Easy shapeshifter Yoga

…Without crunches, cardio, or ever setting foot in a gym!

Slow down, relax… and get into

your “skinny jeans” again

Now, chances are you may not think of yoga as “real” exercise. Maybe you think it’s simply stretching… holding what may seem like awkward poses… or humming “om”.


But there’s so much more to yoga. That’s why I want to get the word out to as many people as possible about the amazing body-shaping and life-transforming benefits it can offer you.

I was a long-distance marathon runner — and a classic, hard-charging “type A” personality. I always felt I had to run harder and faster in every area of my life: wife, mother, graduate student, and teacher.

Then I discovered yoga. Fortunately, I discovered it at a studio that taught yoga in its truest sense: slow-moving, focused, relaxing, and connected to the body. Doing yoga this way transformed my life by helping me finally slow down, instead of always going too fast.

Yoga also transformed my body. It’s like the ultimate anti-aging medicine! I’ve had three kids and am hitting my late forties. Yet I can still put on a bikini and feel great about how I look.

I also sleep like a baby at night and feel healthier than ever. I don’t have the usual aches and pains that crop up at middle age, even as a former marathon runner. Plus I enjoy more energy than people I know who are 10 or 20 years younger than me!

                            


So how can something as “easy” and relaxing as yoga do such amazing things for your body? It’s because while you can do yoga and not work up much of a sweat, it doesn’t mean you’re not working your body hard. Let me explain…

I have a Master’s degree in Exercise Science, so I have a good knowledge of human anatomy and performance. I’ve even conducted my own research on yoga in a lab and compared it to cardio exercise. And you may be shocked to hear what I learned from a recent experiment.

I had a colleague hook me up to a special device that measures caloric expenditure. Then I did a series of simple yoga postures strung together in something I call a “flow”, which put my body into a perfect fat-burning zone. During one 10-minute flow, the device showed I burned 7 calories per minute. That adds up to 420 calories in an hour — about what I’d burn by jogging!

Plus yoga is much better for your joints than jogging. With jogging, I’d have to worry about putting all that stress on my knees and hips. In fact, I had developed bursitis in my hip from all those years of jogging. But with yoga, my joints became stronger and more flexible, instead of stiff and achy.

That’s because yoga's fluid movements allow your joints — even if they’re swollen or painful — to glide smoothly over one another, improving strength and mobility… with NO wear and tear. And you’re able to burn off just as many calories — and even more fat!

The hidden trigger that’s making you fat…
and how to reverse it

You heard me right… yoga helps you burn off more fat — another huge advantage over cardio exercise. In the calorie study I just told you about, 6.3 of those 7 calories I burned per minute doing yoga were from FAT. That comes out to a whopping 90% — the same as with jogging! But yoga does something else to help you burn off more fat: it lowers cortisol.
