I've done a 30 day butt challenge before but more for fun and accountability than expecting some amazing results. That said, it was great for compliance and got me back into better habits. I noticed more ease in the workouts as the month went on and my SO said he could tell a difference. I saw a slight lift. I'd say try it…

Yes. That's where the private session may come in handy. This would be an opportunity to get more familiar with safe poses for you. In a class, a good teacher will offer modifications but if not, you may be tempted to just follow along because you don't know any differently. Despite being a class, it is still meant to be…

Pretty much agree with everything said. Videos are convenient but you can really hurt yourself if you don't have correct form and adaptations. Yoga can really help with back pain if you have the "all clear" from your doctor. Find a class with a teacher who is comfortable working with your injury and uses props. Yoga isn't…

If you are a good cook and enjoy it, perhaps the kids can get on board with each planning and preparing a meal a week. Maybe if they are involved they will be less "picky" because they are excited about it and involved with it. You can use this as an opportunity to teach them some healthy life skills while you practice…

Thanks everyone, I will check out those options!

Thanks! I will look that up. It is kind of a plush carpet so I was wondering if the rubber mats would slide a bit. My yoga mat is rubber and it does slide some, not terribly so but enough to noticeby the end of my practice. There is some give in the carpet so I would expect the mat to give also. I am thinking even if it…

One thing I have found helpful is to think about what my body can do instead of the number on the scale or what jiggles more than it used to. Usually, my ability changes whereas my weight may not change or I may not notice a visual change in my body. Our bodies are pretty amazing in what they can do, no matter what size.…

I'd say it's pretty tough to come up with any reason not to try yoga. I've been doing it regularly for about 10 years now and I love it. I found that it helped me gain a lot of strength, particularly in my core, which would probably help you with spin. In addition, part of what your missing with spin could be due to poor…

Is this group active?

I'm with lindustum on the importance of clothing since this is probably a better indicator of mild weight gain or loss than the scale. I bought my expensive fitted snow pants as a perfect fit at my normal weight. I have so little wiggle room if I legitimately gain even a few lbs I couldn't wear them comfortably. I refuse…

Body Media Fit has my vote but nothing is perfect.
