Steve's right on the money. While Yoga is a great thing to have in a well rounded workout plan, resistance/weight training is so very important.

In addition, working with weights is not going to cause this young lady to get bulky simply because her body is not capable of producing the testosterone necessary to do so.

This conversation seems to be getting badly off track as I think Steve has me down as a spammer - I totally agree that resistance and weight training are important. The question was about different kinds of exercise and I have found yoga to be very powerful. I never suggested NOT doing the others - simply trying to make a contribution based on my experiences and observations.

Off track? How so?

Do I think you are a spammer? Sure. You came here to promote your website and make money. Sure, you can spout off about your good intentions all you want... but that does nothing for the fact that this forum sees anyone who isn't an established member who is promoting a website as spam.

That's that.

To boot, who cares what I think?

Let's not pull out the appeal to emotion just b/c you can't back up your clams.

The original poster stated these key points:

- needs to lose the last 5 lbs
- asked what am I doing wrong
- and mentioned her exercise which did not include weight training

What I took issue with was your reply and your claims, which, unfortunately it seems I have to remind you of...

Quote:
On the exercise front - what about yoga? If you are looking for that "lean" look then I have found that the stretching you do in yoga makes all the difference.
Show me how stretching gives you that 'lean look."

Quote:
Heavy lifting can tend to build muscle mass, but I got the impression you wanted slim & toned, not Schwarzenegger
There's such a thing as context, ya know. Here we have a dieting female... chances of her putting significant muscle on is slim to none. Yet, here you are making these kind of remarks which, IME, is guiding her away from what she's trying to achieve.

Quote:
If you work weights, then you tend to build bulkier muscle over a shorter range of motion.
Homey say wha?

Quote:
But I still say that stretching exercises tend to develop a leaner look than power exercises
You have got to be kidding me.

***

Couple your advice and lack of further explanation with the fact that you came here primarily to promote your site and you're left with the reaction you see here.
