Want strength? hit up some yoga..
i try it but really struggle sitting down. i also feel like half the time im not doing it right. are classes worth while doing?
a hard aspect of yoga is overcoming the stereotype that as a guy you are there for a perve and nothing else.
Big fan, try to do at least one class a week. Great form of physical mediation, focussed breathing, and quite challenging when done correctly.Anyone into yoga?

try Yin yoga. its extremely passive and involves holding poses for 3 to 5 minutes to allow you to get deep into the posture. supposedly it targets the connective tissue instead of the large muscles but all i know is that its a really awesome stretch and a nice compliment to Ashtanga/power yoga type stuff.What you get from yoga relies a lot on the instructor. Some just get you to wave your hands around, some are ethereal, and some a grounded. Possibly the most hurting (spelling) class I do is a yoga class that is like power yoga. Amazing!
But other classes I have done are sort of relaxing, but fairly useless.
I do a lot of Body Balance, which is pretty good. As with most Les Mills classes it evens out the garbage from the great, to usually being pretty good.
If you can get a pure stretching class I recommend it. Amazing what happens when you stretch for an hour with someone that knows their stuff. But very hard to find - classes and people that know about stretching. Your body will feel hurt (in a good way) and then aches and pains go away and everything gets easier over time.

That's what I'm doing at the moment, Yin yoga. I tried another type of yoga years ago and walked out sweating from head to toe, where as this yin yoga is great to just stretch everything out.try Yin yoga. its extremely passive and involves holding poses for 3 to 5 minutes to allow you to get deep into the posture. supposedly it targets the connective tissue instead of the large muscles but all i know is that its a really awesome stretch and a nice compliment to Ashtanga/power yoga type stuff.
yeah, love me some Yin. everything feels like jelly when im done and its not taxing on the body so you can still get your higher intensity workouts in.That's what I'm doing at the moment, Yin yoga.

I've actually started doing pilates which I find is a good mix between yin yoga and a proper workoutYin is my favourite. I try and do a vipassana class every day and yin atleast 4 times a week.
A 90 minute yin class flies by, it feels like a 20 minute class.
For the amount of yoga i have done it is quite amazing "bad" i am at it. For those that think they are crap, stick at it. Some of us are less flexible and have different body shapes. But we will get there
I think my legs are disproportionately longer than torso and arms which makes many poses and transitions more difficult.

I've been doing classes, I personally prefer it as I'm not very good so it helps having the trainer there to do the little corrections and adjustments I can't seeI've actually been considering doing pilates at home with the missus, do you do classes or just follow along on YouTube?
Bikram Yoga classes 3-4 times a week for me, love it.
Yes, I got my invite email a few weeks ago, I'll get an email mid January when I'll just have to confirm I'm going. Starts late January, I will be there.If you can handle that much Bikram you'll easily do meditation.
Have you booked in?
