    Ultimate Yogi

    I have the series, and I like it very much. I've also been doing yoga for a number of years. I would recommend, as another poster did, taking a class or 2 at a studio first, so you can learn proper alignment. If you're interested in a faster-paced class, try an Ashtanga or Power Yoga class...

    Has anyone followed the NROLW program?

    I have the book, and I disagree with a lot of it! I supposed I'm biased, because I teach Pilates and yoga and do a lot of individual strenghtening exercises. But speaking from my own experience, training only multiple muslce groups left me weak in certain areas, while training individual...

    Joint/Foot Pain

    OK, so I just ordered a few DVDs (cardio) and am finding that, because of a weight gain of 30 pounds over the past 5 years, not only is my stamina low, but I have pain in my knees and feet when work out. Can I just say that I'm starting to feel old, lol?! I guess I'll have to keep it...

    Gosh I'm just so miserable

    Jasmin, it sounds as though you're going through a pretty serious depression. Having been there myself (for a LOOOOONG time, lol!) I can tell you that it WILL get better, but you may need to do some self-care. Have you thought about counseling? There are many places that give counseling for...

    STS Shock Cardio vs. Shaun T's Insanity

    I tried the Insanity workouts, but found them to be somewhat repetitive and, after a while, boring. I like Shaun T., but this just wasn't the program for me.

    Adding Cardio

    Hi! I just ordered 2 of the cardio workouts (MMA Fusion and Shock Cardio HiiT) and have a question: I currently teach Pilates 4 days a week (6 classes in all) and do yoga 2X a week. (I also walk and ride my bike.) How often should I do the cardio, ideally? Thanks for your help! Take care...
