yesterday after our chest workout, dave and i joined a yoga class. i’d always kinda wanted to try it and it’s easier when you have an equally inexperienced friend. anyway, we looked like fools. we were dressed for lifting weights, so our long pants and 3 shirts were in the way and inhibited some of the funky strech movements. we also didn’t know that we had to take off our shoes and socks and get a thin mat, and store it on the side of the room, etc, etc… the people were really friendly and helpful.

aside from being unprepared though, i realized that 1. i’m not very flexible and 2. don’t try yoga after heavy lifting. a lot of the positions had us esentially doing pushups and almost every exercise was shoulder intensive. while the stretches were great, we could barely hold the weight of our own arms, let alone a warrior 2 position for as long as we were supposed to, and fuck that half-moon-locked-arch… the back of my shoulders still don’t feel right. anyway, cheers to new experiences. we might actually try to integrate it into our workout schedule.
