hey guys!

i havent been raw for very long but feel like my body has changed shaped slightly since embarking....I went veggo Dec 2011 and then in the 6 months following i evolved into vegan and now raw for probably 1-2 months properly! i am really enjoying it! i feel energised and i feel like my body is clean! Prob until i found this website i have been consuming too much fat (ie soaked nuts-raw gourmet) but I want to get a little leaner!

before i was even veggo I use to run and i found that built muscle and didnt burn much fat
I then tried Tracy Anderson Method which i love-that leaned me out from the running into that nice feminine shape she likes to achieve...

now i am walking (i try for 4-5 days a week) and doing yoga (i try for 3times a week) I am loving my yoga so i want to ampe that up!

any more suggestions or links to you tube work outs where i can burn fat and even minimise my muscle? I don't want it to waist away but i would like i longer, leaner, sleeker look!

My measurements are currently: 33-26-38 ( i would ideally like to get my hip back down to 34in...i put on lots of weight, as in 20kg in a 12month period after returning from living OS...it was a messy time but anyway, i loved my figure then and would like to get back to it!)

please help for yoga workout, butt burning, thigh melting tips! :) :) :)

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and the timing is perfect...coming back toward 811 after a couple years away, and just read the You Are Your Own Gym book, so to find this group was sweet! I just found the You Are Your Own Gym iPhone app and am supposedly :O about to start the 10-week suggested program. :) Anyway, hi y'all.

Annette, I would start out by looking at a fitness YouTube channel like Yuri Elkaim or Zuzana Light:

Even if your indoor space is too small for some exercises you can always go outdoors when the weather is nice.

Annette, my favorite body weight exercises are push-ups, pull-ups, pistol dips, regular dips with a couple of low and stable dining room chairs and hand-stand push-ups against a wall. These may be a bit advanced for some, but a few of them can be modified. Also, found a copy of Convict Conditioning in PDF for free when I did a search on Google. It has exercises starting from easy and working up to awesome.

Hello to all,

I'm new and would like some suggestion on how to start using your body as your gym.  Live in a very tight space about 3ft by almost 6ft area that would be the salon/living room (live on boat, that would be the only space that's roomy enough). Right now all I do is walk 40mins a day, really have no idea how to start, help would be appreciated... Thanks
