CK for some days, not sure how many...

Sorry, have been trying to change some internet usage habits here in the resolution time of the new year, which lead to me forgetting to update.

Since December 28 or so, I have done at least 15 minutes of yoga every day except New Year's.

Yesterday morning, I tried Element: Yoga for Weight Loss. It's about 50 minutes focused on the big leg muscles for maximum calorie burn. Beginner level, with excellent instruction. Not very challenging yogically for me, but definitely challenging physically - I did sweat.

Today, Core Strength Vinyasa Yoga: Total Body Transformation and Weight Loss with Sadie Nardini. I did the preset Core Transformation session, which is one hour. 45 minutes of hard, hard work, followed by a really nice supine relaxation stretching section. Sadie's so good a pampering you at the end. And now I feel so TALL!

We are so great!

Guys! For three days running, we have had 14 members report exercise!

Are we Resolutioneers, as my cousin so scornfully describes the folks who start shoing up at his gym in January? MAYBE! But we are awesome right now, anyway!

How many of us are resolving to daily exercise in the new year? This is such a time for reviewing our lives and setting new goals. I hope this community can be a supportive place and an inspiration to be more than a Resolutioneer as the determination of the holiday season yields to the stresses of daily life.
