Kisen Yoga For Weight Loss (previously Yoga For Weight Loss By Kisen) (DVD)

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: It's not easy

...Yoga conditioning for weight loss, I got this dvd from ebay for under £5.00. I truly wish that I had not of bothered. I need to loose weight(about 4 stone-Yikes) but just cannot find the strength or energy, anyway I used to work with a woman who was into yoga and she was pencil thin. I have never wanted to be that skinny but slim would certainly be nice! So I thought if she can do it,I can do it.(how wrong was I) Apparently yoga has loads of benefits one of which is its supposed to help you naturally loose weight and keep it off.,increase your energy and stamina while balancing the mind,body and spirit. I never had the courage to go to a yoga class I didn't like the idea of every looking at me,so I had a look around the internet and came across this DVD. Yoga conditioning for weight loss is set in Arizona(USA) and was designed... Read review

...weight loss. I did not buy this DVD as I need to lose weight, but love Yoga and thought I might do a little extra at home rather than paying an fortune to go to an extra class. After a month of doing the DVD... if i'm honest only once a week, I have not lost any weight. I have felt some increased toning though in ceratin parts of my body. I am not suggesting that you cannot lose weight by doing these workouts, but I am the kind of person that thinks oh i've done a bit of excerise now i'm going to eat chocolate.

...Member?s advice on weight loss: (Update: Week Two: 16th June 2009): This week was harder than my first week, I get terrible PMS which leads to cravings and also affects my mood a lot. I have had several bouts of tearfulness and some terrible mood swings. Normally a couple of bars of chocolate would help, (I am sure it does something to calm my moods), but obviously that is out of the question. Money has been a bit short this week too which has added to the stress but at least I have not ruined my diet! I actually lost more this week, 7.5lbs! Woohoo! That means I have nearly lost a stone in two weeks! I don?t expect the weight loss to keep up this speed but I am really happy about it! The main thing I did better this week is drinking water, I am sure that I have been drinking my 2 litres a day and I really do feel so much better... Read review
