I’ve been doing the P90X Yoga and Tony Horton’s “One-on-One” Yoga (which is basically the same thing boiled down to 40 minutes) for about a year and a half, once a week.
I am utterly and completely convinced that Yoga is absolutely necessary and frankly, in terms of flexibility and ‘durability’ in the real world, the most important component to a well balanced workout program you can do. Tony calls it the ‘glue’ to all the other components, strength resistance training and cardio that you can do. Aptly named, the “Fountain of Youth”. I believe it, I live it, I do it. And he’s right.
That said, I’ve been needed some new variety in my program and mostly in the Yoga. I stumbled upon Exercise TV and it’s a phenomenal resource for this sort of workout. You can preview/watch/do the routines presented (full screen) for free with commercials. You can download and own the programs -commercial free- for your own use for $6.99 for most of them. That’s very reasonable. Their site is here: Exercise TV
I’ve found one in particular and it’s a GREAT Yoga workout that totally kicks my rear. I was sweating, cursing and… loving it. Check it out for yourself:
