The Danger Zone

Sorry, I just watched Top Gun and couldn't think of a less lame title. But I did go a little outside of my comfort zone today and went to a beginner's yoga class. And I'm hooked. There were no cheesy oohmms or Enya, but there were people who were elegantly thin and incredibly flexible. I decided I wanted to be more like that. And of course, the added bonus was the way it made me feel. My back and neck have never felt so fabulous and I'm already missing the warm, loose, relaxed feeling. It wasn't nearly as easy as I thought it would be either: my legs, arms, and back muscles burned as I sweated just because I was holding my body in a certain (and awkward) position. I'm not saying I would want to do it every day or even as my main workout. (I still lov...I mean appreciate a good heart-pumping cardio that make me sweat buckets and makes my limbs feel like they are going to fall off.) But it was a nice change up that I'm pretty sure I'll make as part of my new routine! :)
