xpost: martial arts & yoga
Ok so I want to start Yoga here soon. I was a very athletic person in high school and college and my muscle tone when I start working out always develops really well. Actually almost too well…I was always top weight lifter and my muscles were almost on the bulky side. So I want to get Yoga in for lengthening my muscle tone and increasing my flexibility.
My question is once I do this and start getting my cardio and muscle tone up I want to do martial arts. Will being physically kicked and thrown and knocked around affect my abdomen? As in will it injure me specifically to the DS? Do I have limits as to what type of physical abuse I can take to my gut area?
Can anyone shed some light or ideas?

i just have so many things i want to do this summer, that i havn't done because i have locked myself inside due to embarrassment:(
when i get down to goal i plan to pick up rock climing! i do a lot of hiking and some of my hiking requires rock climbing. i would love to learn more in a safe enviroment to apply to the hiking. just so much i plan on doing, i will spare the gushing though ... i could go on and on...

This is going to be such an exciting journey for you and I'm looking forward to reading all about it. I think starting martial arts in several months will be fine and probably something that will do you physical and mental good. You may be surprised at how vulnerable you feel once you're lost all your weight. Martial arts will be a great way to keep your confidence up.
