This is great! Smooth, easy to do at home, and challenges a variety of different muscles. I'll be doing this all spring.

6/18/2012 12:06:31 PM Report AbuseI started this workout on May 17. I discovered some energy and nutrition bars on here(The Luna Bar and Cliff Bar). Later that day I went to wal-mart and bought 6 energy bars, 3 of each brand, and each were under 260 calories and only 98 cents, a yoga mat for $9, and workout shorts for $5. The next day I used these items and the workouts were much easier. Unfortunately, I was sore for about 3 days. It has been only 4 days since I started and I can definitely see my muscles getting toner.

It helped me discover the amazing benefits of yoga: increased flexibility, stress relief, toned muscles, improved sense of health and well being and so many more. It also helped me lose weight!
