I want maximum return with minimum effort But really, any good moves or DVD's for general toning? I already do some cardio, and I don't really want to lose weight, just shape up.

However, I would take a class to make sure you are doing it properly. It's not as easy as it looks. I took reformer pilates and loved it so much more than mat.

All my problem areas. I have always been into cardio and weight training, but I swear, pilates has made so much more of a difference than months and months of the other two. And the best part about it, you're on a mat, lying down. No heavy weights, no loud music. Relaxing, but man is it HARD! -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01
