I was looking for a way to mix up my workouts this week, so I decided to throw in some Yoga. It's really not my favorite type of workout. I will never look like Madonna and I have yet to master many of the more challenging poses, but I felt like I needed a little change. It turned out to be a good choice. I felt more relaxed and less stressed throughout the day. I completed a pretty challenging lower body workout earlier in the week, and I felt that doing yoga helped my muscles stretch and recover. Cali even joined me for the last part, and she thought it was fun and funny. So I think I'm going to try to practice some yoga a few times a week. I think Cali and I will do it during Carter's nap time. It will give us a chance to regroup, and by us I mean....me.

i was just saying to chris last night that i really need to get back into the yoga gym. yoga is the only type of exercise i like. i wish i could find a dvd that i like. do you have a recommendation?
Go sister! And tough girl is one tough girl!
I tried yoga once. It gave me a wicked headache so I've never cracked open that DVD again. I'm glad it worked for you, relaxation is great! I bet Cali will make quite the fancy yoganese girl.
I don't think I'm flexible enough for yoga although I would like to be. Maybe over time?
Thanks Cam! Yoga is great. Just the thing to add to a cardio and weight training regime. Finding quiet time to do yoga is the problem for me. But I will have to pencil in time this week for it. By the way, I am looking for a new exercise DVD to do at home for a change up in routine. Do you love Turbo Jam? Anyone else try anything they love? I have Tae Bo and The Firm already. I want something different.
