yoga schedule AND ROUTINE BY BNR

This is a very general outline. Please adjust to your individual needs, goals and time constraints.  

WEEKLY SCHEDULE FOR ACTIVE PEOPLE:

(If you have an active job or you walk 1.5-2 + miles a day you fall in this group)
1.Monday -Moderate to Strong Vinyasa or Power or Impact Yoga   20- 40 mins
click the link below for the information 

2.Tuesday - HIIT OR HIIT YOGA ~10-20 mins
click the link below for the information 


3.Wednesday - Light Vinyasa 30 minutes
click the link below for the information 

4.Thursday - Strong Interval yoga 10-30 minutes
click the link below for the information 

5.Friday - Rest 

6.Saturday - Either a hike or a deep Vinyasa 40-50 mins
click the link below for the information 

7.Sunday - Rest/ Hike/meditation

You can move the days around to fit the routines within your schedule, add more rest days if you feel tired, sore, or exhausted. 
Over working out is just as bad as being a couch potato. Exhaustion can tax the immune system, it can lead to injuries and hault your overall long term progress. 

If you feel tired either take a rest day or do something light that feels PLEASANT. 

Rest as much as you need to during the classes. It takes time to build strength, endurance and cardiovascular capacity. 

IF YOUR OBJECTIVE IS TO INCREASE YOUR FLEXIBILITY REPLACE ONE OF THE HIIT OR HIIT YOGA ROUTINES WITH ANOTHER DEEP VINYASA CLASS. 
DO NOT WORK ON DEEP FLEXIBILITY EVERY DAY. Allow for rest days. 

WEEKLY SCHEDULE for PEOPLE WITH AN INACTIVE LIFESTYLE:
(If you have a sedentary job, and you are not able to walk, move through the day you fit in this category) 

MONDAY WEDNESDAY FRIDAY  POWER OR VINYASA YOGA - 50mins -65mins long
TUESDAY  (THURSDAYSATURDAY HIIT or HIIT Yoga 10-40 mins depending on energy level
Take Sunday AND/OR Thursday off or do some light yoga on these days. 
Listen to your body!!!!!

Also be mindful that overtraining can overstimulate your appetite. If you are trying to lose weight you don't need to overtrain. Train smart, train enough so that you are building muscle and flexibility, go for walks and include plenty of raw and steamed veggies and raw fruits into your diet! 

My personal practice is a lot shorter than you might think. I focus on effective moves and functional exercises. I make sure to be kind and gentle to my body rather than beat myself down. I find that this kindness-to-oneself approach to be much more effective in achieving my fitness goals than a bootcamp approach that leaves me exhausted and shaky. 

I don't believe in screaming ... period. In fitness, in yoga, in bootcamp. I don't yell at my dog or friends why would I want to yell or be yelled at when I am trying to nourish my body with conscious movement.  The purpose of my yoga and teaching is to learn and teach kindness and acceptance of oneself so that we can spread it out into the world. (Confession - I would actually never attend a class in which the instructor screams and yells at the students)

Everything we do should come from a pure place of connectivity rather than a desire to punish ourselves (which dieting and fitness can turn into)
If we do things out of guilt then we just perpetuate that behavior and we are doomed to fail long term. I want everyone to succeed long term and find a place of harmony and balance within themselves and their body!!!
So lets be kind to ourselves  and get ULTRA FIT too :)

LOVE AND BLESSINGS 
BNR

What is the difference between "Transform" and "Build Muscle" ?

"Transform" can include any way someone has changed their body composition - Fat loss, adding a large amount of lean muscle mass etc - basically anything that makes one look better. In this case, it refers to someone who wishes to both lose fat and gain muscle. Building muscle is, quite simply, building muscle/ size. It may or may not be associated with getting leaner and fitter. Hope that helps.

Transform. It's self explanatory. Say an obese person wants to change and he or she choses those programs and they go from this to that. Obese to ripped, skinny to big, fat to lean etc.

Transform : loose primarily fat and built a bit of muscle at the same time
Built muscle : built muscle and getting bigger and not much focused on body fat or getting ripped

Transform means completely changing your body from bad to great, while build muscle means building more muscle hence the name.

Transform just means to change (lose, gain, change physique), and "build muscle" is just more specific.

Is it better to have or fruit or an oatmeal before a workout and what carb would be better post work out?

I know Dr. Jim Stoppani recommends a bananan for pre work out carbs, so I would assume a fruit similar to a banana would work well. I personally like bananas because of the added potassium.

Post work out most carb supplements have a combination of fast and slow carbs so either grab a carb supplement (waxybolic is great stuff) or a few pixie sticks (recommended by Dr. Stoppani as well) and a banana or two.

Hope this helps

I like to eat oatmeal 20-30 mins pre-workout. A piece of fruit will be a good sugar boost right before (5mins) working out. It might not work for everyone, but I used to smash a bite size Snicker right before lifting.

Eat a mix a simple and complex carbs post-work out, but be sure to lean more toward simple (fast digesting) carbs while your anabolic window is open. (Up to about half an hour right after lifting). Don't forget protein and BCAAs...

I am just 50 and was having problems losing the last 10 lbs. I did some research and discovered Intermittent Fasting! Wow what a difference it has made. The weight took a month to come off and over the holidays there were readjustments of same but the working out in a fasted state had me concerned, all for nothing it turns out. I was STRONGER in a fasted state than in a fed state as I wasn't digesting when I went to lift! As well I discovered that intake of sugar 2 hours before or 2 hours after a work out short-circuits your body's use of the hormone's it generate. IE insulin HGH and another one I can't remember right now so you see less progress than if you avoid sugar for the hours mentioned. Try it and see it is amazing!

Whole food is the way to go. I like having a carb heavy meal about 90 minutes before I lift, then I supplement either glycofuse or Karbolyn 30 minutes (i mix it in with my prelift). That usually boosts my carbs up to where I won't fatigue to horribly.

you never eat sugar before you lift that's one thing you DON't do. sugar causes an insulin spike, insulin levels are high it gets in the bodies way to break down fat, aka lipolysis. and if you eat something heavy like oatmeal, imagine this, your stomach needs blood to process the food correct, so then that leaves that much LESS for your muscles to receive blood. im in graduate school for physical therapy and have done my own research for many years, hope this helps.

I'd go for any slow digesting carb an hour before workouts like oats, brown rice or sweet potatoes , post workout is protein isolate with dextrose

Dextrose: postworkout. Supercheap.

I eat oatmeal in the morning. Not that cheap stuff. I go to Costco and get Coach's Steel-Cut Oatmeal in the gigantic bag for 6 bucks. The taste is and texture is totally different than what you find elsewhere. In the morning I have Coach's Oatmeal, add a blended protein shake, and put frozen blueberries or frozen cherries to the oatmeal.

Sugar in the morning. Sugar postworkout. Ideal sugar for postworkout would be dextrose.

No other time should you get sugar. Makes you fat.

Can anybody recommend a program that would best suit the needs of somebody with the overall aim of increasing strength?

You need to look for yourself, there are different type of strength training programs on the site. Just view the "Find a Plan" tab or "Workouts" tab.

Mike O'Hearn's power bodybuilding is great for strength and size. Just make sure you adjust the weights you use on the power moves as you get stronger.
