Pilates is an exercise sort of like yoga. It focuses more on building strength and toning muscles then relaxation. It's very easy to do; you can do pilates while watching TV (like I do) and it DOES work (even better if you do it as part of a regulat exercise plan). "Pilates for Dummies", both the book and DVD, are very easy-to-understand and are an excellent way to start. If you don't want to buy anything, here's a couple websites I found on Google:

There's one exercise in particular I use a lot. You lay on your side (let's say left) and you raise your right leg until it's about equal height with your shoulder. Then you sort of draw a circle with your foot and repeat that 20 times (or as many as you can do) Then do the same thing, but on your right side. Also, if you lay on your side and just kick your leg towards the ceiling, that works well too.
Sorry if I couldn't explain those well, but I hope I helped anyways! =)
