It’s important to keep in mind that I’ve been doing yoga for about 15 years! Just do what you can comfortably do right now – don’t judge yourself or compare yourself to me. Listen to your body You should feel a gentle stretch, but never to the point o pain.

Also, for the standing poses, stand near a wall for security.

Continue making steps forward – even little steps – and you’ll reach your goals!

I just watched the intro video and I have to say that I am a little intimidated but motivated. I am very over weight and my balance is awful!

Karen, if you have injuries, walking is always a great form of exercise. Just apply the fat-blaster techniques to walking: http://www.marimethod.com/workouts/intense-fat-burning-bursts-ifbb/

Personally, I used YoMetrics and this eating program to get over many of my lower back & neck injuries. However, this is something that you would need to discuss with your doctor.

Are there any other exercises I can do? Because of some injuries I’m VERY limited in the standing yoga poses.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying YoMetrics, Debbie. And… that you saw such an improvement by your 2nd workout! YoMetrics will not only improve your strength, it will also help you development mindfulness (awareness) about how your body feels. And, as we become more aware of our body, it becomes easier to make the choice to exercise and eat healthy.

Make sure you’re taking time to do the final relaxation at the end. And, keep up the good work!

It took me a couple of days to work up to trying the Yometrics workout. I did the whole beginner’s workout yesterday, after only making it through a little more than half the day before. I actually liked it (for exercise). It’s so much better than going to the gym. Mari Ann, you do a great job of walking us through each step, reminding us of the important techniques, and repeating instructions with each set. Thank you.

Nope, 30 seconds feels like eternity – especially on the two you mention!

It’s fine to move on to Month 2, Rebecca! You can always come back and conquer those planks!

I am still doing the Month 1 beginners! I have been doing this for for well over a month. I can do the 1st 2 planks but can’t get the last 2. How long did it take you all? I do everything else perfectly, I want to move to the next month so bad. pray for me!

Is it just me, or does 30 seconds feel like 30 minutes? I have been working on perfecting my “Plank Pass-Out” and my “Wobbly Eagle Dive” poses. Someday I’m hoping to remain upright for the duration – lol

Yeah!! I still can’t do an entire session. But today I made it further into the video… it is the planks I struggle to do but I DID it for the first time. WOOT! PROGRESS!!

Did Yometrics Month 2 Beginners this morning. Proud of myself for finishing despite the charlie horse that threatened during my last seated twists!

Overall, these workouts make my joints and spine loosen up and I feel strong and ready to face the day!

Been doing the month 2 beginners yometrics. I have a little trouble balancing with the one on your thigh, but I’m getting better! I’m still amazed that something that looks so simple will give you such a workout!!

Just did my first yometrics workout! LOVE IT!! I am so glad that I was able to burn it to a DVD and play it in my DVD player.

Just finished my first workout. Whew! My body has never felt so stretched out before…but it’s a GOOD feeling. I’m gonna have to work on the Plank, Dog, & Forward Lunge, though!

I enjoy Yometrics. I find the poses hard to do, but I love the stretching you get at the same time.

By: Susan Eaton

Susan Eaton — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 02:42:07 +0000

I just love the stretches while doing the YoMetrics. I get knots in the muscles in my back and the stretches help me to work them out. When my muscles ache, I know it’s time to do YoMetrics! Stress = Knots, YoMetrics = relaxation and peace with my body.

I had a bad time Monday getting Yometrics to run – never got through it. I shut down my computer on Tuesday, pulled the power from it, then re-booted and it came back up. Is Linda with Consolidated? May have been an issue with them. Mine has been fine since then.

Linda, I’ve not heard anyone else having this problem – so it is probably an issue with your computer and/or internet connection. Try turning your computer off, then back on.

By: Linda Menaugh

Linda Menaugh — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 19:14:29 +0000

I keep having trouble with my mind movies running smoothly, I tried to listen to Susan’s testimony,
but it wasn’t working right, and now Yometrics was acting up, too, so had to do it w/o you walking me
through it.

eeehhh! Not pleasant, Theresa! Yes, you definitely need to do this BEFORE eating, or at least 1-2 hours after.

By: Theresa Cunningham

Theresa Cunningham — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 14:34:51 +0000

Fair warning! Don’t work out too soon after a meal. I ate breakfast then started working out about 30 minutes later. Didn’t keep my breakfast. Guess I’d better time this better!

By: Linda Menaugh

Linda Menaugh — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 18:55:14 +0000

Yay! I did my Yometrics today and it went really well!!! I did the poses really well for me and was able
to grab my foot with both hands on that one pose that I use to couldn’t do. I even was able to lay on my back
and get back up after the resting pose without a lot of trouble like I usually have! You walk us through the
Yometric poses very well, MariAnn! The introduction video was very helpful, too.

Whew am I sore after doing the yometrics for 2 days. But I feel firmer already. Took a long brisk walk today to give my wrists a rest. They get sore after doing the plank pose. Will get back to the YO tomorrow.

Hey Theresa – amazing how those static poses can get your heart pumping and cause you to sweat, isn’t it
Yes, you can absolutely download and burn to a DVD – in fact I highly recommend it. Under each video, you will see a link. Right click this link, and download to your desktop. Then, burn your DVD.

Excellent video. Really worked up a sweat! Is is possible to download it to a DVD so I can put it on my TV. My area around the computer is limited.

This looks really great. I have been doing “Body Electric” workout 5 times a week for the past 24 years and I know how important it is to not do high impact cardio in your livingroom as you might be doing it on the wrong surface and hurt yourself. All for strength training and muscle toning with cardio workout seperate. Very impressed with coupling this with the low GI diet. Why is it you always seem “too tired” to exercise and try to talk yourself out of it no matter long you have been doing it. The truth of the matter is that you have much more energy all through out the day and much better body function when you do exercise. Love doing it at home too. When you are working outside the home it is hard to find the time to make that special gym trip. Going through the materials now and starting your program next week. Can’t wait.

I am loving this. I have successfully fit this into my routine and I already feel more balanced and stronger. I fall asleep in the last two minutes of relaxation every time

Wow. I just completed the Beginners Yometrics. I’ve never done anything like this before so I was a little apprehensive. It was challenging but felt great. At the end, I felt so relaxed physically and mentally. You have the perfect voice for this. I know I didn’t do everything perfectly, but I’ll get better. Thank you so much!

Still haven’t lost any inches, but I have made a small improvement! I couldn’t get both hands on my foot in
that pose in month one, beginners and you said I would be able to do it and you were right!!! I can barely
get both hands around my foot on that pose now!!! Yay!!!

By: Linda Menaugh

Linda Menaugh — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 00:48:40 +0000

I so wanted a nap instead of Yometrics after I got home from work today, but since I already
gained 2 lbs. from a Christmas breakfast yesterday, I chose to do the Yometrics and feel better
now!!

I love the way you have set up this workout….I love being able to do it whenever I want to and not think about what I’m wearing, driving to get somewhere, or do I have enough time, but really learning to concentrate and listen to what your saying in each move and concentrating on each muscle and breathing. I love that you think about the whole body in each move. Thank you!

That felt great! I wasn’t able to do each one to the extent that Mari Ann did, but know that will come with time. I feel strong, stretched and ready for a shot of acv : )

I just watched the Intro video and it was great! Very good explanations of how to do it properly. I’ve been following the nutrition and ACV but tomorrow night is my first night for Yometrics. No more excuses, I know I’ll really, really enjoy it once I get started.
