As part of my getting rid of diabetes plan (hopefully) I have started swimming today and managed an hour, a friend has asked me to join her for yoga and I cant decide whether to swim once a week and do yoga once a week or swim twice a week, a consideration is that yoga costs twice as much per session as swimming – Anyone have any views on this ?

I personally find yoga boring but i try doing it with a home video, much cheaper. swimming is a much more effective all over body exercise and burns lots of calories. I love to swim and do it every day in summer (I have a pool) in winter I go to the local baths twice a week

Hi Benns
I was wondering what you decided to do in the end and how you are getting on with it? I would do both swimming and yoga as both offer different benefits. I also find Yoga helps me in ways other than just physical leaving me feeling less stressed, more balanced and less likely to overeat for comfort.

We are all different though

Hi there, according to me yoga really helps to reduce weight.
