So I started doing yoga. I'm not quite to that point yet, but I still am really enjoying it! So this weeks (second) top ten is the ten reasons why you should do it with me!
1) I can feel it! Even after just the first week I feel stretchier. It makes me sore, but the good kind.
2) It looks super cool when you do it right.
3) It takes a lot of concentration, which takes your mind off other things.
4) It seriously works every single muscle in your body. Because you move so slowly and hold every pose, you really get toned.
5) It takes patience which I don't have very much of. BUT this way I can learn patience and get super buff at the same time...two birds with one stone.
6) Even if you don't like it, you can laugh at all the granola people who get way way into it.
7) It doesn't involve running. I really hate running.
8) I don't have to wear shoes! I hate shoes! It's like prison for your feet. In yoga, your feet can be free!
9) It's like stretching and exercising at the same time...again, two birds with one stone.
10) This sounds a little crazy, but I find it very relaxing. Who would have thought that contorting myself into all kinds of weird and uncomfortable poses would be a de-stresser? Go figure!

I'm finding that I also enjoy yoga. How are you doing it? Are you using a DVD or going to a class? I have been using 2 different DVDs one is from Self Magazine and is Yoga for Relaxation and de stressing (or something like that) the other is by the biggest loser Bob Harper. The first is pretty easy but you still feel like you've gotten a good work out. The second has 3 levels that you can choose. I'm just on the first one. I really like it!
I've been doing a DVD...well actually a video I found on netflix. I really want to take an actuall class though. I figure I'll learn the basics in the humiliation-free comfort of my own home befor I attempt to do it in public :)
PS you need to send me an invite so I can read your blog. But to my umail...u0529430@utah.edu.
