Experts say practicing yoga may not be adequate exercise for cardiovascular health.
The guy who coined the term "aerobics" is attacking the downward dog, saying most yoga classes do not provide enough exertion to keep the heart healthy, and that 30 minutes of cardio, three times a week, should be added to your routine, reports the Wall Street Journal.
It's hard enough as a Mom to find the time and energy to get any "workout" into our day. We say that if you make the time to do an hour of yoga, you're way ahead of the Mom whose heart rate is only elevated during those McDreamy scenes on Grey's Anatomy or when she reads the sex quiz in Cosmo.
Do you make the time to exercise? What's your favorite physical activity? Comment below.

This just in: Naps apparently give you more energy than coffee. We don't know whether to be annoyed by this report, or just amused.
The study tested the hit of java vs a 20-minute nap and 90-extra minutes of sleep in the morning. It says the nap gets the best results.
Memo to the Study Analysts: DON'T YOU THINK IF WE COULD FIND A FREAKIN' MINUTE FOR A NAP WE WOULD TAKE ONE?! (Oh, sorry—we're just tired.)
