A: Yes. Yoga and Pilates are great compliments to traditional strength-training exercises because they target the abs and core muscles more effectively than do weights. But they do not offer enough resistance to increase muscle and build bone mass - important goals for women over 40 years old.
A mix is best: tag a little strength-training onto the end of your yoga or Pilates workouts 2-3 times a week.
