I consiously know that no-one else is interested in what I'm doing at the gym, but for some reason for some reason I still feel like others are watching me when I'm doing my workouts.

I attribute much of my success to my morning yoga routine, because, though I wasn't initially a believer, it really did help with my mindset. The days I did yoga seemed so much easier than the ones I didn't. However...I eventually got preggers and stopped working out altogether. Now I feel like I'm too far gone to start up again. :( It'd probably take me a year of yoga to be able to touch my toes again. :doh1: A few years ago, I got really ambitious and managed to lose 30lbs.

I am absolutely insistent that I'm going to do the same thing, very soon. It's spring now, the weather's warming up, my clothes are lightening up and it's not as easy to "hide" the 10 pounds I gained over the cold winter! :rotfl1: That’s great Carly, so glad you’re doing this for yourself!

I actually like exercise! If it hadn't been for a friend getting me into an arobics class I might not have survived the death of my father, then 3 weeks later the separation from my husband. That physical activity was a great outlet for everything. :hairpull: Eventually I taught arobics which was extremely intimidating in the beginning!! :shock: Now I walk, that is something anyone can do, no class you just need a good pair of shoes, get out enjoy the scenery, don't do the same exact walk everyday, look at the flowers, people's yards, houses. I love it! I've been trying to find a yoga DVD so I can try that. For those of you that don't like the class you can do it on your own at home even those that are not flexible. Yoga will help you become more flexible. Congratulations to both Carly and Julie for taking better care of yourself. :yourock For so many of us, as females, we put everyone else first and do nothing for ourselves which is not at all good. We have to learn to take care of ourselves in order to take care of all those we love and care for. If you are still raising children I am aware that it is hard to carve out time for yourself but the results are so worth it. :thumbsup: :eastereggs: Okay, I guess I am in the minority!

I feel the same way about taking exercise classes. I get a bit competitive. If I am not doing it the best, I get grumpy. My friend took me to Bikram yoga and I almost fell on my head. :bowdown: (I know that's not the right emoticon but, it reminded me of some of the positions.)

I do for a few days then I stop. I've got to give yoga a try, it seems like something I would enjoy. I’m with you, I’m not so in love with exercising, but I want to. I do for a few days then I stop.

I love yoga, but I'm gloriously out of shape at the moment. And I've never tried hot yoga... I'll let you know how it goes! Congrats on getting an exercise routine!

I've never done yoga but I've done Pilates which also focuses on breathing and working your core muscles....I keep saying I'm going to do it again but like you time is very scarse....although my husband keeps telling me to just make the time for myself which sounds easier than it actually is...lol Namaste :meditate: Good for you Carly! :partygroup: Not a big fan of exercise either.
