pastime can accomplish.
