I was reading through top dogs I hate eating healthy and exercising thread. Someone mentioned DDP Yoga and curiously I clicked the link. I've been interested in the health benefits of Yoga and the flexibility it could bring back to my body. I'm over 40 and currently losing weight but I feel so inflexible, used to be like gumby.
In addition I live/travel in an RV right now and it's difficult finding a place to workout. Some campgrounds have gyms but the few that do are usually pathetic. Had knee surgery last spring and between that and my weight I'm afraid to run. So I've been walking and riding my bike. I'd like more resistance to begin building muscle back up, I was reading into some body weight stuff and was considering doing that.
So I am reading the DDP page and it's intriguing, but I have some caveats...
1. It's created by a wrestler. Is this make believe Yoga? Are the stretches real
Seriously, is this credible and does anyone know anyone who has done it and it's worked for them?
2. I've avoided Yoga because honestly the spiritual side of it is a non-starter for me. I know to some it's very important and I don't mean to disparage them but for me personally, identifying my chakras and trying to find some kind of enlightenment has zero appeal, if anything it's the greatest hindrance to getting involved. I'm very confident in my spirituality and I've done my time with Eastern Philosophies earlier in my life. My goal is purely athletic/fitness and anything beyond that is a waste of time to me.
3. The whole thing looks kind of infomercial-ly to me. The whole package just kind of gives me the hard sell heebie jeebies. Nice testimonials though, including Jake the Snake.
4. In case I didn't mention it, it's created by a professional wrestler. Following a "Fitness/Yoga program written by a wrestler" kind of has a following a "religion created by a science fiction writer" feel to it.
Well there, I've probably offended both Hindus and Scientologists. But my desire to find a self contained program that can help me with strength, flexibility, and weight loss but can be done in or just outside my RV is real. Any experience with this?
