Ok, so I'm a couple more days into this bikram thing, and I still have a very love hate thing going with it. Turns out, I just don't do well with heat. I find it hard to breathe. That's not a bad thing mind you, my body will get used to it. I want my body to get used to it, but still it's hard. After the first hour, you;ve made it through all of the standing poses, and the floor stuff is easier. Again, I still have trouble with overheating, but I feel I can push more into this stuff. So complaints aside, I love the way it feels when I do get out though. I feel like totally relaxed, and I think I'm already starting to see the benefits flexibility wise. The other day, in my gymnastics class I discovered that I can do a cleaner headstand back bend, which is a cool looking move. So yeah, I figure I'll stick with it for a little while, even though every time I get into that room I can't wait to get out. As a bonus, according to some websites I burn like 1000 - 1500 calories a class in there, which is insane. There's nothing else I do that can match that. As an added, added bonus, it's low enough impact that I can double it up with other works outs. On wed, I was able tjavascript:void(0)
Publish Posto do yoga back to back with my capoeira class. That means that I've worked out some 7 times in the last 5 days!!! Score!
