issues with pain???

This might be a given to some, but if you are anything like me then it isn't. I am very over weight, by about 80-90 pounds. I have tried eating better & working out, always with a lot of success. But I always fall off the wagon because of the pain I have while trying to get into the routine of exercising. I have problems with my back, a lot because of my weight but also because I have scoliosis. Not the kind with the S in your spine but the curve in my back is at a 47 degree when it is only suppose to be 20-30 degrees. I get pains else where-neck, hips, feet, ect. I have even seen physical therapist because of these issues. I have been working out & eating right for about a month now. I have lost 7.4 pounds, 3 inches around my waist, & several inches in other areas of my body. Getting lazy & tired are not the things that have stopped me before, it was the pain. Well I started taking a yoga class & have also been doing it at home. Let me tell you it makes a WORLD of difference. The yoga class is only once a week but I do yoga, at home, in the morning & at night. The morning one is for common conditions, including weight management. The yoga I do at night is for body pains. I have been able to work out 5 days a week no problems! A lot of the time I work out 6, or even 7, days a week.

So if you are like me & have issues with pain keeping you from exercise I highly recommend doing yoga! It takes time to get use to, & trust me it will seem hard & painful at first, but stick with it & it seriously will pay off!!! It's hard to forget about life & just listen to your body but when you do your body will thank you for it!!!! I am so excited this weight loss is going to be way easier.
