    yoga is boring - except for a streach warm down .... just keep excersising, you'll get more flexible .... and if your flexible where & when it counts, who cares if you can touch your toes ;)

    Okay....however I have seen some yoga positions where I've thought "now that could be fun and very useful!!" :lol:8-);) High levels of flexibility definitely does have its advantages!

    I think I put flexible and fit in the same category. I've been doing a bit of stretching to help with my flexibility. Maybe I should start doing yoga?



    as i said, they may go hand in hand.....but they are not mutually exclusive. i am quite unfit at the moment, and yet....amazingly flexible. it's just how i am. no matter how fit my husband was/is, he is not very physically flexible, never was...probably never will be. yoga definitely would help, so would simple stretches and all if it is a goal of yours.


    good luck!

    Didn't get too much of a real work out in Chicago, unless you call 12 hours x 2 days of Pearl Jam pre-parties, concerts, and after parties working out! But we did swim in Lake Michigan! Brrrr....... it was so cold! We didn't take our wetsuits but we got in 1/2 mile at the Ohio Street Beach. I guess people there are used to it as there were lots of people swimming. Back home, but finding it hard to get back to the routine. We were supposed to bike this evening, but neither hubby nor I weren't motivated enough.

    Yesterday a 1.5 mile hike witht he dogs followed by a 54.54 mile bike. Today a 2.25 mile hike with the dogs followed by a 16 mile bike. I hope I have a chance to swim this afternoon, but I doubt if that will happen. Eventually a house has to be cleaned and groceries bought.

    20 minute stretch/workout including 30 sit ups, 30 push ups, 30 leg rolls, 20 squats, 10 lunges each leg, 25 straight leg raises (each), 25 toe out leg raises (each)....and other things like holding plank position etc.

    My thighs aren't anywhere near as sore but my lunges aren't going down as far as the ones last week which killed me.

    I had sore calves all weekend and today -- from jogging perhaps?

    More walking/jogging to come this afternoon after work.

    I really enjoyed my 10 minute online yoga session last night at 11 o'clock. Looks so easy but was really hard. Going to do some more tonight....I found it really relaxing.
