Comment on Yoga for the Rest of Us: Heart Healthy Yoga by C. Allen

If you have heart disease or want to take proactive steps to avoid it, this DVD is for you! Yoga has been proven to help lower stress levels, reduce blood pressure, lower heart rate, improve lung capacity, etc. In this DVD, Peggy Cappy guides you in a series of sun salutations specifically targeted to improve heart health. Peggy has a calming voice and her instructions are easy to follow. Her students come in all shapes and sizes so you need not be intimidated by spandex-wearing models. I suggest watching the DVD from start to finish before you begin. In one segment, Peggy’s students give testamonials about how yoga has benefited them. Watching the students in class while listening to their first-hand stories is truly motivational!!!!

I enjoy all of Peggy Cappy’s yoga programs, however, this one which is mostly sun salutations should have had a warning that someone with wrist issues will be unable to perform it. Weight bearing on the wrists is required.

I am lazy and often eat frozen lunches at work. These Healthy Choice Fresh Mixers are just as easy to make and taste way better than the frozen lunches.

I’ve enjoyed every flavor so far, including this one.

An unexpected surprise for a dried pasta meal. Would definitely recommend! Perfect for the college co-ed.

When people tell me that yoga is only good for stretching, but doesn't improve cardio fitness, I recommend this video. Done slowly, the Sun Salutations are great for endurance, flexibility, and strength. Done more quickly, you add the benefit of cardio exercise.

I love this video because Peggy breaks down the Saluations into an easy to learn flow.

The chair version of Sun Saluation on this video also makes the Sun Saluation accessible to people who cannot work comfortably on the floor. This is also a great start for people who need to improve their flexibility, but need to start with a variation that is doable and then work their way into more advanced version. (And as trainers know, being successful is motivating.)

First thing in the morning I start with the chair version and then move on to the floor version as I limber up a bit.

During my last physical, my doctor noted that I had lost 11 lbs. in the last year. I told her it was my morning Sun Saluations. Rating: 5 / 5

I love FRS. I love the extra energy I get to stay awake & stay focused during the day. I would recommend this product to anyone that is having issues with getting sleepy in the middle of the day.

THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ENDED UP BEING FOR ME NOT MY BABY AFTER I READ THIS BOOK! I FOUND THE ADVICE IN THIS BOOK TO BE SCARY AND DETRIMENTAL TO MY HEALTH AS A NEW MOTHER. BABIES ARE NOT MACHIENES AND SHOULD BE CARED FOR AND LOVED AND NOT LEFT IN A CRIB TO “CRY IT OUT.” AFTER READING THE FIRST FOUR CHAPTERS OF THE BOOK I RETURNED IT. DR. SEARS OFFERS MUCH BETTER ADVICE IN “THE BABY BOOK.” DR. WEISBLUTH INFERS THAT IF THE BABY DOES NOT GET ON A REGULAR SLEEP SCHEDULE BY 6 WEEKS OF AGE THAT THEY STAND THE CHANCE OF DEVELOPING ADHD OR LEARNING PROBLEMS LATER IN LIFE. THIS IS THE WORST ADVICE YOU COULD GIVE TO NEW HORMONAL MOTHERS. HAVING WORKED IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL FOR MANY YEARS I KNOW THIS TO BE COMPLETE BUNK! I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE, EVEN MY WORST ENEMY. TAKE MY ADVICE AND DON’T BUY IT. BUY DR. SEARS INSTEAD AND LOOK FORWARD TO A HEALTHY BABY.

Comment on The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook: 125 Easy and Delicious Recipes to Jump-Start Weight Loss and Help You Feel Great by shanti1

I really enjoy the scientific information that is given in this book. The authors have included research on people that switched to a vegan diet, and who reaped wonderful health benefits in return. The book includes 125 no-fuss, low-fat recipes that are easy to prepare. The one drawback to the recipes that I found is that they are rather bland. I have had to add additional spices to some of the recipes to suit my palate. The great thing is that they are easy to prepare, using ingredients that are easy to find – nothing exotic.

If your looking for a pick me up, you can forget this one. I tried the powder and the cans of liquid, neither worked for me. Although they did elevate my heart rate.
