I suggest you all to do YOGA if you really want to be fit. I have experienced the different before and after doing the YOGA. doing YOGA really make you very fit and comfortable. i feel is better than the daily work out.
yoga is the best
Would you suggest a class or a video/dvd training for a beginer?
How long do you do it for? I mean per day.. an hour? half an hour?
I alway been tempted to try out but never really crossed the bridge...

oh i tried this at home yoga video for an hour and oh man is it hard!! you have to be really comitted to see results 
I am thinking of going to yoga class. Not to be fit, but to feel more relaxed. Fysically I mean. But I don't want all the "be in touch with yourself", "connect with your inner-child"-kinda talk.
Yoga is also connected to religious ideas which I do not like very much. But maybe I'm completely wrong. Could you elaborate a little more on how Yoga helped you to be more fit? and what would you suggest to do as a beginner? Go to class? read a book? 
Hi guys, normally, i heard that christians usually will not like yoga, as it is related to meditating, which is a no-no. But i guess this is REALLY just for relaxation. So do not take this too seriously with all the religion complexities for that matter. I would suggest that those interested seek the videos from qualified Yoga instructors. There are some fake videos - those who generate just to make quick bucks. So it would be wise to do some research and make sure that your instructors are qualified instructors. You wouldnt want to really practise under an unqualified one. IMHO.
I've been practising yoga for years and I think its a really great way to get a tone body and relax your mind at the same time..... Everyone can do it and it doesn't need to be hard, no one is expected to do all the stretches straight away, you have to practice it...
I find Hatha Yoga the most relaxing and Iyenger Yoga the most hard core...

It is true that working towards increased flexibility is good for you. Stretching actually does exercise muscle fibers and it tends to do so at the extended ranges of movement that are otherwise not safe for heavier weight training. However, yoga will not replace more intense cardiovascular training. It will not build strength like strength training (rather it will build strength more on the lines of toning exercises). Finally, it will not burn fat at the same rate as fat-burning exercise (pulse ~110-140). If you do yoga for a year, don't expect that to enable you to bench press 300 pounds or to run a marathon in under 3 hours. Yoga is definitely good for you but it does not replace all other types of physical exercise.
Nothing in Christianity prohibits yoga. Meditation is fine in Christianity and both inner reflection and attention to physical health are encouraged!

Well, I've heard it's positively dangerous to start learning from a book or video, without a teacher. I don't really know if this is true or not. And actually, one of my friends sprained her back practicing with a video. It wasn't anything serious, but it did make me a bit apprehensive...
I am sure Yoga is great but unfortunately it is not my type!
It is slow and needs patience which I find boring !

I am too convinced that Yoga is the best.Recently i am practicing Yoga from my Yoga Guru. I was so inspire when i saw my friend father who is so healthy in his mid 50's age. He was doing Yoga at the age of 20. Yoga keeps the mind frees from worries. It is a type of meditation. After doing Yoga i have find many changes in my health and mind. So i suggest everyone to do Yoga
Yoga is the best natural exercise.

Yoga is an universal health rejuvenation program and has no barriers of religion. Hence a person of any religion can practice it. I have personally experienced the difference it makes in a person's life. Occasionally I practice the Yoga as told by Ramdev Baba. Those who are interested can watch Ramdev Baba's on Aastha channel.
is yoga really helps you or it just mentally affected you and simultaneously helps you recover or gain health...like some kind of placebo..
Yoga changes daily way of living.
May Be, the problem it that there is not a lot of places where to practise it ...
And practising it individually is very disapointing at the beginning.
