Apparently, I don't like yoga

[switch842]

At least today, I don't. LOL Tried one of the yoga workouts on demand and man, it was just awful. It may be due to the fact that between every little circuit, she went back to this down dog -- plank -- cobra -- up dog thing. It was basically a gajillion push ups. And I don't do push ups. So I stopped that one early and tried one of the dance workouts. That was even worse. LOL So I went back to one of the Jillian Michaels workouts and started in on that. All was going well and then the little guy woke up and needed to eat. So, I worked out for about half an hour today, even though it wasn't a full workout of one type.

I also enlisted my mom to help keep me in line. I asked her to call me every afternoon to ask if I've worked out. Because I know this is something I could very easily just be like "I don't wanna" one day. So, hopefully that will help, too.

I took a yoga class my first semester at EMU, and man; it was a workout! The down-dog motion is one of the worst, but my teacher had us doing some ridiculous intermediate stuff by the end of the semester. lol

LOL! Ah, yes, the sun salutation. It's not for some people, but having been awful at it to begin with I found it worth persisting for a while. Then again, there are so many options out there, there's bound to be something that does it for you!

I may go back to it. I do like the general idea behind yoga.

And i think it might be time to pop the New York Ballet Workout DVDs back in. Those things kick your butt so hard, I have not yet made it through the whole thing. LOL

That may have been another part of the problem - I had no idea what she was talking about! It was supposed to be a beginner one, but she was just rattling off the names, and in some of the positions, I couldn't see what she was doing, so I had to get out of it, look at the TV to see what she was doing and then try to get back into it. Oy.
