Accept for the first pose these are all my favorites. Thanks Chris!

I really hate criminals some days more than others. Armed robbery is going to get them all some serious time in the pen. Hopefully before anyone is harmed.

What? You so posted it for us! And now you are putting out the cushions! Muahaha. Help I've fallen and can't get up! Wish I could see it. But seriously, that is one I love. Do the chair pose if that one is not doable. You can do it with hands in the prayer position and twist to each side. :drinker:

Going to get ready for the walking dead. I will do these during commercials!

What is a sundial salutation? I Googled it and pretty much everything that came up looks like something with one leg going up behind the arm on that side of the body and the other hand reaching over the head grabbing the foot. My skeleton doesn't bend that way, haha! And it's totally different from the picture.

I'm guessing you rotate at the trunk with your arms as pictured above?

Not gonna lie, I fell on my bum during one of those triangle poses. But I had no trouble with any of the others.

So, I noticed something - the ones that suggest holding the pose for 40 seconds seem to be poses that need to be done on both sides of the body, whereas the 20-second poses don't. Does this mean the 40-second poses are 20 seconds on each side? I did 40 on each side.

Tennis practice this evening for 60 minutes and I got in 10,355 steps for 4.13 miles. I've been up since 3:30 am so I'm headed to bed. I'm going to try the challenge again tomorrow. Maybe it well be a little easier this time...but I doubt it.

Good night,
Kathy

I went to the park today and got in 11,219 steps for 4.46 miles. I've decided yoga is just not me...no flexibility.

Goodnight
Kathy

Oh my, I am so behind! But at least I am not totally falling onto my behind! Muahaha

Great job Kathy. Sounds like you are doing lots of "firsts". And Kathy, do the yoga. It will make getting older easier. True story. Baby steps. Just do the ones that are more stretching at first. Do not hold the poses for as long. Do not expect too much out of yourself. My first experience with palates with a friend and I lying on our backs laughing until tears rolled and hiccups followed. We were on our backs because that is where we kept landing! And yoga socks help, or bare feet.

I have loved reading all of your stories about the falling here ladies. Did you ever play Twister as kids? It was so easy back then. I did Denise Austin's Yoga Butt tonight and the above challenge. No it was not perfect, far from graceful even. But I did laugh a bit. Am I missing something about sundial salutation? It was easy for me. Must be doing it wrong. And I love yoga squat. Been doing it for a while. I love the way it used to be stressful for me. Now I just sit there and go side to side, up on my toes. Muahaha

Anyways "Kat" private messaged me today. Said she was coming back. I loved having her around. And love her photo still.

PS Michelle, you count those minutes any way you want. Do not listen to Chris, she cannot count! Remember the "Mountain Climbers" Chris & Paula?
