It's not Twister, but the next best thing

Yoga adds nice variety to a weight loss program, flexibility being up there with strength and cardio.

My favorite DVDs are by Gaiam, hosted by Rodney Yee. He explains things calmly, and his meditative sequences are very easy to get into.

I pulled out a beginner DVD the other night. Just the 33-minute section on poses had me worn out in a good way. They were showing basic poses, and explaining what not to do, and sometimes they left us in them for a little while!

The first one I bought was Rodney Yee on back care yoga. A lot of it is seated rather than standing, and it ends with a nice meditative sequence.

Namaste.
