I wear my Garmin watch, and leave on the display showing the heart rate. But Eagan's idea of a chest wearable one is probably better -- I've just never bothered to buy one and pair it up, and since I'm monitoring the workout on my Garmin anyway, that has worked for me.
This was awesome. I was at day 30 of 30-day challenge and so instead of doing what feels right I did this. Really needed this stretch after logging 121 pushups.yoga with adriene total body yoga deep stretch 45 minutes of good deep stretching which i very much needed recently. I won't even complain about the misandry of the cow legs pose.

ski vacation upside? is that our desire for a healthy march, is not weight related. 
when i'm burning 1700-2400 active calories a day skiing, i can eat and drink everything. we just enjoy life more, when living healthier.
Did a 30-min Intermediate flow. I may have overshot my abilities a bit, I need to stick to the beginner series. That was tough. Good but tough.
Could be worth investing in some yoga knee pads. I have an arthritic knee and use the foam ones for certain kneeling poses that are tough on the knee. There are gel ones as well but I've never used them.
The ones I use look like this - that might actually be the exact one. They're not very big, it says the diameter is 6.7", sounds about right. I don't use them often but certain poses I'll get them out.
Good job! Denis is my favorite all around instructor they have. Just the fact he rides to the beat makes things so effortless even when getting destroyed.
You may or may not know this answer, but is there anything for your feet? I have high arches that I have to target stretch before exercising. Even with that on a few yoga moves they will cramp.
Honestly, I don't know on this one. I haven't had those problems so I'm not sure.madshot31 said:

My second week weight loss is just 0.4 pounds. Probably introduced some carbs with flourless bread as I strive for a well balanced diet. Certainly never hungry and, overall, am eating very healthy. Weight moving in the right direction and I'm willing to be patient. First weeks weight loss was well above pace so maybe this is things leveling off.
It seemed to do the job. Lots of the poses had me shaking pretty good. 
Going to be honest, when scrolling the boards I honestly can't tell the difference until who I see is inside each thread. I basically treat them the same. Is there a different objective for one than the other, if so, I have missed that.krista4 said:Some are cheating on us with another thread; some are cheating on Adriene with another yoga instructor. Have you no decency?
OK, setting that aside, can anyone explain to me why I'm more likely to do three 20-minute yogas than one 40-minute session? I've wanted to turn to fred's latest 40-minute recommendation, but I haven't felt the energy for it. I did, however, just do three 17-19 minute ones in a row.
Not sure I'll have much success this week due to the amount of lasagna at my house through no fault of my own, but I did complete 5+ miles of walking before 9 a.m. today plus those three yogas. I'm also hoping that getting a haircut yesterday will have helped with my weight loss.
Hey look who said too much pushup talk in this thread then called me a cheater for starting a new thread and now wants to follow my yoga recommendations.krista4 said:Some are cheating on us with another thread; some are cheating on Adriene with another yoga instructor. Have you no decency?

(and Benji).
That's one of the shorter weight loss ones, I think you chose the worst one. I don't remember the names but i think its total body workout and deepen and flow which are both an hour and then abs arms and attitude and balance routine are both good too. I've been posting links and summaries to these then krista calls me a cheater and you ignore me I'm starting to feel unlovedWent back to my boo today. Yoga for weight loss - Healthy Energy Flow with Adriene
I haven't done any of her weight loss series before and wanted a shorter session, this was 36 mins. It seemed pretty basic and overall not all that hard, but then she ripped my abs apart at the end. I was sweaty by the end, so it was good enough. Probably will avoid that series in the future tho, seems too 'simple'.
I think the bolded is correct. I just have this mental block during the week that I can't spend 40-60 minutes, though then I end up doing a few in a row and hit that time anyway. I do check work email in between sessions to make sure I can spare more time. :(Going to be honest, when scrolling the boards I honestly can't tell the difference until who I see is inside each thread.

For the 20 minute vs 40 minute, it has to be a time block thing in our heads. I can always squeeze 20 minutes into my night even if I just got off working 10 hours, making dinner, doing the chores, letting the wifey do work stuff, as she typical starts work a few hours later than me and ends later. But, 40 minutes can be tough to plan around if I want to settle down from the life routine before 9PM, either that or I have to cut something. I do the same with my 30 minute spin rides instead of 45 or 60 minute ones. When I do them I feel great and love them, but they are tougher to sneak in without ramifications.
Keep up the good work!
Congrats on getting the shot, though!Got my 2nd Covid shot yesterday and being the ####### that I am, I made the mistake of attempting 100 pushups later that night. I completed 75 and went to sleep behind by 125. By the time I got to bed, my left upper arm felt like an elephant stomped on it. I still can barely move it at all and now starting to feel chills. Long day of work ahead as well. Needless to say, there will be no exercise for me today (perhaps a walk if it warms up). So I'll need to make up 225 pushups by tomorrow and who knows if I'll physically be able to do anything by then.

Yes I realized after I posted it that it was probably a bit insensitive and tone deaf. Very grateful that I got the opportunity.
Oh to be sure, I often check email during longer yoga sessions. Or even just move my mouse to see if I have any new messages or emails to read and respond to. It may take my focus away or change my breath thoughts but it is better than not doing yoga.
