hmr44 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Right after years of being slim, I am finally getting curves! Which is fine, but I don't want it to get any further than that! My friend said yoga is a great way to get into shape, and great way of relaxing. Does anybody do it, does it tone you up? Is it a good form of exercise?

DaBouncer Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Yoga is very good as is Pilates (pronounced: Pil-ar-tees). You could always do the old fashion route and just use a gym or ride a bike, walk and even more amazing.... eat healthier PS Nowt wrong with curves love... curvey women are lurrrrrrrrrrrvly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I think you'll find that most forms don't give you a flat stomach, but they will help your overall health, flexibility and muscletone, and make you more symmetrical and centred so you injure yourself less than before you started doing it. I'm a huge yoga convert- I do Iyengar yoga which is very slow and exacting, and uses lots of props to help you maintain the poses for up to 10 minutes at a time. I would never have believed that some of the slow poses could be such hard work, and I found muscles I never knew existed when I started doing it, but it's improved my flexibility and pain control no end.

LouLounHarry Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I would recommend Ashtanga yoga as a great way to keep in shape menatlly and physically. You also meet some lovely people through yoga. Ashtanga is a more dynamic yoga that Iyengar (faster and more flowing). If you fancy a challenge try both!
