Fitness mania continues

So after all that gym ball disasters and stuff have not dropped the weight since I was not consistent with going for the aerobics class. Now I have got into this yoga mania. Well not that I am dressed to the nines with all the yoga gear and have mastered all the asanas. I am thinking of joining a yoga class. So does anyone know anything for this budding yoga enthusiast? Read that it helps to balance the mind and soul. Loads of help needed in that department. Have found good teachers but need to know for sure from someone’s been there done that. Should I continue with aerobics (which have not sighted in months) or switch to yoga.

This is an emergency situation since the birthday is coming up next month. I have two phases where I go crazily into weight loss regiments. One is for new year, one is for birthday. So any advice on yoga related issues please?

Sorry can't help you with Yoga. I was once remotely interested, but looked too painful to try.

But if I were you I'd forget about fitness until AFTER the birthday. After all, we are supposed to enjoy our birthdays,.. Filling up on birthday cake, maybe a few beers and all sorts of tasty and oily treats! Can worry losing all those additional kilos after the birthday.

i started yoga a few months ago and even though i loved it, i found it didnt really help with weightloss. its very relaxing and probably helps with toning, but if you're looking for instant weightloss, yoga's prob not the way to go. that said, i find that the gym doesnt do much either. its 90% what you eat, or so ive read.

I agree with t, yoga will not work.

Go to a gym and work on the cardio machines (bikes, steppers, cross trainers, treadmill etc) or go for a walk, swim jog or something similar.

You need to do it 2-3 times a week for at least 20-30 minutes.

Also watch your diet and cut out carbs, sugar and fat. Do a google search for the types of food to beware of.

Good luck.
