Rodney Yee - Power Yoga Total Body (one hour vigorous yoga)



A lot of people may recognize me from sun_salutation.

I am 5'6" and approximatly 157 pounds. A few of you know that over Lent, through diet and exercise I lost 15-20 pounds and was down to a 15 year low for me of 147 pounds. Sadly, since Easter, I have gained 10 pounds back already!

I turn 40 this year, and I am determined that I will be 132 on my birthday in December. That's 25 pounds. It can be done. 132 is in the middle of the healthy weights quoted for my height. I'm already as fit as I've ever been in my life, but I'd like to get rid of the baby gut once and for all and if I coudl weigh at 40 what I was when I was 20, that would be such a nice birthday present to me! (I'd really, really like my 28 inch waist back, too, which would be TWO fab presents!)

So I am back to tracking my calories, and when I post "today's" exercise, I may post "yesterday's" calories/calorie expenditure behind a cut.

So that's me. CK. On a mission.

That is an awesome goal. Good on you! We'll do what we can to help.

I really like the Rodney Yee Power Yoga - I got it just a couple weeks ago. At first I was really intimidated by the way the more advanced poses are integrated into the routine, rather than being separate, but now I find I really like challenging myself to see how far I can get into those more difficult poses.

The Yee disc remains one of my favorites. Lots of postures and variety. Also, *just* when I think I'm going to have to give up, he moves on to wide angle standing forward bend and I know I've made it! :D A great workout.
