Yoga and Stretching: Getting Started

Q: I'm thinking of including some yoga and stretching in my weekly routine; what's a good way to get started?

A: One way to get started with a stretching routine is to locate a resource with plenty of pictures of exercises, along with descriptions of what muscle groups are being stretched in which exercises. A good resource available at Amazon.com is Bob Anderson's book, Stretching.

Another way to start is to look for on-line pictures of stretches such as those on our Exercises Index.

If you would prefer to work out in the privacy of your own home following a qualified instructor, consider trying one of Karen Voight’s yoga or Pilates DVD’s or videos including YogaSculpt VHS, Yoga and Sculpting DVD, and Yoga Focus VHS/DVD.

If you don't have access to a trainer or coach to teach you stretching techniques, and working out at home is not a viable option for you, then consider taking a yoga class at a local YMCA or yoga studio near you. Once you've learned the basics, you can incorporate stretching into your daily cardio and strength routine
