Online exercise recommendations?
Hello everyone!! I've been trying to do some sort of exercise every day, with a break on Saturday or Sunday. I have the 30 Day Shred, which I love, a Crunch Bikini Body video, which is silly but effective, and a 10 minute solutions Pilates video, which is a great low impact option. I also bellydance 2-3 (sometimes more)…

Crunch Bikini Body

Pilates not a good calorie burner?
Hello everyone! I just joined today, and I love it so far. The only thing I've found that I questioned was in the exercise section. I looked up how many calories I would burn doing 20 minutes of various activities and found that 20 of ping pong burnt significantly more calories than 20 minutes of Pilates!! How can that be…
