Yoga is acually hard

This morning I had it all planned out I was going to wake up and do some yoga. I rolled out the no longer dusty yoga mat and as I started I really started to sweat. The woman in the video wasn't even breaking a sweat and there I was with shaking arms and legs trying to get in the poses. I fell on my face a few times doing the stretches. But doing the stretches really woke me up and it was quick if not easy. Here is the video I used if you want to follow along and really wake up in the mornings.

YOGA!!!!

Yes the title you saw was right I am actually going to do yoga tonight and tell you all about my experience with it!

No yoga mats but Home Improvement

I really expected to do yoga yesterday I even had my yoga pants on that is until my mom dragged me to the home improvement store to get some new floor boards for my room. I decided to include working to lay down  my floor in this blog because I believe it should be counted as exercise. Lifting furniture out of the way is much more heavy then the little 10 pound weights I usually lift.

Dusty Yoga mats

Yesterday I didn't do any exercise (gasp). So I guess I had more excuses. This one being I was too busy shopping with my mom, so I blame her. I literally shopped the day away and when I got home it was 6 and I was tired so of course nothing was done. Today I'm going to take that dusty yoga mat out and do the yoga I was supposed to do yesterday.

It's all in the baby steps

I knew going into this that I wouldn't suddenly sprout muscles and be fit but I have noticed that I'm not quite as tired as I used to be when running to the bus in the mornings. That my friends is progress. It might be slow progress but progress none the less.

Monday exercise

I have learned two important things from belly dancing first of all I can't move my hips well enough and second of all wow when you do this exercise you really feel it in your abs. I don't think I'll continue doing it  because I just can't follow along with the movements in the video, tonight I'll try Pilates since that is what my mom does all the time and she swears by it.

Sorry for the wait

Even though the whole point of this blog is to stop writing excuses  I had to babysit my little brother for the weekend so I didn't have time to post until now. That's not to say I didn't exercise, watching over little children is alot of work. I played tag and hide and seek with him which of course involved the usual running which I'm just going to count as a cardio workout. I also did some jumping jacks if that counts for anything. I think its time for a change in exercise so today I'm going to do some belly dancing from this video I have and see how that works out.
