Burning fat is only part of the solution there are three basic types of "strength" that your body needs to be strong

*cardio-pulmonary strength for breathing, good heart/lungs, good for endurance

*muscle strength - can you pick stuff up? can you take a blow, etc?

third and most overlooked

*flexability - it doesn't matter how "strong" or "fast" you are, if you don't have the full range of motion for any given body part, then you are at a disadvantage and this could lead to health problems later in life.

Although, you're right...these two were over-reacting

I think they just want their 15 minutes. These are the BC anti-yoga ladies of 2007, please take their picture so we can go home now.
