    And this is why I'm so poor at structured challenges...as much as I want to do them, life gets in the way. Have been uber busy since Friday. I did manage to do an hour of cleaning tonight (vacuuming and wiping down the kitchen counters and appliances), but it was hit or miss for the list/day. I might just have to use the list as just that...my list of cleaning to do's...maybe not in any specific order though...we'll see if I can eventually get back on track.

    1-10 : finally got caught up today. Will have to group the next few days all together on Sunday or Monday.

    Sun salutations get me out of bed in the morn. Good on those daily.

    Happy challenges all, seeing some dedication! Have fun and carry on!

    To the Sun Salutations Troops... I have never done yoga and was thinking of trying a few of the exercises out. Not as part of the challenge, just to see if I can personally really.

    I'm really inflexibly and some of the moves looks... well TERRIFYING! Does anyone have any pointers for newbies to yoga??

    Thank you :-D

    Hi skipper. Nice to see you are curious to try yoga. It is very rewarding and noncompetitive. You only do what your body is comfortable with and the poses start to change for you over time. There are definitely modifications to full poses that you can do to start you off. You could also break a sun salutation up into its individual poses for awhile before putting them althogether.

    This link has a great description of all I just said and more. It looks really good.

    If there is any beginner yoga or hatha yoga class in your area that has a seasoned teacher it may be good and fun to try. :).
