Pilates and weight training?

[Christy10384]

Hello. I found this forum when I was searching for some answers and was hoping maybe someone here could help. OK...I started doing Pilates again (I had stopped for about 9 months) and I also go to the gym three times a week. I started Pilates again because I know it worked a little bit when I did use it. The reason I want to start again is because I want to slim down my thighs. My question is...since I started Pilates again, should I stop exercising my legs at the gym? Thanks for any help!

no way! you can certainly do both!

If I were you, I wouldn't use the machines, but doing other leg workouts using your own body resistance are fine and will help slim those thighs!

just increase the reps with a lower weight at the gym if your doing pilates as well.
