It's also increased my muscle tone, 10 fold, from the blobby mass I used to be. 6 times a week, for an hour a day. If you can't find an instructor, or class you like, get a nice simple Suzanne Deason video - this is my favorite - http://www.gaiam.com/product/yoga-studio/JustJoePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02882794348703779345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972323160146179105.post-79134195261337688992010-05-03T11:20:11.724-05:002010-05-03T11:20:11.724-05:00Yoga can be fantastic for this.

A good instructor will pay close attention to your body alignment in various poses, as well as tell you to only push yourself as far as you feel comfortable.

Go with the vibrams.<br /><br />I also call bullshit on static stretching. There is more and more evidence that it is pointless at best, counterproductive at worst.
