I have always wanted to try yoga. My friend Dr. T is a native of Japan and she can make me laugh about yoga. She was always complaining about the pain of it and they asked her not to come back! I imagine her parents were mortified!

I do a series of yoga poses every morning (given to me by a physical therapist) to keep my spine limber and my core strong. I was ruthless with my bookshelves when we were redecorating in the fall. However, there are still way too many books...

It was great to go everyday and work out for 1/2 hour. Now I just try to keep the house clean, the laundry done. I did just come in from raking around the yard a bit. The wind picked up...not good for raking. Boy I have a lot of yard work to do. Ted is rolling the lawn right now. I do not think it's thawed enough for that.Isn't it nice to not have to wear a big old winter coat? Blessings for a fun weekend. xoxo,SusieSusiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425051654313691986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-11660976719154618042014-03-21T14:16:56.232-04:002014-03-21T14:16:56.232-04:00I like the idea of Elastigirl, and am glad you did...I like the idea of Elastigirl, and am glad you did not need the fire dept. to extricate you from the chair! I do exercises in a warm pool three times a week, for 15 years, so you can tell I like it. Lots of people post surgery or with aches and pains are in the pool.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-80161279576613040312014-03-21T12:45:52.323-04:002014-03-21T12:45:52.323-04:00I can put my hands on the floor when I bend down, ...I can put my hands on the floor when I bend down, but I think that is because I am so close to the ground anyway! I should take up yoga. I saw an inspiring video of a man who is disabled who took up yoga and was running in a year or so.

I chucked a lot about your Yoga class ,especially the part about calling the Fire Dept. - Never tried Yoga. I do need to get more exercise though but I think I'll stick to walking.<br />So glad you had a nice 1st Day of Spring. It was lovely here too.Idahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587867197850064349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-42486797236216737822014-03-21T11:10:33.882-04:002014-03-21T11:10:33.882-04:00You make yoga class sound so fun--except the part ...You make yoga class sound so fun--except the part about the Fire Department. Our family is going on a cruise this summer for my daughters 40th birthday and I'm trying to get in a swimsuit body. I've always walked but I'm pushing myself and my pour mussels are rebelling. I had to soak in a HOT bath last night just to sleep. We are swimming too and that dosen't hurt my body--60's is good though. Good for you for cleaning and donating--it's a good thing.<br />AnnAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13841651518661408615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-86752234709259077482014-03-21T10:47:02.208-04:002014-03-21T10:47:02.208-04:00Ah!

I just keep adding bookshelves.:) <br /><br />My body is long past the "Elastigirl stage." Many of those yoga positions would not be possible for me. I think 911 would have to be called just to get me up from the floor.:-)Nelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00731594872663348711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-299629577898769332014-03-21T09:06:38.180-04:002014-03-21T09:06:38.180-04:00You know, Buttercup..I just love your enthusasim (...You know, Buttercup..I just love your enthusasim (sp?) and willingness to try things..Blessings and smiles.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16466115918585699329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-43718513788374848212014-03-21T04:29:37.656-04:002014-03-21T04:29:37.656-04:00I had to be ruthless with letting go of many of my...I had to be ruthless with letting go of many of my books when we moved.... it was sad but for the best :) The yoga classes sound great!Sola Scripturahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01114177755134063286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6930223252966474185.post-77461467071898002562014-03-20T23:56:19.864-04:002014-03-20T23:56:19.864-04:00ENJOY your time with YOGA.
