Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I have been taking alot of weight off since going well 99% Raw (as I still have a coffee and occasional tea). I have also lost alot of inches, more inches than pounds actually. I have ALOT of tonning up to do! I have not been back to me pre-preganancy size in 5 yrs after child #5. Way too long!! What is the best exercise to tone up as I take off? I do alot of physical work outside, as in mowing the lawn, cleaning out the chicken coop , tending and weeding the garden, and in a few weeks time I will begin tennis lessons with my girls (only one hour a week). As far as other exercise what is best for toning? Pilates? Aerobics? biily's boot camp?

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I've noticed that lots of raw foodies are into yoga, maybe because the mental approach of both complement each other nicely. I personally love astanga yoga, which is quite hard work but really rewarding (and the type of yoga that will give best results in terms of toning up). This is a nice inspiring story (with dramatic before and after photos if you like that sort of thing!) of a young woman who lost 150lbs through raw food and astanga: http://www.shazzie.com/raw/transformation/jaime.shtml It's also a good idea to do something cardio-vascular - running, brisk walking, cycling, swimming, etc. Running is particularly effective, and will really improve your fitness, but take it very slow at first (i.e. 10-20 mins with lots of walk breaks) so you never get uncomfortable and gently build up. Once you get into it, exercise will make you feel so wonderful you'll wonder how you got on without it! --- sharie lush <sdslush wrote: > I have been taking alot of weight off since going > well 99% Raw (as I still > have a coffee and occasional tea). > I have also lost alot of inches, more inches than > pounds actually. > I have ALOT of tonning up to do!
