Yoga For Indie Rockers and Pilates For Indie Rockers are a new series of fitness DVDs, aimed at the indie rock market. They cover all the the basics of yoga and pilates, just like any other good fitness video, but the awesome thing is you can choose which music you work out to.
The audio / language tracks have been cleverly adjusted so that you can work out to one of three preloaded soundtracks or you can choose to work out to your own music. The DVD is designed to cater for all levels of yoga or pilate expertise by having four different indie rockers, of varying skill, following the workout at the same time - Chaos (Instructer), Karri (Beginner) Kris (Intermediate) and Paige (Expert). Simply watch the indie rocker you can keep up with the most.
How To Enter:
We've got copies of both to give away. So, to be in with a chance of winning, tell us what your perfect work out track would be!
Answers below and remember to state which DVD (yoga or pilates) you want.

Hmmm, my perfect workout track? "Today For You, Tomorrow For Me" from Rent. Goodness knows, just the image of what Angel does on stage makes me GREEN with envy and wanting to work out hard enough to do the same!!!
I want to do back-flips in 6" vinyl heels! Besides, every Indie girl needs a bit of Bohemian rock in her life!”
It starts off slow so you can begin at your own pace and warm up before...
...boom! The other instruments kick in and the beat has you gripped. This is when you enter full on whirling dirvish mode and if you've ever seen them live then you can use the memory of their crazy whirling to spur you on to ever greater moves.
This song really undulates and changes between frantic parts and slower, gradual climbs so is perfect for getting your heart rate up whilst giving you time to cool off. No one wants a cardiac arrest now do they!
At the end of this song Karen O sort of laughs and to be honest we all need to be able to laugh at ourselves after working out. I know I look like I've been dragged through a wet headge backwards so a laugh does wonders and makes sure you feel mentally fit too
![Happy](https://images.coplusk.net/emoticons/happy.gif)
And finally I'd pick this song as it reminds me of my partner and the many ways he can help to keep me fit as well. After all, not all exercise has to be a chore!
(if you liked reading my snippet, I'd love the yoga DVD if I win).”

(if you liked reading my snippet, I'd love the yoga DVD if I win).”
It starts off quite slow, so it gives you chance to warm up and get into the song and the movement before...
...boom! it steps up a gear and you're ready to enter the full on whirling dirvish stage of head throwing, limb flailing, hip shaking! Also if you've ever seen them live you can use their crazy dancing and whirling to inspire you to ever greater and more active moves.
Just after the first chorus it slows and undulates, which means depending on how unfit you're feeling you can either just walk along or really work yourself up into a lather.
It has a great part at the end where Karen O kinda laughs and to be honest, we all need to laugh at ourselves once we've been working out cause although you feel great you look like you've been dragged through a wet hedge backwards. I do anyway.
This song just grips you and so working out to it would feel like no work out at all.
And finally I'd choose this song cause it reminds me of my boyfriend and the myriad of ways he can help to keep me in shape ;) not all exercise is a chore!
(if you enjoyed reading my little bit then I'd love the yoga DVD if I win).”

I actually listen to metal when I work out!
Some of my favorite tracks are:
Killswitch Engage - The Rose of Sharyn
Flyleaf - I'm So Sick
Passenger - Carnival Diaries
In Flames - Pinball Map
