Workout was pretty good considering it was a night time training session After 2pm my workouts suffer and by 8pm at night they normally suck! Rod wanted to try to get back to the gym so I felt I should be there for him, he's been doing pretty good with his depression lately thankfully things at home are slowly getting better... I hope they stay that way.
So one husband is on the mend whilst the other (my ex) is fucking up all over the road again. Got a call today to say he got kicked out of rehab and has been shipped off basically to some religious retreat... I give it a month tops! Shitty thing is telling the kids that they won't be seeing their dad this Christmas and that he can't have any contact outside of the farm for two months. The shittiest thing of all is that my 8 year old daughter is pretty much spent on emotion for him now and said quite candidly that she doesn't think he'll ever get better and she doesn't much care anymore. My son still has sympathy for him... my ex loves to play victim to him. For me I just get mad - what kind of father decides to start heroin at 35 when he has a 6 and 8 year old kid???!

Anyhow workout as follows...

Chest/Back

BB Bench Press 8/3/5/8 - 115/135/125/115
BB Bent Over Row 10/8/8/5 - 95/105/105/110
DB Incline Bench 10/2/3/7 -40/45/45/40
Medium Grip Lat Pull Downs 10/7/8 - #10/#11/#10
DB Flys 10/10 - 25/25
Cable Narrow Grip Low Row 10/10 - #10/#10

Well I did it!

I survived my first Bikram's yoga (hot yoga) class - though it felt like I might die a few times!

It was the 7am class and small, apparently most classes have about 25 participants, this morning there were 5 guys and myself and a male trainer... damn the luck!

Actually I was kinda suprised, I sort of presumed it would be mainly women with a sprinkling of guys.
I think I did okay for my first time, getting used to the 110 degrees for 90 mins wasn't too bad at all, though I did get dizzy on a couple of the poses. Some of the poses (there are 26) I nailed and felt pretty damn heroic and there were others that left me feeling very inept!!!
Overall I think I enjoyed it

. If I am going to take something such as yoga I definately want it to be taught in the right environment (not a noisy gym) and by a certified trainer (we have a few 'Mickey Mouse' yoga trainers at World's who I swear take a two hour course which enables them to teach!) The instructor was very good, gave lots of one on one attention and made me feel at ease in the class without singling me out as the newbie!
Anyhow... they have invited me back for a week of free classes and I've been told that with yoga 'more' is better. So back at it tomorrow morning at 9:30am... admittedly I'm not totally sure yet if I'm going back for the yoga or to be outnumbered by sweaty men in swimming trunks!!!

Swimming trunks are better than banana hammocks or plum smugglers.

Sounds like a West coast business crowd morning WO... -

I did Yoga as an "anti" to my old powerlifting WO, and I hear you when you
say, "take it at a real studio"...

Sooooooooo much better -

Had my second class of yoga today and it was a packed class, 40 participants which took the 110 degree room up a notch... holy crap, talk about sweat!
I found today's class a LOT more challenging than yesterday, (maybe it was the lack of men in swimming trunks to distract me from my pain?!) not sure why, I did feel pretty freaking dizzy a few times and the instructor urges you to work through these spells, it's so strange to when my clients feel nauseous, dizzy and disoriented and I tell them to STOP! I managed to finish the class though with only a couple of brief pauses and I dare say I'll be back at it tomorrow... I am afterall a sucker for punishment (hence having been married twice!!!

kidding!!!).
Right now though I feel all too aware of all my tight areas and feel like having a deep tissue massage session to work some of these areas out and then a nice long nap... but instead I'm going back to work.
Training legs tonight with Rod hopefully... be back later.

The only thing that kinda grosses me out is that it's a carpeted floor! All that sweat that isn't dripping onto the mat and towel is going into that... I had a baaaaad mental image today of all the grossness growing in that carpet and all the things you could catch from it!

It's a brand spanking new building with new carpet and appears clean but for how long?! Ugh... why the hell did they put carpet in in the first place.

I have also wondered about working out in these kind of conditions in the height of cold season, wonder if the humidity would enhance air born germs spreading... gak, getting paranoid now!

Will post workout tomorrow... too tired, need zzzzz's.

Hey Kerry, I've missed you

How are you doing? I don't think I could do Yoga like that on a carpeted floor

Looking good in here!

Dang girl, you are strong. Keep it up.

Ditto! I'm doing great right now... things are looking up.

How are you?
I hear ya on the carpeted floor!

I haven't been back yet, I am psyching myself out over this one. I did do a google on Bikram yoga classes and it appears that it is standard practice for it to be performed in a carpeted room. Hmmm... maybe I should take something else up??? I'm undecided yet if I will return or not.

	I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...
