Q&A: Can someone reccomend a Yoga program or Yoga DVD set?
Feb 22nd
Question by kdecker6565: Can someone reccomend a Yoga program or Yoga DVD set?
I am a former football player looking for a low impact workout. I can’t lift weights or jog right now due to nagging pain from injuries (which I’m hoping Yoga can help.) I have done some Yoga before and want to find a challenging routine I can do on a daily basis. Can someone recommend a good DVD or DVD set?
Best answer:
Answer by Jedi
Get the firm yoga kit (roughly $ 20 at amazon.com and in stores)
Comes with a mat, a 30 minute workout dvd a strap and block. The workout DVD is easy enough to do for people with injuries.

Would you recommend pilates for toning up?
Feb 22nd
Question by : Would you recommend pilates for toning up?
I am a 17 year old female who wants to tone up a little. I am the perfect weight for my height and I am not fat in any way, shape or form. However, I am looking to tone up just to get that perfect figure for the summer holidays. My stomach is a bit wobbly and so are my thighs but that’s all. I do not want to become too muscly because I already run a lot (5km four times a week). I am considering pilates, but I would just like to know if any of you would recommend it. Have you done it and seen results? Are there any pilates dvds that you would recommend? Thanks.

Answer by severus
It is only the class that helps. A DVD won’t help with correcting your form. Plus you would love class. If you go that route, take ballet class. The belly dancing DVDs are good. Mirand Esmonde-White has a good DVD: Classical Stretch:arms, abs, legs and butt. You might get her workouts in on educational cable channel. Other than that, always best to workout with a teacher in a studio for the space and the better floor surface. More room, more education, more tools provided, more fun.

HAVING SEX WITH A 17 YEAR OLD.?
Feb 21st
Question by : HAVING SEX WITH A 17 YEAR OLD.?
GOING TO A PARTY I AM NOT REALLY INVITED?
OK, i am 25 year old from south america, i study in a univeristy in london, and now i am working for my fathers food company so i am making a lot of money. I finish with my ex girlfriend 6 months ago and after that i have decided to do a lot of activities.
The first activity i took was to do Pilates, and i have been doing it for 5 months now. I always take private lessons, but at the same time, their is another group lesson going on in the same place. For the last month a very beautiful 17 year old girl have been going to the group class. I have told the Pilates teacher (he is a 50 year old kind of hippie looking guy and his 48 year old sister who is also a teacher, they are pretty cool, but kind of weird) i have told them that i think that girl was quiet hot and that i would like to meet her, they have told me that she is really cool and has a great personality. I have only say hey to her like twice, and i havent done anything else because she is 17.
On thursday when i went to my pilates class, my teacher told me he had a surprise for me, he said that LAURA ( the girl i like) 18th birthday was on saturday and he and his sister has being invited to the party ( the girl and her mom are good friends with the pilates teachers, they both do pilates with them) , and the teacehr told me that he ask laura if he could invite one more person and she said yes, so the teacher wanted me to go with them.
Is a very good opportunity for me to get to know the girl . but i see many problems:
1) I am gonig to go to a party i am not really invite and i am arriving with two 50 year old people.
2) Everybody there is probably going to be like 17 or 18, and i am 25 so what the hell am i going to be there for.
3) the girl could think, this guy is so sad he is partying with two 50 year old on a saturday night.
4) the girl probably think that when the teacher ask her if he could invite one more person, she maybe thought that she was talking about inviting his wife or something, not another guy from pilates.
what do you think, would you go to the party if you were in my position?????
