DO the rest of you do yoga?

One of those things Id LIKE to do...but Id rather spend that time S/B/R

Yeah- to our unmotivated girl Kara for getting a run in

Felt good didnt it???

We have a class at the gym that incorporates ti-chi, yoga and pilates.  It's a great class to go to if you really want to stretch your body out.  I haven't taken it in a few months, but should probably do it once a week.  At some studios they crank up the heat and do a "hot yoga" and you sweat your #$%$ off... we're talking drenched.

George -

That is a TOTAL victory.  Remember that this is YOUR journey and you are making great strides!

Buddaha1964 - 2009-01-05 7:01 PM Had a great day today. Had my second sleep test, this time with the CPAP machine. While I still don'y feel like I got a good night sleep I had more energh than ever. Ran tonight when I got home from work, I can't remember tha last time I was able to exercise after work. The short run I did on Saturday I repeated tonight but I was able to go further this time before I had to will myself to get to the half mile mark. Walked back about half the way then was able to finsh up the rest running. Starting out I noticed my heart rate was 77 BPM, my last doctor's appointment my resting rate was 88-89. And I took a whole minute off my time for the run. I know this is nothing like any of your times or distances but I'll take any victory no matter how small Oh yeah thanks for everyones help and support it really helped me quite a bit. George.

That is awesome  You are going to see huge progress in a short time for a while... thatll be a huge motivator  You might then  reach a stand still for a while...no worries- we will get you thru it!

YEAH!

I do just a bit of coach prescribed yoga, mostly to stretch problem areas.

Her routine only takes 10-15 minutes.  Mostly poses that stretch the hamstring, quads, calves, piriformis, and lower back.  Seems to work better than traditional stretching and is much more relaxing.

Oh, January goals--something new and unusual for me, do all of my planned training!  I already blew it this weekend due to getting a really bad cold.

Amen to that. 

In my life before Tri-ing, I was a sea kayaker with mountain biking in the off season (still am!) - one sport tightens your hamstrings and the other requires loose, ultra-flexibility, so I've always done loads of stretching.

When I was at uni, I did a lot of weights and ended up very strong and muscley, but totally inflexible - now I'm trying to find some balance (and peace and quiet from the kids!)

I reckoned the Yoga thing would help with flexibility and quietly start some core stability training which I badly need as well! (It's only 1¹/₂ hrs a week)

You're only doing as much as you're able to with the hundredpushups thing and it's working the same (deltoid?) muscles in your shoulders as you use swimming - so it'll help... (You can probably do 100 straight off anyway, so don't pretend otherwise!!)

LOl- I can easily do the 200 sit ups but MAYBE 40 push ups..maybe

Maybe ill have to try
