Move your body today!

The pool remodel at my health club is finally done (and the water s/b warmed up)! So no more procrastinating for me.

As soon as I can tear myself away from OH and FB, I'm off to swim.

What are you doing to move your body today? 

----

I swam 40 lengths - 20 laps - 1K - in 45 minutes.

Today I did my 5k training and yoga stretching -- 1:29:56 5k training for a total of 4.18 miles, 30 minutes yoga (intermediate stretches for runners).  It was my longest run yet for training, and I did it!!

Congrats on the run!

I'd like to try yoga, but can't stand up very long. I also can't bend over well and breathe at the same time. Did you start yoga after an amount of weight loss? 

I understand completely.  I started yoga when I weighed 270, which was about 7 weeks post-op.  It was very hard for me when I started, but it has definitely gotten easier.  I feel so much more confident now than I did then and I don't feel like my boobs are trying to suffocate me ;)  

One of the things that really helped me when I started yoga was to talk to my teachers before the first class and say, "hey, I'm concerned because I'm obese and have issues with certain things" and they've been amazing at offering modifications so that I can still participate.  And, over time, I've stopped needing those modifications.  

I find this blog to be SUPER inspirational, by the way -- http://jessamynstanley.com

Thanks, I'll check it out. 

I don't know what sort of facilities you have access to, or how old you are, but there are senior centers and other fitness places in my area that offer "chair yoga" and that might be something worth looking into!

I'm old enough for senior discounts...

Great suggestion! I just checked, and my health club offers chair yoga Tues and Thurs mornings. It's on my calendar for tomorrow!

Years ago a community access channel in PA offered "zesty chair exercises". At the time, I found it amusing. Silly me. 

That's GREAT!  I hope that it goes well, I can't wait to hear how you like it!  

Drat, missed it. I mis-remembered the time. Review postponed.

Hopefully Thursday :D
