After today.....

I now know that I will never be this girl.....


Yoga is pretty cool....but I just suck at it.

About the only position I was able to hold was "the pencil"
where you just lie flat on the floor with your arms
straight over your head and your feet pointed.

....and as for "the archer" pose?

I look like something "the archer" shot when I try to do it!

Maybe I'll have better luck with Pilates.

Stay tuned for tales of further humiliations
I suffer while trying to "get fit".

    I think that chick in that picture has got to be an alien from another planet because I know of no human being that can do that.

    Good luck with the getting fit! I know you'll come to love it.

    I just took a "yoga for pregnant ladies" dvd out of the library. I used to do yoga regularly at home until Mr. Curly decided it was funny to make fart noises behind me while I was bending and stretching.

    My favorite pose was always the crescent, which might be similar to the archer.

    I went to school with a girl who could do that. I can barely do the "lotus" thing. Good luck with those Pilates! I hear it's pretty brutal.

    I always found pilates to be harder than yoga, but maybe it's because I don't do pilates as much. I love yoga!

    That woman has great legs...but she needs to EAT SOMETHING. The only time I want to be able to count individual ribs is when I'm having BBQ.

    catch: heh! I'd be the same way...;-)

    pud: I know! She should be in the circus! LOL

    I already enjoy exercising...it's trying the new (for me) classes that gets a little weird. ;-

    mr fab: I'm gonna have to tell Mrs. Fab on you! LOL

    curly girlie: I'll probably try yoga again....I'm trying not to get too discouraged about it b/c I'd just finished an hour of a lower body workout. ;-)

    sunshine: Nothing like the sore muscles, huh? ;-)

    limpy: I bet you would! LOL

    lady k: Ha! I don't even do the lotus correctly!

    melanie: Thanks! I'm hoping I like Pilates....I'll just keep trying classes until I find something I like. :)

    blanco: I thought I was pretty limber until I took a yoga class. ;-)

    de: I'm gonna give it another try or two.... I WANT to like it...even though I'll probably never be any good at it.

    jr: her ribs are kinda scary looking! LOL

    lla: OH! Do that for me! Put MY face on her! LOL I'll never be in that position any other way!

    I'm starting a new form of yoga called Football Yoga, it consists of sitting on the sofa crossed legged watching football and drinking beer.:)

    I like doing the yoga pose where you lay flat and your back. And do nothing.

    I'm awesome at that one. :)

    Good luck I think. I've just come back from a) Disney and Pilates of the Caribbean and b) Athens were they eat loads of yoga!
    Can't you tell I'm not in to these technical expressions.

    Hey I'm sure you really are doing fine!!
