Calories vs nutiritional value

I made some homemade Larabars last night (dates, almonds, walnuts, and a handful of choc chips). Chocolate notwithstanding, it's a healthy snack.

Yoga DVD recommendations?
I'm looking to add yoga to my exercise routine. I'm a single mom and work full time, so it's hard to get to a gym. I go walking 4-6 times a week (3-4 miles 2-3x during the week and 6 miles on the weekend). Recommendations for Other types of exercise DVDs also welcome. Thanks.

Good site for Body Fat, Water, Muscle Mass, and Bone Density
Can anyone recommend a good site that can explain exactly what the numbers mean? I have a scale that measures all 4 statistics. Any opinions on how accurate they are? Thanks.
