Yogalates Review

An interesting and effective low impact workout, Yogalates is the child of yoga and pilates. The principal tenets of yoga - emphasis on flexibility first, then strength - are paired with the principle tenets of pilates - stability in your core, then strength and ultimately flexibility. So what you have are the best of two already excellent workouts, rolled into a routine that addresses the whole body, stretching and strengthening all major muscle groups. Consistent practice of Yogalates should shape and tone your upper body and abs, as well as your arms, legs and buttocks.

Yogalates promises to help you improve your core strength, tone your muscles, increase your flexibility and reduce your stress levels. Additionally, if you're minding your diet you'll drop additional weight with these workouts as well. You can't go wrong. Yogalates classes are becoming more popular, and more likely to find in health clubs and yoga studios. You'll also find DVDs for home use available online.
