New respect for yoga and those who can do it 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago Karma: 0  
Wow. I'm on day 4, nice and sore, and just did my first sorry attempt at yoga. I really never thought from seeing other's do a bit of yoga that it was all that difficult, other than the need to be limber. Well, I have to admit I was wrong. This is really hard. Nothing I've done in the last few years could have prepared me for this. I'll keep at it though. I don't expect to accomplish miracles right away. My short term goal is to be able to go smoothly from "downward dog" to "runners pose", lol. So far my foot doesn't want to get off the floor. My long term goal for yoga (I have to keep telling myself this) is I could possible get the flexability to have a John Daly/Fred Couples type golf swing. ( You golfers out there will know what I mean). I'm enjoying this. I look forward to coming home every day and starting my workout. I also realize that doing this once isn't going to be enough for me. I'll have to do it 2 or 3 times before I get to where I want to be. But, whats an extra 180 days on top of the 90? Not a heck of a lot in the grand scheme of things. I have to say that so far, my favorite is the "shoulders and arms" workout. At least those are exercises I can identify with. I'm looking forward to trying the Kenpo. Felt great this morning, getting up and having a nice ache to the muscles. Now I'll just have to wait and see if I can still move tomorrow, or if the yoga crippled me. Can't picture myself calling my boss and telling him I can't come to work because of a yoga injury.

The fact that this program has both Yoga and Kenpo was part of what drew me to it. Getting all ripped and buff is great and all, but I've always really admired people who are able to do things just with their bodies, like gymnists, acrobats, etc. There's no doubt that Yoga is really tough, especially when you're just starting out! I remember the first few times I did it I could barely hold downward dog for very long without having to take a break. But now it's no sweat--and my heels are almost touching the ground now too!

It's definately worth doing. The hardest part is learning all the new moves. Well, actually the hardest part is DOING all the new moves, lol.I find that the smallest improvement is motivation for me to keep going. Every week it should get a little easier.

Hey man , I'm right behind you, I'm on day 4, I am going to do yoga later.

I'm working through my sore muscles lol, but I am going to start jui jitsu classes today! Every one is going to throw me around, while I cry!! Dam you TONY!!! lol


I spent hundreds now on P90x Not because I think P90x will change my bosy in 90 days (it might!) I hope it does, but because it really is a great work out. I love the way I feel! I'll keep my eye on your post, I can't wait to see if your going through what I'm going through!

Wow,No1up, you'll probably be in a lot of pain tomorrow lol. Yoga is tough, then jui jitsu? I wish you luck I just finished the Back and Legs. I'm beat. I made it all the way through, but packed it in when he started the "downward dog" in the last 2 minutes. (the cool down part). I didn't thing this dog would be able to get back up again. Oh well, it was a blast. I'm having a great time doing this. Hopefully I'll always be this motivated and can reach my goals.
