Workout: 3o-minute yoga workout ("Joy of Yoga" with Sara Ivanhoe); 2-ish mile walk with Denali; and 20-minute upper body workout while watching last night's episode of "Teen Mom."
I need a new yoga workout. It's not that I don't like the ones I have. I do. It's just that sometimes the instructor, Sara Ivanhoe, sounds like she gets paid for being flexible - if you know what I mean. "This should feel gooood," she says. It distracts me. It makes me laugh and then I get all messed up with the "yoga is about breath" thing.
It's true, too, that have the P90X one at my house but it's 90 minutes long, and I feel like a slacker when I quit at 35 minutes. I don't like to feel like a slacker. So after winning Rustbelt Runner's CSN giveaway, I am looking to stop complaining and actually get something.
I'm currently thinking about "Yoga Conditioning for Athletes."
I'm not sure that I'm an athlete, per se, but I could use some hip stretching and whatever else he said he'll do.
I'm also on the lookout for a new yoga partner ...
But I'm not so sure I'll find that on CSN. (By the way, he was in "down dog" just moments before this was snapped.)
Hi Kimberly - I came over from SkinnyRunner. I use podcasts for most of my at-home yoga practices. You can find them on itunes and they offer a great variety for no cost. Only downside is they are audio only.
ReplyDeleteTry Baron Baptiste (the spelling might be a little off). I like his style of yoga, even though his voice can get a little too yoga-ish and annoying. :)
ReplyDeleteAwe, cute dog!
ReplyDeleteI just started doing this Yoga for Runners dvd - it is a little ghetto and looks like it was possibly filmed on someone's camcorder. But I like it!!!
