Wednesday:
Do you have a workout you are embarrassed or shy to do in front of people?
Well, I do...Yoga...
I did Yoga in front of other people one time. I was so embarrassed. I was falling all over the place. I was tangled up in my legs, and I gained nothing from the workout. I was too worried about what others thought, and how I was not as good at it as everyone else that I never did it again. I love yoga, but I am bad at it. I am not that flexible (I mean I can touch my toes), and I am not that graceful.
I get so tense from long hours at work, and then long hours of training and running. I stretch everyday, and I often incorporate Yoga moves I found online. Today I did a routine I absolutely love doing. It was created specifically for runners, and it is quick and easy to follow. The best thing about it...you can do it in your own living room where no one else can see you. Enjoy!
