YOGA Anyone??

[not2late]

Anyone who "pooh-poohs" yoga is talking out of the behind they're not flexible enough to see - If they're saying yoga isn't tough and strength/endurance/flexibility building, it's cuz they haven't TRIED it.

I love yoga - & yep. It hurts & first. LOL

I agree with you Brook. When I go through my yoga exercises, my heart rate increases faster and I break into a sweat faster than when I do my miles. It looks easy, but it ain't!

Re: YOGA Anyone??

The only kind of yoga I could ever see myself doing is Bikram, because it is rather intense due to the heat of the room. I tried it a couple of years ago and really liked it!

Re: YOGA Anyone??

I hear people talking about Pilates strengthening their "core" muscles. Betty, you ever try that?

Re: YOGA Anyone??

Pilates shares some of the same principles as yoga and tai chi. I have an old back injury, pilates puts a strain on my back so I can't do it. Other people, however, find their back problems improved by it.

I've tried Pilates; and I work my core muscles rigorously on my exercise ball (I love that thing! ). Yoga would give me even more core strength, I think!! Can one EVER have too much core strength?

I love Yoga and also Pilates (although I agree the latter can be a bit rough on the back) Yoga is so good for stress reduction-I have even taught our four kids yoga breathing so when they are stressed or bickering, they can use it to chill

Re: YOGA Anyone??

I took a yoga class when I was 21. It kicked my butt! I was all shakey with muscle fatigue afterwards and SOOOOOORE the next day! Yoga is definitely tough!

I do pilates 5 times a week. I love it! I went from not being able to complete one sit-up (C-section last year) to doing 20 crunches in 3 weeks. Pilates was a great way for me to work up to doing more vigorous exercising. I am very out of shape. I started with the Pilates For Dummies video. I found it an excellent way to start out.
