Yogi in Training

Im getting a massage tomorrow. Im worried, because I think i might become addicted. I LOVE massages, but have never had a professional one, so i think if i get someone that knows what they are doing (sorry, jerome), i might not be able to stop going.

My boss owns a massage studio, in addition to gym, and gave me a free one, so thats why im going to go check it out. So in honor of my Saturday massage, Im going to get nice and sore tonight. My upper body is pretty shreaded right now cause I lifted two days in a row. I went to the gym last night and it was packed so i pretty much just did what was open, which unfortunately was all upper body stuff.

Then tomorrow morning, im going to take a yoga class. YOGA. I dont think you understand. I did yoga once, and hated it. I almost left half way through. The instructor kept touching me, and its hard to relax and concetrate when you are thinking about punching someone in the throat. I’m more of an intense, can’t move, i might throw up workouter. Holding positions and stretching isnt really my idea of a workout, but Im going to give it a shot to keep with my relaxing day theme. Plus I’m going to be working all weekend, so I will need to escape.

The new site im going to be writing for, groundedfitness.com, has a lot to do with yoga and pilates, as well as broader health and fitness topics, so I should give it another chance. I used to hate eggs, but I tried them again a few years back, and like them now, so why not yoga?

After this class, Im going to take a few at a bikram yoga studio near my house. Everyone swears by it, and who knows, I might fall in love. I like sweating so whats better than roasting in a 5000 degree room while trying to balance on one leg?
