Tried Yoga tonight

I am three and a half years out of RNY.  I have lost about 170 pounds and I have been working out at the gym religiously for three years now.  A few hours a day, three days a week. I thought I was in shape. 

Hahahaha, Let me tell you after my first hour long Yoga class I realize just how OUT OF SHAPE I still am.  I hurt already!  I don't know If I will be able to move tomorrow...  But I will do it again.  I am not afraid of pain and I know I will be able to tone up more with the Yoga.  After I get this class down I will move on to the Pilates.  


Happy New Year to you all.

You go girl...anyone that think yoga is easy...hasn't done it!!!.
Good For you!!!
Pilate's are a  touchier!!

Thanks Joy.  Yeah, Pilate's are much harder, I figure it will be a while before I am ready for them.  But that is ok, as long as I keep moving forward and the weight stays off, I am good.

You are sooooo close to your goal now I am sure you can taste it!!! And it has to taste better than a cookie!!. The thing I have liked about yoga is you know when you are doing it well and it shows right were it is working the best..
Usually my Butt right were I want some muscle! I don't want a flat ass! LOL.
Have a great day.

It's deceptively hard, isn't it????  I used to do yoga pre-WLS and found it really relaxing to stretch out all my muscles.

I was just reading last night about how yoga and pilates conditions your breathing to become a better runner and increase the oxygen going to your blood while running.  I might try it again just for that....

Hey girl
I sent you an email on gmail.....

Hi Jean,

How are you doing?  You look fantastic!  I will check my email.

Happy New Year
Laura

Hi Monica,

You look soooo good. 

I still need to work on the breathing part but I can see how it can help a runner with their breathing.  I would love to do another marathon like the 4th of July one in HB again. One of my goals for next year. 

Take care
Laura
