    in beginning running.... how do you get past the embarrasment? Comment by Davies_EL January 2015
  • I used to see other people running on the street and I never once thought about how they looked. The only thing going through my head was "*kitten* they're brave, it's freezing out here".

    in Best workout dvd?? Comment by Davies_EL January 2015
  • Hi! I use Solomon Yogalates, it's a series of DVDs so you can choose any of them, and she always makes sure there is a beginners version of the more difficult moves.
