Stedman's Cardio book says 1/6
or 2/6, etc., page 219
Do a mix of cardio and muscle strengthening but note
there is NO such thing as toning your muscles! Tone is the resistance and tension your muscles have that you cannot control.
You either use the muscle you have or you create new muscle. The ONLY way to change your muscle mass is to create new muscle, which means tearing the fibers of your current muscle and growing new muscle fiber. To increase muscle mass you need to PUSH the limits of your current muscle mass. Creating more muscle mass increases your capacity to burn fuel/make energy (burn fat/increase metabolism). Also, this is measured in ounces, not pounds. Also, women in comparison to men have far less ease in increasing muscle mass unless hormones or steroids are involved. Really, ounces people. One more point, muscle fiber is muscle fiber. It doesn't turn into fat and fat doesn't turn into muscle. You create or lose muscle mass, you store or shed fat cells.
I could go on and on and on....so many myths out there about this kind of stuff. IMO, optimum exercise is a combo of cardio and weights. No pain no gain has some truth in it. If you don't push your body, and you only need to push it a little, you aren't doing much but using the muscle you already have and using the energy (burning the calories) you've taken in for the day and not the calories you've stored as fat.
P.S. - I'm alot stronger cardio-wise also

I believe Pilates is good for shaping and strength, but you still need some cardio for good fat
