"Stretch and Tone"
is it one of those places full of plump mothers barely breaking sweat with a latte in one hand chatting about their daily dramas.
Nope, more like calisthenics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calisthenics
I found standard yoga a bit boring (like if I'm putting aside an hour for 'exercise' I want to be a sweaty mess by the end of it). Stretch and tone gets the heart rate up loads more, and even though I haven't been to a class in over 6 months, I've managed to maintain the flexibility. I don't think I was this flexible as a 7 year old.... if only I could get my hands on one of those box/ruler combos that measure how far past your toes your fingers go.
