Tibetan Rites Challenge - Day 6/7

[CBDB]

Sixth day of our 7-day, 5 Tibetan Rites Challenge!

And I see some of us get in there, early! AMAZING!!!! Boom!!! Indeed!

And here we are! The penultimate! We are in the range of reasonable repetitions for a daily workout! Some of us are continuing with 5 repetitions, a nice round number! My pledge to myself is to keep going with daily sessions with seven once we get there.

Of course this challenge will end at this point, but the one or other Yogi might decide to continue all the way up to the maximum number of repetitions advised, the great grand number of 21!

So are you planning to embed the five rites into your daily workout patterns? Or will you return to other stretching, yoga or Pilates routines?

Let us know!

Picture is of the gifs at the Wikipedia entry. They even move in the article ! Cute!

Links from all prior days are also below. Just in case you need a follow-along video, they’re all available from day 1 or 2. The warmup is also available from day 1 or 2.

Although 5 is a good number, it’s 6 repetitions today!

I am happy to stick with 🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏on Day 6 for a while until I can do the full movement with ease. I will slowly increase after that..

It’s already a part of my everyday routine…. I have never been an “exercise “ person… prefer getting out for a walk or a swim on non run days.. … however encouraged by OldFloss & CBDB that S&F is necessary to prevent injury ..I have found the rites work well for me!! I am so grateful for this help and encouragement! Thank you!!

awwwhhh! Yes, in its 5 poses, it covers quite a bit of the key parts of the body. Also, attending gently to the spine feels wonderful, I think.

[Oldfloss Administrator in reply to Annieapple]

Go you... doing it and enjoying it! x

Day 6 done ☑️ 👏🙌🤜🤛💥

I did 7 repetitions of the moves and found that number ok! And these have become a firm part of my morning routine now, so I will continue on with them 👏 but will also be doing yoga and I’m going to try Pilates too!

Thank you CBDB for introducing me to these! 🙏

👏👏👏👍🏽🙏🧘🏽‍♂️

Yoga is ace... try the Yoga with Adriene... there is I think a new Challenge in July... maybe CBDB will know... she is or Yoga organiser x

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Oldfloss]

yes, the monthly Yoga calendar will come out just a few days before the next month begins! Yoga with Adriene is great!

[ToothPickJafah 30D Graduate in reply to CBDB]

I’ve been doing yoga on and off for the past 4 years and started off with chair yoga then I found Adriene. I enjoyed her videos for a couple of years but after a time I found she talked a little too much for my liking, she’s a great instructor but not for me unfortunately 🫣 don’t come for me!! 🙈 just a personal preference! 🤷‍♀️😆

I stopped for a wee while and now I’m currently doing Yoga with Tim, I find his voice is so relaxing, and I’ve recently been recommended Yoga with Kassandra by a friend so I’ll be giving her a wee go soon too.

I often like to look up traditional classic yoga classes and I’ve dabbled a bit with chanting and meditation. Meditation was a massive help to calm the storms in my mind and heart while I was recovering from treatment 🤗

💜🙏💜

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to ToothPickJafah]

lol she does, doesn’t she! 🤣🤣

Yes, I’ve got yoga with Tim bookmarked. I have in the past found more women yogis than men on YouTube , so that’s a great find!

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold]

yup, done ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

Nicely set up to head to work.

[Oldfloss Administrator]

HUGE ticks for me.. Day 6 done...inside today as we have wet stuff coming from the sky.. the earth welcomes it ... with gratitude.

I have done the five... and enjoyed ...I gardened here yesterday, so the simple, but effective rites were helpful!

The back benefits too are quite surprising.. ! On we go!

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Oldfloss]

huge tick! And during the rains! Everything wins! 🌧️🌳🌧️🌳🌧️🌳🌧️🌳

[Niteflite]

I’ve done the day 6 poses. Much better than yesterday when I seemed to have howling dervishes of the storm right outside my window! Today was peaceful and I could go at my own pace (slow). I’ll probably incorporate them into my other yoga exercises.

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Niteflite]

Nice! As long as you don’t become a spinning dervish!

[Niteflite in reply to CBDB]

I did the full 7 reps today. The spinning was a bit 😵‍💫😵‍💫 but that's my fault for going too fast! My back feels great, I think I'll stick with this routine. It's so easy to fit in. Not sure whether I'll keep on increasing the number of reps though, 21 seems a bit excessive 😂 I might give 9 reps a go. Thanks for introducing us to the 5 rites CBDB 👍😊

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Beatlesforever]

fabulous!!! Yes, I think the biggest benefits I have felt are in my spinal column! Less stiff!

[Wine 30D Graduate]

I did the 6 today with adjustments... I will continue to do the Rites as they are so straight fwd... I remembered the order today... What a brilliant challenge... Can't wait for tomorrow

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold]

Brilliant! 🥰☺️👏👏👏
