and while i don't do either.. maybe andy e would like to know that some 70% of olympians do yoga as a daily warm up.. i dated a yoga instructor several years ago and she was by no means weak, i never had to open a jar for her lolHey there,
I would also recommend taking some classes before using dvds at home, especially for yoga. That way you can have an instructor guide and correct you when necessary to help your develop your practice and prevent injury.
Both pilates and yoga are great for core work, building up muscle and strength. Yoga is more what I am familiar with, it will also help develop your flexibility and balance. It is also great for a mental workout, learning calming breathing techniques and how to quieten the mind.
I have to say, yoga is a great compliment to any activity and there are numerous athletes how practice yoga to increase their performance, take a look at our ambassadors http://www.lululemon.com/community/ambassadors
There are many centers who are know offering complimentary yoga, so take a look in your local area. If you have a lululemon athletica store near you, we also offer complimentary yoga every week.
Good luck with your new endeavor, hope this helped
