But for the last 10 or so years, her body has been absolutely amazing. The only reason I stomached the 20 minutes or so of that horrendous movie where she's shipwrecked with that Italian dude was to see her in a bathing suit.
On your other point -- yoga is totally transforming -- and not the namby-pamby exercise those who don't do it like to think it is. Not the meditative crapola -- that may be nice, but it's not going to shrink your ass. I know someone who didn't lose a pound, but went down two sizes from doing ONLY yoga -- no diet change, no other exercise.
For a while, I was totally "in the zone" and doing it several times a week, but, alas, I seem to have lost time somewhere, and can't do it as frequently as I used to. If I ever do get the nerve to quit this racket, I'm going to become a yoga instructor. (When I'm not copy-editing brilliant novels, that is.)

The fact that you would use the term "in the zone" and dismiss the meditative part of the yoga conveys your lack of respect and appreciation for it. You could never be a good yoga teacher. You would be one of those 'its a workout" people who totally disregarded the holistic aspect of it. As my yogi says "the poses are just eastern calisthenics",. When the eastern calisthenics click with the breathing and the inner workings,, then you might understand it. Until then, you are just another neurotic New Yorker trying to eat their white flour bagel and lose it to, on the "American Life" trend machine.
Namaste
