That sounds good...yes Pilates I can imagine being a bit 'calmer' in presentation. Unfortunately I have a very bad lower back which means I can't do much that isn't dead vertical...so straight aerobics and a lot of weight lifting is OK..but the aerobics tapes generally are featuring someone talking non-stop and making silly enthusiastic noises etc...or at least, they used to all be that way...haven't looked at any new ones I must admit.
