kailla Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 So, I'm changing up my exercise routine from traditional weight-training, and I would like to get more into Pilates and yoga. I teach a 1 hour Pilates class on Saturdays and that gets me going, but that's pretty much it. I'd like to incorporate more through the week. Any suggestions? Work out schedules? Work out plans?

scornell Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I've been getting a bit bored of the traditional weight training sessions lately myself. You should look into Cross Fit. Its intense, different, and leads to kick ass overal fitness For Yoga and Pilates, I like hot yoga. Once you've got a bit of experience you can do advanced classes that are quite challenging!

Rob PMFF Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hot Yoga and Vinyasa are awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kailla Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yeah, hot yoga is the one thing I haven't tried. I'll have to give that a shot. I'm doing Iyengar, Anusara, and Ashtanga yogas right now. It gives me a good blend. Iyengar is actually my favorite since it helps me refine my poses and breathwork. What a difference from weight training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickvicious Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I've been thinking about taking pilates classes because it's supposed to help runners. I just don't know if I would be able to commit to it to the point of where I would see results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kailla Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 If you do 2 classes a week, you'll see results...besides, it sounds like it will supplement your running, so use it for that. It's a great workout and a nice complement to more strenuous exercises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRose Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I take vinyasa-style ashtanga yoga classes at a nearby studio, and their basics class has never failed to keep me challenged! Highly recommended for building up flexibility, toning, and strengthening. Also good for helping with bad backs and ailing digestive systems--I soooo speak from experience there!

godisagnostic Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I too am interested in how to best balance yoga and weight training. I prefer yoga to weights and really should do more yoga as I have a bad back, but I don't know how to best schedule it to not conflict with weight training.
