Should I do a Cardio workout at the gym before going to a Yoga class?

Question: My gym offers yoga classes, I have never been to one and want to start going, but I also want to get a cardio workout. It's a 60 minute yoga class at 24 hour fitness, will it give me any cardio workout or should I workout on the tredmill before the yoga class? Thank you

Answer: Actually, that's not a bad idea. Yoga is usually no cardio. It can be fat burning if you are in the right class. You do have to know your stamina... it's a great stretch after an intense run but it is not easy, make no mistake about that! Your best bet for the 1st time would be an easy run and a beginning yoga class... because it is just the worst when your muscles shake under you, involuntarily! This way you can gauge how YOUR body responds to this combination. and also you should give yourself at least 10 min at rest between workouts. but i'm sure you knew that. I wish you luck :)
