How often should I do Pilates and cardio, since I want to do both?
A Visitor Asks This Question:
I don’t want to go overboard, but I want to see results. I’m going to be doing Pilates at home and going to the gym. Honestly, the only the I really do at the gym is the elliptical macine. So how many days a week should I do each? What kind of schedule should I go by?
My #1 goal is to lose weight. I know Pilates isn’t meant for that, but I would like to get toned also and it seems like a great way to go about it.

Since cardio only burns calories while you’re doing it, you’ll have to do it every day.
A better way to burn fat is with high intensity resistance training. Workouts are short because you increase resistance as your muscles adapt, not the time spent working out. Then for the next 48 hours you can relish in the after-burn. It’s during that time that the muscles heal and continue to burn stored fat.
