Check out DDP Yoga. It was designed to heal (the founder had blown out his L4 and L5). You can see lots of examples and inspiration on youtube. You can get workouts on DVD, but there is also an incredible app called DDP Yoga Now. You can get a great cardio workout at the same time as strength and flexibility. I do it…

Your best bet is to get a heart rate monitor that gives you a calorie estimate. Then you can enter your calories manually. In the mean time, you could probably log it as "walking" or "eliptical".

OMG! DDP Yoga was made for you (used to be called Yoga For Regular Guys). Developed by Diamond Dallas Page, it gives you high cardio while building strength and flexibility. One of the reasons he came up with this was because he couldn't deal with all that "namaste s#!t" - his words. I've been doing it for the last 8…

Love, love love DDP Yoga. High cardio while improving strength and flexibility. It comes with a program guide that has "suggested" schedules for 13 weeks and you do the one that fits your abilities or do your own thing. The only equipment you need is the DVDs and a heart rate monitor. As far as I know, they are only…

Without a doubt, DDP Yoga. I've done a bunch of different things and I've been a trainer for almost 15 years and DDP Yoga really made a difference.

You didn't say how long you were running, but I would be inclined to go with the HRM.

I am also over 50 and I do DDP Yoga almost everyday. It isn't like regular yoga. You get a pretty great cardio workout with virtually NO impact. There is also a big emphasis on breathing. In fact, one of the lessons is just controlling your breath. Most of the workout are around 30 minutes and modifications are encouraged…

You might try DDP Yoga. It isn't like regular yoga. It's great for flexibility, but also for strength and even cardio. He does a great job of encouraging modifications depending on your level. I've been doing it for 7 months, but noticed some pretty significant increases in flexibility after just a few workouts. You can…

As far as I know all pedometers count your steps by the vibrations generated by your movement. The vibrations in a car or mower or motorcycle... whatever are likely to register. So to answer your question directly, no.

I highly recommend DDP Yoga. It isn't like regular yoga. It is a really good cardio workout with virtually no joint impact. It was developed by a former professional wrestler (I almost ignored it because of that) who blew out his back. He is really good at explaining and encouraging modifications to fit whatever…

I have an Aurorae yoga mat. Lots of people swear by Manduko also. The Aurorae mat is thicker than Giam and come in some nice colors. Manduko is pretty heavy duty, but not pretty (if that matters to you).

My heart rate monitor gives me an estimate of calories burned, and I have noticed that what I burn doing DDP yoga is double (or more) the estimate that MFP gives for yoga.

Look into DDP Yoga. It is not traditional yoga. It can be easily modified based on whatever your limitations might be. I was a gym rat for years and now I use DDP Yoga as my strength training. It is also a pretty great cardio work out. Even after lifting heavy, I have noticed more gains in strength with this yoga than I…

The "rest day" is primarily for weight training. You want to give your muscles time to heal before working them hard with weights again. There is nothing wrong with doing cardio everyday. Especially if your cardio consists of 30 minutes on a bike, it's fine.

Depends on how sore I am. I have found that the more I move, the less sore I feel. Getting the blood pumping to sore muscles makes them feel better. It is after being still that I feel the most sore. The soreness does go away.

Delayed soreness is pretty common. If you are really sore (not able to move normally) for more than 2 or 3 days, you have probably overdone it. A good trainer will know this. Just tell it like it is. Working you so hard that you can't move should not be your trainer's goal and frankly can lead to injury.

An asymmetrical weight shift is actually pretty common. It has do do with muscular imbalance in the limbo-pelvic-hip-complex. Things you can do to correct it are: Stability ball squats, self myofascial release (foam roller) the TFL/IT bands and static stretch (hold for at least 30 seconds) your adductors on the same side…

DDP Yoga Is great (used to be called Yoga for Regular Guys). I really enjoy it and it is a hybrid of yoga and rehab. Decent cardio workout because of "dynamic resistance" with minimal joint impact. ddpyoga.com

I second Yoga Studio.

I can't say enough good things about DDP Yoga. It isn't "regular" yoga. I've been a personal trainer for 14 years and I use DDP Yoga as my personal strength training routine. I have seen some really incredible transformations with this program. If you want something that has cardio benefits as well as strength and…

Swimming and biking are great. If you want to think outside the box a little bit, try DDP Yoga. It is a modified form of yoga that can really get your heart rate up AND it may help with achey knees. It is on DVD and all you need is a heart rate monitor.

Look into DDP Yoga. It can be easily modified for your knee (and you may find it kind of "rehabs" it). It is NOT traditional Yoga at all.

I've been doing it for months. There is such an emphasis on modifying to your own level, I don't know how someone could injure themselves unless they are trying to work way beyond their level, but that is true on any exercise program. I think you can find at least small portions of some of the workouts on youtube, so you…

Not a movie, but if you have a tablet, look into BitGym. It's an app that takes you on "rides" through scenic places. It used the tablets backward facing camera to judge the speed. I use something similar on my treadmill and find it quite enjoyable.

jadekimbo, I log the calories from my heart rate monitor as "Yoga" under "Cardiovascular". In general it's usually at least twice the MFP estimate for yoga.

DDP Yoga is pretty awesome. I've been a trainer for 14 years and just recently discovered DDP Yoga and I think it is for just about anyone. I recently got back from the DDP Yoga retreat in Mexico. There were people there who had never done it before and some that had been doing it for years. We had 2 workouts a day for…

I have one for breakfast every morning. I don't know what you are expecting, but all I want my food to do is taste good and provide nutrients. And as nutrients go, green smoothies are pretty dang high.

Ok... I think I figured it out. The first pic is the beginning of a workout. The second is DDP and me. We're best friends now. ;-)

If you did these exercises as a circuit, you can log it as "Bodyweight training" under "Cardiovascular" and enter the time you spent doing it. That will give you a calorie estimate.

Steroids are a *****. Keep track of EVERYTHING you eat. No guessing. If you are eating fewer calories than you are using, you'll lose weight.
