I just started to do Yoga with my wii fit plus. It's a great idea.
I really feel a difference since i'm doing it. I also realize where i need to strengthen my body.

Hope you continue to do Yoga.

I WANT A WII FIT SOOO BAD. i want a wii period. but thats awesome that you can do it with a wii fit. i cant wait till the xbox stuff comes out. i guess there are like 3 cameras that monitor your movements and you can kick, run, all kinds of things on it. i think it will be great. getting people off the couch and pushing buttons to having to move your body. imagine, in the future you will have to be in shape to play video games. lol

I love yoga. Sarah Ivanhoe's workouts are great. If you're using videos, it takes a few workouts to learn the routines. After that, you won't be looking at the screen as much. Have fun and enjoy. One thing with yoga is that you don't have to be perfect, just do your best and remember to breathe.

oh, i did a half hour sara ivanhoe one, i cant remember which one, it was on demand.

some of Sarah's good ones are: Yoga for Dummies (the first one I did) , Candlelight yoga, and 20 minute yoga makeover. Your local library might have one of these titles or something else you'd like. DVDs are good because you get to know the routine well, as opposed to TV fitness programs that are different each time you do them.

It's an older routine, but still a goodie: Dixie Carter's 'Unworkout'; I think no matter whether you're advanced or a novice you can appreciate the serene presentation of her piece. It's conversational, relaxing yet intense and very personable. The routine is very fluid and moderately challenging (depending upon your level of flexibility).

She of course like most encourages you to view the tape through once prior to doing the routine, but throughout the program she talks you through most of the moves, understanding how impractical it might be to look directly at the screen considering the pose you may be in.

So, my next question, how long should you do it for? could i do 30 mins a day and still get in shape or do i need more? i really want to get back in good shape, but its hard to fit a long workout in, i have a one and half year old, and its hard to do the downward dog when she is underneath you laughing.

Dracona, that makes it fun (the laughing child under you). I've gotten a good workout using the 20 minute DVDs, If you have 30 minutes, that should be plenty of time. It's the effort that you put into that time that really matters.

its really funny when she tries to do it too, my BF has gone to using her as a weight for sit ups by laying her across him giggling as he does them holding on to her, the other day she stopped by him, pointed, and said this dada, see dada up. lol she was making fun of him. ugh... i need to work out, i need to get on a schedule, i keep procrastinating.

Set a goal for yourself for this week. Something attainable. You'll feel good once that is accomplished and push to the next goal. Take one step at a time.

goal for this week is a 30 min every day, its small, and if i feel like doing extra i can. but even if it is an easy video.l

My wife has done ashtanga yoga and it is really good,. Ashtanga is a very dynamic yoga, she worked really hard when she was losing weight after our first child. Lots of sun salutations, that involve doing push up like exercises with lunges and stretches. Really good. She was pretty fit after a year of yoga.

thanks jon, cause im just wondering if i can do just yoga, or if i have to do something else with it, cause from what im reading it will make you strong and flexible, but will not help you lose weight, and i want to lose about 50 pounds. i might be doing soccer like 3 times a week, practicing with a college team and then on an indoor team to get back in shape, and yoga on top of it. i cant wait. i love soccer.
