Trying out yoga
So I started trying out yoga and I've been doing it in my room. I hate running, I don't have a pool, so yoga is the best way to get my heart pumping. I downloaded this app on my iPad and been following the beginners stuff. The easiest program is the 23-minute "Sun Salutation for Wellness". The breathing exercise, "Breathing: Prithvi Pranayama", is 35 minutes. And the next program, "Beginner Prana Shakti Yoga", is 45 minutes.
Admittedly, I could only do around 20-30 minutes of these exercises at one time. When I tried the 45-minute program I didn't get to finish it because I was so winded out, sweating like a mother, that I just had to stop and lie down like a corpse ("Savasana" - yes they have a name for it, hehe).
It feels good, though. I like that I'm sweating because I feel like I'm losing bad fats in the process. I gained so much weight when I went to Canada, and it doesn't help that I have a sedentary job, working from home most of the week.
I want to get the feeling back -- of wanting to work out, missing working out when you haven't for a couple of days. I used to have that a few years ago when I was still going to the gym, but somewhere along the way, I just lost it.
We'll see how this goes. So far, so good. I just wish I could get past this stage when every time I do yoga I feel like passing out. Hahaha! Such a weakling.
Anywho, have a great day, folks!
