what is the best way to get in shape over winter break (3 weeks)?
i have had an insane semester… and body fat % is up and muscle tone is down…posture is bad… i looked so good before i came here. anyway, i have 3-5 weeks of freedom (2 weeks of partial freedom) and i signed up for personal 6 pilates classes (i used to do it) but they are expensive. i dont have gym membership @ my parents but they have a treadmill… not sure what else to do… plus i miss the food from my home area so i dont want to go on a big time diet… maybe just need to lose 5 lbs or so… but mostly tone and improve posture. any thoughts?
oh – pilates doesn’t really build muscle that much… so that’s where i’m concerned… maybe if i just combined pilates with the treadmill, i’d be ok but i want to regain some muscle
What is the correct standing posture for yoga/meditation?
I am trying to get my standing posture correct for yogs/meditation. How do you stand to get the proud holding of lifting your adbomen over your pelvis? Do I tuck my butt in and pell my navel to my spine? Or, is it more analogous to how a pregnant woman walks with her belly first or to how a model stands? Also , when sitting cross-legged, do I sit up straight and relax or sit up straight and rigid?

Good yoga DVDs?
My voice coach encourages learning yoga to help with loosening up and posture. Does anyone know of a good DVD (that I could, like, buy on Amazon) that I could do at home?
