I actually didn't think I'd ever blog again? But hey! to whoever is actually reading.
This is just a pic from this morning, still in the process of trying to get some good abs! But hey! Back to exercising after WEEKS.
Due to exams and being lazy Ofcourse.
This morning I had the sudden urge to do some yoga, so I went on YouTube and found a thirty minute body toning yoga workout with the idea that it'll be a nice way to stretch out my body and calm my mind whilst getting some toning done as well.
So I set my yoga mat out, put a full bottle of water out and pressed play. The video started with some simple stretches, I mean nothing I couldn't do yknow?
And I was starting to think "Hey hey maybe I could get used to doing this yoga stuff, seems pretty cool ,im already five minutes in and I'm not even breaking a sweat! Woo!"
Yeah, that's what I THOUGHT.
The next 25 minutes we were going through so many different poses I couldn't even keep up with the video! And apparently we were supposed to focus on staying relaxed and controlling our breathing patterns,
An accurate representation of the situation I was in :
Instructor: alright we are going to reach our hands down, go down into *pose*, press your feet against the floor and right foot out into a front lunge whilst inhaling....ah how relaxing just feel your easy breaths whilst in this stretch..
Me: okay okay okay okay...*breathes heavily as sweat rains from my forehead*
Instructor : inhale!
Me:*exhales* OH CRAP BETTER BREATHE QUICKLY BEFORE SHE GOES TO THE NEXT MOVE.
Instructor: exhale and change!
Me: *inhales quicky* crap.
Yup. What a dialogue.
But..all in all yoga is a good exercise that challenges the body and mind :)
I will definitely do it again, maybe not often but from time to time!
Whilst trying to achieve my healthy eating simultaneously.
I strongly encourage anyone who is thinking of doing yoga to do it because it not only strengthens but lengthens your body as well!
So that's the end of my little yoga experience.
Till next time! :)
