In response to the recent Daily Prompt:
SO…. I’m sure this is not a surprising list coming from Miss Fit…
But, hear me out –
Currently I do a self-developed version of Strength Training Yoga [STY].
It’s wonderfully effective for toning muscle and building flexibility. Let’s face it – when you live in Phoenix , AZ swim suit season is YEAR ROUND so the toned muscles and flexibility also seem to always be “in-season”.
Wait?
Flexibility ?
What does that have to do with swim suit season?
I mean – dont- you -you-er—— um— don’t you— no, nope, definitely not.
Wow I almost got myself into trouble there…
Just know this – — There are lots of ways to burn calories – – and some things when done in the heat of summer…well let’s just say it’s a time of year when you sweat more doing um…cardio-vascular workouts…and well sweating is essentially detox for your skin and that just HAS GOT to be healthy.
So
Yes
Flexible is the new Black
Further questions should be addressed with your significant other. And all exercise regiments should be discussed with your physician first – most specifically the good looking, single ones.
…..
In case you thought I wasn’t coming back to my point [valid concern] I will say that whomever came up with this Daily Prompt is most certainly clairvoyant as I was just saying to myself today that I need more space in my house. Currently the room that I practice said STY in is what I like to call a combo-suite…It is the 10×10 cube that is home to my roommate and I’s entire life supply of books, office paraphernalia, and free weights.
Oh- and there is also a small closet.
Which has a missing door.
But only one missing door.
And not so much missing as transplanted to our garage by [yours Truly] in a [small] fit of super-human-strength-rage when it came of its sliding track for the 87th time.
Yes.
I meditate.
Yes.
I have situational anger issues.
Apparently doors repeatedly coming of their tracks is one of them.
Clutter and filth may also be triggers for me…
Which is why, if I had my druthers, my very special room would be for STY.
To take the place of the current pig-STY I practice in.
Curious to know more about STY? I would be happy to share some of the basics with you! Send a quick email to write.with.ms@gmail.com and let me know of your interest .
Yoga is not popular here. Such a shame!

Well, my dear, the good new is:
Popularity is not driven my location so much as population…
If you want it – just start doing it 🙂

How do you ‘just start doing it’? Is there videos online you’d suggest?

There may be videos. I would be happy to explain further to you. It’s very simple just grab some light weights maybe 2 or 3 lbs and incorporate them with standard yoga moves and use body for resistance. I will get some videos posted for you this week !

I’ve wanted to try Yoga but don’t have the guts to do it at the gym. I don’t think I have the strength or flexibility or balance .
