So I had the 'bright' idea to start to slowly introduce yoga into my exercise regime after reading this blog post and being inspired by how successful it has been for her. Well I have only done two very gentle 10 minute sessions so far, and today I can't flippin' walk - the pain in my left hip and back is agony. It is a gorgeous day and I can hardly move - made worse when I have sat down for a while. I just KNEW there was a reason I had stopped doing yoga, it just doesn't like me for some reason. I didn't even feel like I was pushing myself, knowing that I would have to go carefully.
I'm sorry that your doing yoga, even so carefully, has left you in rough shape. Sadly this has also been something I've experienced whenever I've tried any new exercise. Walking has been the only thing I can seemingly do as much as I have energy for and not suffer for after. And I don't have health problems as you do, just my age. I've watched TV programs that say they are gentle enough for anyone...not so. I hope you can recuperate as quickly as possible.
ReplyDeleteThat's a real bummer.
