Pilates - Conditioning For Weight Loss 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

...I was given this dvd as a christmas present, and so far all I can say is that this was one of the best gifts I have ever been given. Louise Soloman states that if the workout is completed 3 times a week for a month, you will see a deifnite change in your body shape, including weight loss and tone. Well for once this is a statement that is true. I have been doing the dvd consistently now for 3 weeks and I have alreayd dropped a dress size. I have never experienced a workout dvd like this. There are no over strenuous exercises that have you attempting to split your body in half like most yoga or pilates dvds, and everything is taken in a slow easy pace so you can feel the muscles toning with each stance. At first I thought I was doing something wrong, as being nearly 60ibs overweight it all seemed a little too easy, but boy was I... Read review
