Roxie- great job of working out on TM with your trainer, but please don't over do it. Maybe a nice warm epsom salts in the bath water might be helpful in relieving any soreness. Take it easy and good job of getting that workout in and there is no shame in opting to walk on some of those TM intervals if it means avoiding pain.
Belinda- Awesome workout you did today of HiiT 30/30 + CM #3 that'll get ya good, nicely done. My toes are still a little black and blue and tender but I'm able to get through my workouts so that's good.
Debbie- WTG girlfriend with Yoga Relax that's a nice one.
Yes, yoga does work your muscles and can make you a little sore. Its awesome you can hold the poses as long as Cathe. I think what makes yoga fatigue the muscles is holding your own body weight in a certain position for a length of time. It reminds me that just doing body weight exercises can be a workout and still strength your muscles. Yoga is great because it can do all that and strengthen and lengthen muscles as well, plus its a great travel workout and is very space friendly workout as well. Because of my MS it makes the balancing poses in yoga difficult for me to do without falling over which is frustrating because before MS I could do them without difficulty, but not so much now. I have to remind myself yoga is not about holding the poses as long as the people in the class or to do advanced options on poses. Its about doing the best you can and if that means modifying it for your needs that's great too! Yoga is very forgiving that way and I know I need to start trying to do it more often. I think I have been avoiding it because of MS but its supposed to be a great one for MS. The only issue is I need to do it against a closet door or wall for balance poses to avoid falling. I think this has made me gun shy on yoga. Oh well, enjoy your yoga and do what you can with in your range of motion and never force anything. It will come with time at least that is what I've heard Baron Baptiste say on my dvds of his. Enjoy and take care!
Chris- I hope you had a great workout today as well. Plus I hope you're feeling better and had a good night's rest too! Hugs!
Well girls, that's it for me today. I hope everyone has a great and restful evening and get up tomorrow am ready to be full of energy workout warriors and cathletes that we are. Hugs to everyone!
