I woke up at 4:15 today because I was afraid I would miss my alarm at 5 (so eager to work out it seems!)... and because Parrish stole all the covers & I was cold, but he'll deny that until the day he dies =)
I decided to try yoga today because the treadmill really sucks my will to live. More often then not I find myself staring at the little screen that has the time and mileage on it rather than focus on getting a good walk/run in. As an alternative, Parrish - being the kick-ass husband that he is (despite his cover stealing tendencies) - downloaded the "Basic Yoga for Dummies" workout for me so I thought I would give it a try.
While never discounting yoga as a true way to work out, I always thought "it's just stretching, how hard can it be, right?". WOW it kicked my butt this morning. The tree pose showed me that I have no balance whatsoever and I'm a little pissed at the nice lady on the tape because apparently I can't breathe through my nose either. Right now I don't have a yoga mat so I unfortunately noticed that my carpet needs a good deep cleaning. lol On the whole it was a lot of fun and I definitely plan on doing this again. Maybe I can get through all 12 poses one day.
Hopefully the weather will warm up a little tomorrow so I can get outside for a little walk/jog.

Dude, yoga is HARD, especially if you're doing it right, and not cheating your butt off like my husband does. I think it's a lot easier to do if you have an instructor the first few times to correct your poses and stuff. It's kind of hard to figure out exactly what everything is supposed to look like. Hey, Victoria used to be a yoga instructor. You could ask her. :)
ReplyDeleteOK, first of all I did not steal the covers. Second, I didn't steal the covers.
