Answer by Justme
M friend does yoga and it has done wonders for her. I tried it however and due to recurring lower back problems it was not a good match for me. In theory there are instructors that can aork around this but I would rather just stick to the gym.

I have done pilates at home. Good stretch, core strengthening.

Question by mrr86: What kind of exercise do you recommend I try, pilates or yoga?
I want to buy an exercise video, because I want to tone up and lose some weight. I go to the gym, but I just started, and I would like to be able to fit something in on the days I cannot make it to the gym. I have a chubby stomach, and big thighs. Do you recommend I try a pilates video, or a yoga video? Or maybe you have other suggestions?

Question by mojo jo jo: Pilates- can you recommend a good DVD for beginners please?
i got ‘Pilates body in motion’ BY Alycea Ungaro out of the library and the introduction to it made me really excited and positive that pilates is for me but i was so fed up when i couldn’t even do the very first exercise ( page 26 preparation exercise) as my abdominal muscles must be really weak,( i am fairly fit) it is just impossible for me to sit up from a lying down position with out using my legs to help me. So anyway i don’t want to just give in and thought that following a DVD would be better than trying to do it step by step from a book. Can anyone recommend a DVD for beginners that really helps the viewer to understand what they need to do and what they should be checking ( posture) and does Alycea uNGARO HAVE A DVD?
THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE 🙂
