Netflix new series

They have put short Nike workout videos on Netflix.  I did two of the 10 min yoga videos this AM and I already feel it. 

True confessions:  I have been skipping the gym.  I get bored with the workouts and hate sitting on a bike or walking on a treadmill.  Summers are easy because there are tons of trails around here, but in winter I get lazy 

Anyway, they did not pop up for me and I would not have known about them if I had not read about them somewhere.  No equipment needed, but a yoga mat is helpful.

I love yoga; it's simple, low-impact, and great for mental health too.  I've been doing it for several years now with a course book from the American Yoga Association.  I recently started alternating with pilates, so I get a better mix of flexibility and core/strength training.  My New Year's resolution this year is to get up early enough every weekday so I can work out before breakfast, because if I don't do it first thing in the day, it just doesn't get done.

I am the same way.  If I don't get it in first thing, I don't do it.

I am kind of glad I started this at home rather than with a class.  Pretty sure it wasn't pretty.  The dog seemed kind of concerned

  Hey, I'm no yoga model either!    We have a cat who LOVES when I do yoga for some reason.  She'll come and roll around on the floor with me and play with my hair and stuff.  She's a nutcase.

I like yoga.  It is the best exercise for old people.  We have prime video so I use them.  It is hard to get on a schedule when I get called away on projects.  Warm down here so I do it in the buff.

It's true, in ancient India it was commonly practiced by older people who were in retirement to keep their bodies and minds sharp and prepare for the next life.

I had a friend who would do that.  We were practicing together one time, and he was like, "So I usually practice in the nude. . .", and I was like, "I don't care what you do, but if you want me to practice with you, you will need to stay behind that desk".  He elected to keep his underwear on.

Yoga is also for the mind.  Stay focused on what you are doing not what someone else is doing and you wouldn't notice.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure someone in the room being naked is an unfair level of distraction.   

I do love the mental health aspects of yoga though.  I discovered through yoga that I really like meditating, and now I do several forms of meditation regularly.
