What sorcery is this?!
 

I got up with my boyfriend at 4:15 and said "I'm going to stay up and start yoga" that must have been a dream because I just went to bed at 1:00am and I surely didn't get enough sleep. But here I am, getting dressed, brushing my hair, and setting up my mat to begin my day by sweating my cinnamon buns off! Who knows, if I keep this up I may actually have time to do this everyday before work next week :) I'll let you all know how it goes when I'm done! Wish me luck!

I did it! I feel so amazing :) The Biggest Loser Weightloss Yoga is no joke! I am sweating my butt off! It got hard but I did it almost all the way to the end with the exception of one pose before the cool down :) and it's only 6:15am so if I were going to work I still have time for breakfast, and shower :)

Good job lady :) I have never tried yoga, perhaps I need to give it a go soon :)

It's amazing! I did The Biggest Loser Weightloss Yoga and Bob keeps the pace going like no other. It's definitely something to invest in. I only spent $5 on amazon for it

I just might have to check that out, I do like TBL videos! Props to you for getting up so early to get it done! My alarm went off at 4:15 this morning to go to the gym and I turned it off and went back to sleep! Ooops.

Normally I would have gone back to sleep lol but something told me "Get your butt out of bed!" I've been living comfortably with a remote in hand and my rear end on the couch lol. Granted I've been eating right, I wasn't getting any work in. My personal goal for the rest of the week is to do this every morning and use Sunday as a rest day before I go back to work Monday

That's awesome. You people that can pull yourselves out of bed at 4 in the morning for a workout amaze me. I have trouble doing it for 7!

Yoga is definitely a work out for sure. I take a class once a week, and I'm still sore from yesterday's!

This never happens haha so it surprised me just as much as it surprised you. My bf gets up everyday at that time so I figure maybe I can too haha. I'd also rather do it before work than after because then I can be a bum and not feel bad about it. I posted before how stressful it is before work already but if I can get up at 4 am instead of 6 it's very doable. :D I was done in 45 minutes.

Wowza! Go you!! I have a hard time getting out of bed at 630am.
You're doing awesome!!!!'

Thank you :)

Good for you!

Thank ya :D

Way to go!!!! I couldn't even get up that early and do a work out! You're awesome, seriously.

BTW- I got some chuckles from your thread title. Love it.

This is unheard of! I just got done with my second round of 45 minute yoga today :) that's 90 minutes of exercise! Woot woot!

Thank you! :D and I thought it'd be funny ;)

Good for you! I drag my butt out of bed every morning at 5:30-6 to get everyone off to school/work but I don't have to energy to do anything so I really admire your energy!
I have always wanted to do yoga. I will see if I can get a DVD like that to just do at home.

It's so fun :) Josh even did it with me after he got off work. At first I was a little embarrassed to do it in front of him but I stopped caring about that real quick and was even offering him some tips :) I'm so relaxed! It's only 8:00 pm but I'll be ready for bed soon to do it again at 430 tomorrow morning :)

It sets up my day with positivity. I noticed I wasn't so tense and easily irritated after I did it. Granted I am very tired now I must admit it gave me tons of energy today after I only had a few hours of sleep last night

I've been thinking about trying yoga, maybe I should check out that dvd....

Though I seriously doubt I'd ever do it before the sun's even up! Way to be motivated, I definitely would have gone back to sleep ;)

How flexible does one have to be for this? Even when I was in high school and a size 20 I was never very flexible when we did yoga type warm ups.

Not very flexible at all :) that's what you work up to. Do what you can and there are "child's poses" which are modified poses. When you think you can do the actual pose, try it! Even if for two seconds you build up that strength. I'd recommend it :) TBL is awesome because it caters to bigger people using actual contestants at different stages. I wish there was a yoga class around here that catered to big people.

That's awesome Elvis! You'll love it! I use a mat on my carpet just so my feet can grip a little more and it adds a little extra cushion not much though. Don't be scared! It's so relaxing! Just make sure you pull in your core and focus on breathing. I made that mistake only once and got very lightheaded for a couple minutes. Let me know how it goes! If you like it They sell it online for $5. It's a 6-8 week course with a maintenance "create your own" workout. It's pretty awesome!

I just wanted you to know that you inspired me to try this video. I ordered it via my library so it's coming from a different town. I should have it hopefully by the weekend. Your posts really made me want to try it, even though I'm scared to death!!

You think I can do yoga without a mat and just on the carpet? I never did anything like it before!

I love Yoga! It's, also, one of the good things about Yoga is that you don't have to be skinny or fit to do it. You just have to have a body and everyone has one of those, right!? ;)

There are, also, tons of Yoga videos (Tara Stiles) on you tube that I love to do. I may have to invest in the Biggest Loser Yoga just to see Bob! :drool:

Waking up that early to exercise is seriously commendable!! Way to go for effort!! Brushing your hair is another Woo Hoo!! :carrot: :D

I used to go swimming at 6am everyday that's only cos my cat would wake me up at 5 every morning. (there is no snooze button on a cat that wants breakfast :( )

but NOW the little tyke wakes me up at 4AM and I feed it and go back to sleep thinking I'll wake up in an hour and go swim as always! Not happening. I am over sleeping.. (waking up at 7) - so no morning swim for me for past few days!

Maybe I need to reset my cat !!! :s:

This made me laugh, so cute. Good luck with that!!!
