i have managed to keep my abs flat after having my baby 4 years ago through a daily excercise routine. i am now bored and have turned my attentions to yoga which i think is more relaxing and less strenuous. i've heard it tones your body and i just want other peoples opinions. does it keep your abs flat? all you yoga fans out there HELP

it definatly keeps you in shape. you should do it. you have to learn to hold positions for a long periods of time. that keeps your muscles toned. there are yoga workouts designe for abs.

It may tone you very well, but it isn't a cardio-vascular (CV) workout. It is important that you don't stop your CV, not only for its most effective fat burning effects, but also to keep your heart healthy. Yoga will not make your heart work as hard as, for example, running can. So, I suggest that you do yoga but go for a run 2-3 times a week.

It does tone your body, but how much will depend on the amount of time spent doing yoga.

It will keep you in good shape all over and quite toned but don't expect the same muscle definition as say, doing sit-ups.

Yes, I think yoga helps. It is a fairly easy workout, it keeps you flexible, it calms you, and if you accept energy flows it does help your body maintain beneficial energy flows.
