Yoga Today!

I was planning on doing some yoga today, mainly in an effort to help stretch everything out after swimming yesterday.  I worked until 9pm tonight and thought I would do some right after work.  That didn't exactly happen; instead, I ended up doing yoga at 2am.  Better late than never!

Because I haven't done any yoga in a long time, I decided to just do 20 minutes of 10 Minute Solutions Yoga for Beginners.  Sure I know how to do a lot of the advanced poses in my other yoga video.  But my muscles really aren't strong enough to hold a lot of them, so I thought it would be best to start at the beginning and work my way back up to more advanced stuff.  I really want to avoid hurting myself in any way, so starting slowly and working my way up to more advanced things is really for the best.  With that in mind, Yoga for Beginners was a great place to start.  Today I did the Yoga for Strength and Toning segment (which was honestly mostly sun salutations) and the Yoga for Balance and Flexibility. 

My mom has asked me to do some sort of workout dvd with her every Sunday.  We haven't started doing that yet because I was super busy this past Sunday.  And I've asked her if we can postpone it another week because I have some other plans for this Sunday.  So hopefully if I can do this video a few more times before then (or something else), coupled with a few more swimming afternoons, I'll have built up enough strength to tackle whatever video we decide to do on the 8th, which should be our first exercise dvd afternoon.
