So the gym at my school has not slowed down yet. It is packed. And I hate it.
So I have been looking for alternative ways of working out. I went to the rock climbing gym. It was a good workout. Specifically I enjoyed the bouldering. I haven't gone back. I don't know why.
On Wednesday we had a snow day and the gym was closed. So I couldn't go in at all. But I really wanted to exercise, so I looked online at the prices for the local yoga studio. It was $30 for 2 weeks of unlimited yoga. So I went for it.
Now something you need to understand is that I am the least flexible person in the world. I cannot touch the ground when I bend over. For someone who considers himself an athlete. That is AWFUL! I am embarrassed of this. So yoga is very intimidating for me. Being in a room with a bunch of very very flexible people and not being able to do anything is quite a challenge. I like to win. And I do not win at yoga.
But... I'm trying. I am tackling something that is a huge challenge for me. I am doing Hot Yoga, which I have done a couple times before with Quan in Toronto. I like it. You sweat like a beast.
Hopefully it will help me become more flexible.
I went to a class Wednesday and Thursday and I am going back today. Then I will take the weekend off for super-bowl fattening and get back to both yoga and weight training on monday. I really like yoga. It is a challenge for my muscles and for my mind. It is everything that OutFit is about.
I have the pass for another week and a half so I will probably write two or three more updates about the my journey in yoga. Stay tuned for that.
