I did the Hotpod yoga for the NHS last week and donated. It was really good, I think they raised over £100k in the end. I do far too much cardio and should do more yoga but I enjoy cardio more. I have a lot of stamina but not much flexibility.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

The stretches actually made my lower back feel quite good. I feel as though I'm rather 'compacted' these days! I love my headphones too! They have an excellent sound. I'm still faffing around with them, but again I should have eaten the 🐸 much earlier. The tech wasn't as bad as feared!😀moving_forward said:Sun_Addict said:I did the Hotpod yoga for the NHS last week and donated. It was really good, I think they raised over £100k in the end. I do far too much cardio and should do more yoga but I enjoy cardio more. I have a lot of stamina but not much flexibility.So apart from the stretches, walk and deciphering the headphones, I finished the cleaning jobs. I ended up clearing out two of the kitchen drawers as certain things seemed to have ended up in the wrong drawer! They now make a lot more sense - utensils I use the most like stick blender, colander etc are in the top drawer and other less used bits in the lower drawer.Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

What stretches do you do please? I have lower back problems so would probally benefit.On @HairyHandofDartmoor's diary she started some gentle yoga exercises using Barbara Currie's 7 Secrets of Yoga DVD which prompted me to dust off my own copy. The exercises are in 10 minute segments for different parts of the body. I've started with the 10 Minute Miracle Beginners section which are nice stretches for little old inflexible me!🧘🧘🧘🧘Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟
