The power of accountability ... strength and 30 days of yoga

[linda9389]

Thank you everyone! You made me feel accountable 😍

I told you I would do my strength workout last week, so I did ✅

I told you I was starting the 30 days of yoga challenge (aiming to do it on 30 consecutive days), so (far) I did ✅

I was supposed to do strength again today; knowing I had said I would post an update on the yoga, I thought I ought to do my strength workout first, so I did ✅

I'm really enjoying the yoga - so varied. I've started scanning though the next day's video in advance so I can check out poses I don't know (my warrior was very wobbly and I'm blaming that on having to keep checking in with the screen 😀). Tomorrow will be day 9 and I'm looking forward to it!

I know a couple of people are also trying it at the moment, and some have done it in the past, but if anyone else is interested in taking a look - there is really no need to do it on consecutive days and each day has only been between 17 and 30 minutes long so far - here is the link to the intro (it's over 4 years old now) youtu.be/ipQJY_8pBe0(Not working as expected?)

Namaste 🙏🧘‍♀️

P.S. I will report back next week .... because this accountability clearly works for me 😜

Well done Linda! I’m so glad you’re loving Adriene’s vids. I’m starting one of her 30 day challenges next week too (I’ve done 2 before, but I’m sure there are more), after mum’s funeral but not including Christmas! ❤️

Good work Linda! 👍 I am loving the 30 days of yoga too. 😊 It has renewed my love of yoga! I am on day 7 tomorrow, and already feeling stronger and bendier. 😁

I went to my usual pilates class tonight - on the very first roll down of the evening my hands were flat on the floor and I was just loving the stretch; I've always been able to touch the ground, but this was like I'd gained an extra inch 😂 - it has to be the yoga, I can't think of anything else. I'm also finding I can use my breath at other times of the day to find some ofnthe calm I have during the yoga sessions. Result! Here's to another yogic week 😍

It does seem to take effect pretty quickly if you do it every day! Here’s to being limber, Linda! 👏👏😂😂

Well done! You are marvellous - a real inspiration. I better get on it! 🤣 tho I have been doing some Caroline Jordan Hurt foot videos. Thanks for the tip. 👍🏻🏃🏽‍♀️🎉

I hope you like the CJ routines. I'm still doing one every single morning - it's like if I don't, then I'll be tempting fate for something to go wrong again (quite a powerful motivator after the last 5 months!). Hopefully you'll enjoy the yoga too if you can find time for it ...and isn't that the tricky part

It sure is! 🤣
