Some friends of mine in a weight loss group have been working with the former Professional Wrestler Diamond Dallas Page to help promote his yoga series of workouts.

I gotta be honest, the first time I heard about it I laughed.

I am probably going to try it myself now.

You have to see what Arthur did with it, 140 pounds lost and more doing yoga:

    I wish I could change the title of the thread now, I didn't mean for it to sound like an ad for the program, just an awesome story!

    I haven't even looked into it yet, just know people who do it.

    Wow, that's just simply amazing. Yoga is so powerful and this shows that beautifully. And Arthur's attitude is one we should all have. "Just because I can't do it today, doesn't mean I won't be able to do it someday." (I think I got that quote right.)

    I think I'll do some yoga tonight.

    Thanks for sharing!

    He was one of our regulars at the bookstore I worked at. His transformation really was amazing. I've watched this video so many times already just because it is so amazing.

    I swear by DDP Yoga. It is a great plan. And YES it works. Anyone struggling with exercise should check it out. I've used it on and off for the last 2 yrs but am back on. I mix it up with some cardio.
