Reasonable user expectations are to feel more limber

　　Before we get into the topic at hand, I have to confess thatI am a certified yoga fanatic. I have said many times that if I could get ridof all the workouts in the world and keep only 1, I’d choose Yoga and therewouldn’t be a close second.The upsides generally of Yoga are a great total bodyworkout, improved strength stamina and balance, a refreshed and an energizedbut calm feeling when you are done. There aren’t too many workouts that canclaim rightly to accomplish all 3.This brings me to the somewhat tricky part writing about theten minute Tony Horton workout “10 Minute Trainer” and it’s “yoga flex” 10program. My favorite Yoga program baone is the P90X “yoga x” workout. If you haven’t done P90X or anotherBeachbody program before you probably will have no clue what I am talking aboutwhen I bring up the “yoga controversy”.

In a nutshell, the yoga controversy centers aroundcomplaints by many who do P90X that the yoga portion is simply too long at 1.5hours. Personally, I don’t agree. However, this sets the stage for looking theother extreme in the total time disagreement with beachbody yoga: “yoga flex”in 10 Minute Trainer.I went into the workout skeptical and came out underwhelmed.However, I think the user should go in with realistic expectations about whatcan get accomplished with a yoga program in that amount of time. Basically,there are hard moves within yoga flex but they are hard in the stretching andflexibility sense. They are not hard in the strength and stamina sense.The poses are designed more to open up your joints in thehips, lower back and legs and center the breathing. The extreme poses found inP90X that have you sweating up a storm in minutes aren’t really included to anydegree in yoga flex.

Reasonable user expectations are to feel more limber, morerefreshed and have a calmer mind when you are done. In faiess, it doesaccomplish those goals in the 10 minutes allowed.Rather than trash yoga flex, what Electric Single Phase AC Motor I think thebetter approach is to see it for the benefits it does provide. Those benefitsare a nice complement to the extreme high-impact nature of the rest of the tenminute Tony Horton workout. If you are absolute beginner to yoga, I thinkyou’ll love yoga flex. If you have a background in yoga like I did, enjoy thestretch and take a yoga class or do a real yoga tape every week.
