On Saturday, I wanted to stretch out a bit before attempting yoga. So, I ran a very slow 30 minutes (about 1.7 miles) on the treadmill. Then, I did started in on my yoga workout. It was still challenging. My legs felt like jello for the last 10 minutes. And afterwards, I was exhausted.
I used to think that running and aerobic exercises were the only way to get a good workout. But I've learned that the slow, focused movements of yoga and pilates has really helped to tone, sculpt and define my muscles. I feel stronger in my daily activity as well as calmer and more relaxed.
