For the past few days I’ve been doing little 20-minute yoga workouts in the morning, using DVD-Rs that I taped off the Wisdom Channel last year.  The show is called Yoga Zone… kinda hilarious that I spent all that time taping and editing the shows to get them onto DVD-Rs, but never actually did the workouts until now!  Whatever, better late than never.  I’m doing this as a supplement to the daily walking I started awhile back; I felt like I was concentrating too much on pounding the pavement, and not enough on stretching and general muscle-building.  So it feels good to do this, and it’s such a short and easy workout that I’ll probably continue every day.  I hope.  :-)

One weird thing I noticed right away is that both my hands, but especially the right one, tend to erupt into tremors if I press on ‘em too hard during these workouts, and afterwards… I’m pretty sure it’s because I’m stressing some muscles that haven’t been used in quite awhile.  My left hand is stronger, I assume because I’ve been using it to make chords on my guitar, whereas the right one I barely use at all; if I don’t start using it again it might as well morph itself into a paddle-shape just for mouse-clicking.  So yeah, there are obviously some weak muscles in there that I need to keep an eye on, and slowly build them up again without hurting myself.  I got no problem with that!

I was doing situps for the past few days but I dunno, I think the yoga idea is much better.  I’ll still be building my muscles but gently, that’s the ticket.  It promotes allover physical health which is what I’m really going for here; I got no real use for a six-pack, thank you very much.  I just want to get myself in better SHAPE, I don’t wanna be a FREAK about it.  :-)
