“Yoga for Dummies?”

“LOL!

I want to try that thing where you put the wet towel in your nostril and pull it out your mouth!”

“Hell, I've seen pics of swamis swallowing a long tube of cloth, down to their stomach, then pulling it out.

Sorta like "Roto-Rooter" for the esophagus!”

“hmm yoga and sex toys?

“Bobo - you seen that Movie - Ben Kingsley is just the scariest character ever in that?”

“The casinos and stronger beer dazed me.”

“Maple, correct me if I am wrong. I am guessing that this is part of your weight loss new years resolution. If it is, then I have the following advice that I hope will help you in your goal to a healthier and happier Maple.

I personally, am not sure about the yoga as a solution to your new years goal. I have always seen yoga, as a more relaxing activity that relives stress. I think this is a positive activity, but I am not sure if it will give you the desired results. I may be horribly wrong with my opinion with yoga. My expertise on yoga is zero, outside what I am assuming I have not a clue about it. If it works, go with it; be healthy.

As a once powerful runner, I can assure you of one thing: It takes motivation beyond the norm to work out alone. In high school, I dominated my team, running 12 miles a day often. I could hammer out a sub 4:30 mile time in high school. Now, I am just a slightly above average college boy. As I run to class, to get there before I am late, I sweat bullet, huff, and puff. Outside of last week I have no ran one mile since the end of the track season in June. With out my team, my support group, I have found zero motivation to keep in shape. I maintain by six-pack abs and lean figure, but I am exhausted when I hike or run. At the ADK butt kicker, I was ahead of Pennsy on some of the climbs, at Scorchy’s first trip, I was sucking wind like a fighter jet! Last week I started running again, because no I go to a gym with a co worker, and after lifting, I run on the treadmill. I am sure that if I did not have a support group (even just one person) I would not train in any fashion.

It would be my recommendation to you, that you involve tree beard with your goals, or sign up for classes at the nearest gym. I would say bring your daughter into this, but most 15 year-olds want nothing to do with their parents. Buying a treadmill or any athletic equipment is good for the days you can’t get to the gym, but I would hesitate on that being your sole training equipment. At business class, we love to study the athletic sector of business. People buy all this crap, $1000 treadmills, and never use them after the 2nd week. That is why you can give 110% refund if the product doesn’t work for the buy, cause the buyer will never return it, cause they know it would work if they used it, but they don’t. I have Abb rockers, step thingies, and everything else, sitting in my attic. My mom buys that crap, and uses it once.

I hope my point was made clear an not cluttered by so many words (which most are misspelled). When people write this much it means one of two things, they are passionate about what they are writing or pissed about what they are writing (which is passion). I wrote this much, to give examples of my personal experience with fitness, I hope I did not come off as a know-it-all. I also hope will guide you to your goals and the other people on TT that have similar new years goals. I wish you the best of luck. :-)”

“Not many misspellings, impressive.”

“thanks for the grat advice!!

yes I have a plan and yoga is just a way to slow my mind down a little. its just so busy all the time. i need to relax more!

yes this is something that tree wants to do to.”

“Happy New Year, Tea!”

“Tree... envision yourself as a tree in the wind...”

“umm I rather he did not. All I can see is a flapping limb if ya get my drift!”

“rather see a stiff limb mapes? ;)”

“MAPLE!”

“what did I say?
oh yell at me you pervs!!”

“if you are talking about true yoga, (merger, union of the self with the infinite) then I would recommend "autobiography of a yogi"
by paramahansa yogananda as a starter and then some of his other writings that deal specifically with meditation techniques.

if you are talking about yoga and meditation ( body image/ego yoga), then i would go to a class, because it is hard to achieve the practice from reading about it. Then after learning the basics..get a book and develop a routine you do at home every day. I would steer away from the "new age" classes that have become popular and go with a more traditional yoga class (kriya, kripalu, hatha) that integrates the branches

but that is just my 2 cents from my experience
om shanti om and all that jazz~~”

“I use to bring the yoga in the squeeze packages on backpacking trips. It's gooooood stuff!”

“dude, get a tape! i have Power Yoga for Beginners...it's much easier to understand how everything is done when you can actually see someone doing it.

“LMAO”

“Reminds me of the two cats that were watching their mistress do her yoga workout. One cat turns to the other and says "Ya know, she's been doing this for 5 years now, and she still can't lick her ass!"”

“LMAO FG!

Hey, I've been considering taking a yoga class, I know a couple of people that do it and after I stopped giggling they convinced me they really like it.”
