Brisk, when I was younger, I enjoyed aerobics very much - the jumping, dancing and the sweating! It was really good exercise and help me to de-stress (release tensions). However, when I got older, jumping around isn't good anymore. So I went into yoga, like you mentioned, it's relaxing and relieves stress as well. However I can't stand the slow moves, and the meditation, when I was supposed to empty my mind and focus on nothing - I was simply too restless!

It happened with me in the beginning,I could hardly concentrate and so meditation.I don't have enough patience and I also get restless among all those people who came there to learn.Now,I had slowly improved myself.I practice mostly at home.I read good yoga books as well as look into internet.

both are good in their own ways. I do aerobics in the morn and yoga in the evenings. aerobics really brightens up my day,peps me up,the music makes me feel good, in the evenings yoga helps me tune into myself and wind up for the day
