Exactly a month ago, I wrote a blog post about wanted to be challenged here. Well, I actually did start a challenge of my own to get back into shape and my health up to par. Towards the Spring of my grade twelve year, I read about hot yoga and I got interested in it so I went by myself to try it out. It was brutal alright-the extreme heat, the moves, the stretches, my mind telling me to quit! It was even hard listening to the instructor telling us what to do. But, I liked it, it felt like a great workout afterwards despite feeling sore for a few days.
From that initial trial, I tried to go once a week before grad, but that became harder and harder as University and life got in the way, and the cost adds up too. This year I hardly went at all, but having sat so much I felt really unfit and ridiculously lazy. So halfway through my exams on April 19, I decided to buy a one month unlimited pass to challenge myself further. I didn't know if I could do it, would I lose motivation? would I give up and end up wasting money?
Well, since I am blogging about this, I'm happy to say I made it through. I actually went EIGHTEEN times in these past 31 days. I know... o.O! For those of you I brought to bikram before, your probably like... she's nuts. I guess I really do like this excercise, and its not boring since your always doing a different posture. Having gone sort of regularly in the past month, I also see changes in my health. My blood pressure is up (though still on the low side, but at least its higher) and I feel I have more energy throughout the day. I also feel stronger, thanks to muscle build up.
