| "if you want to lose weight you can also walk 30 minutes a day also it works just as good as any aerobic workout!!"
In fact it probably works better. If you excercise at the high levels typically associated with aerobic workouts your body will burn carbohydrates in preference to fat -- it treats the excercise as a dramatic event that is likely to be over relatively quickly and so burns short term fuel that can be converted to energy quickly (ie carbs, the simpler the better).
If you go for a brisk walk (or other low intesity activity such as cycling) the body treats this as something that could potentially go on for a while and so tends to burn its long term fuel reserves (ie fat) and tries to retain the short term fast acting carbs in case there is some kind of emergency.
My experience of Yoga would indicate its not the best for weight loss. All I know about Pilates is that its was impossibly fashionable with my Gay friends last Summer and its the thing to do if you like well toned young men in shorts.
