Yoga

If you have never been to a yoga or pilates class I would recommend going to both. Don't just go once and decide you don't like it, make sure you try them both at least twice. I say this because you need to try them both out with different teachers/instructors. My first time to pilates I loved it and then i went back and it was a different teacher and it wasn't very good. So make sure you try out different styles. Yoga can change your life in more ways than just physically. One great thing I learned from yoga is how inflexible I really am. I had no idea that the muscles in my right leg were so much tighter than the ones in my left. And, after analyzing every movement possible, I have come to the conclusion that the tightness of the muscles in my right leg are a huge reason for the problems in my right knee. I might be able to save myself a lot of money from not having knee surgery if I continue to stretch my right leg muscles more. So, you could say that going to yoga class saved me from knee surgery. I might just go get some yoga pants and continue doing yoga.

Some foods to stay away from

I was just reading on Yahoo's home page and there was a link for some of the worst foods you can buy. I thought it was interesting so im going to put some of them here.

Worst Candy Bar = Twix!
There are 11 grams of SATURATED fat!!!! That's horrible! I wouldn't recommend eating 11 grams of saturated fat all day. That's as much saturated fat as 11 strips of bacon. So don't use Twix as a stocking stuffer.

Worst Cereal = Quaker 100% Natural Granola, Oats, Honey & Raisins
This cereal has 420 calories and 30 grams of sugar.... not good for you.
