OUCH! that's got to hurt!
that isn't you is it?
Where did you find that pic? That is not normal.
No, Jel, that is NOT me! LOL! My limbs all go in the same direction no matter what they're told. :-)
I'm shocked there are not more Yoga/Pilate/Stretchers out there! Those of you who have been doing this for awhile could most likely respond with your toes on the keyboard. :-)
For those who know Yoga, do you not LOVE the child's pose and puppy pose? My two faves!!! Course, I only know about six poses, so there you are.
the yoga I know, is the Bear with the picnic basket, and the old baseball player! :)

I just recently started Pilates and I was pleasantly surprised at the exercise it did offer. It was an hour of stretching, and it felt GREAT. I am just having difficulty figuring out how I am supposed to inhale move this part of my body, and then in exhaling move another part. I need to be taught how to breathe :)
Like you I also want to add in cardio.
I've done Pilates. I think I still prefer rock climbing :)
I walk with my Sketchers or MBT shoes, which also exercise all kinds of places in my body without my knowing it. Plus the scenery is nice. But I'm so proud of you, Diann! I think it's safer for you to do yoga than walk with the Sketchers if you struggle with your balance. I've noticed that if I wear the shoes to church I can't close my eyes when I pray or I'll fall.
I hate exercise with a passion that defines passion. I avoid it at any and all costs. I had chemo as an excuse for a while, now I'm rocking the neuropathy for all it's worth ;) Though I can sympathize with the balance thing, Diann - another result of the neuropathy. My neurologist wants me to practice walking heel to to and to get one of those giant rubber balls to sit and rock on, trying not to fall down.
Sounds too much like exercise to me. Still haven't done it!
Haha, you hooked me with your opening line. Love your posts. They're always guaranteed to make me giggle. I have Denise Austin's pilates DVD with the serene music and soothing tones. My body screams with each pose as I work to strengthen my core. Sigh. My exercise of choice? Knitting, of course. :D
Okay, when I can catch my breath from laughing at the visual you gave, I'll answer your question.
Okay .. I'm ready now. I've been going to Curves for 7 years. Yep - 7 long years. The hubs can't believe it. I hate exercise and will do anything to avoid it. But Curves combines all the necessary thing for me - stretching, cardio and muscle building ... well, in my case it's flab toning.
But the best part is social. I've made so many friends! So instead of feeling like a workout (although my body is sweaty and my lungs hollering whenI'm done) it feels more like a party!
One of the gals has become my beta reader and a brainstorm partner, too. You can't ask for a better deal that that!
Having been a P.E. teacher, I've tried it all, I think. (Now, I'm on a "break" after the exercise ball nearly knocked me out.) I actually liked yoga but then some guy had ruin it all by having us do "power yoga." It took all the peace and gentleness out of it, believe me.
I loved the child's pose best and can we just leave it at that?
Does your instructor model after Praise Moves? There was a DVD of that I got as a reviewer and I can't think of her name. I think eventually you might like this, Diann. Maybe you'll inspire me to return to...something.
Oooo, I like the sounds of the Praise Moves DVD, Crystal! Thanks for telling me about that! I'm going to check into it right now.
Love hearing about all your exercising options. I have to confess, Lisa, that my favorite exercise of choice is knitting, too! :-)
