That's hot. Pics of the instructor?Oh and she has to pay some woman like $100 a session for private lessons.
Yeah this reformer thing is what my wife does. A small fortune but she loves it.Been doing Pilate's for 2 yrs now. I do the reformer 2-3 days a week. Im 50 and need to lose about 25lbs and I tweaked my back a few years ago shoveling. We do a lot of exercises for the core and my back feels pretty good. From ages 15-30 I was dedicated to free weights and running a few miles 4\5 times a week, so at first i was a bit skeptical. In the 2yrs I've been doing Pilate's my legs are much more toned and defined than they have ever been. The toning exercises we do are very good so I'm able to get some definition. My point, at my age (50) I'm concerned about building core strength and flexibilty and its helped me tremendously. BTW, it's not cheap as I pay $360 per 3 months for unlimited classes.
Does DDP Yoga count? I've been doing it since March and I've gotten thinner, more flexible and have more energy.What do you recommend for beginners starting out? What subtle changes have you noticed after doing yoga or pilates?
Yeah, I pay $99/month. But it's worth every penny. I average 20 classes a month, so it's $5/class. Not much more than a cup at Starbucks. And a lot better for you.BTW, it's not cheap as I pay $360 per 3 months for unlimited classes.
I will throw in the Yoga Zone series of DVDs. I've progressed from the beginner materials through the more moderate materials and onto a little bit of power yoga, though power yoga totally kicks my ###.I do yoga once a week at home and have been for 10 years. I'm 43 and way more flexible than I have been since probably a teenager or early 20s. It helps a lot with flexibility and balance.
This is a good place to start. Around 35 different routines from 15 minutes to 75 minutes, broken down into difficulty levels.

WHAT?My wife does about 10-15 classes a week, mostly abs and boot camp type stuff. She was reluctant to do yoga for a while because too many instructors focused on the spiritual side of it and she just wanted the workout. Now that she's found a few better instructors, she loves it. What she really likes though, is stretch classes. It's helped her with all of her other classes and just overall flexibility. She does that during lunch since you never really break a sweat.
Not joking...she's a fanatic. She's been working out for over 15 years but has really kicked it up over the last 5 years or so. That includes stretch classes during lunch, 2-3 times a week. She'll do 2, sometimes 3 other classes a day after work. Or if there's only one good class, she runs with some other women for like 5-6 miles in Central Park or down the east side, along the water.WHAT?
That's my only experience with yoga, so it's actually nice to hear that it was considered on the extreme side. I never got through a whole session - partly because of the sweat and partly because it was so time-consuming.The Yoga disc of "P90x" was by far the hardest of the 8 P90x discs for me.
I've never sweated so much while not moving in my life. What a workout.
I'm told the P90X yoga is extreme ... but I've never done yoga before so I have nothing to compare it to.
