I took my child to the library this afternoon. I had spent the better part of an hour using the online card catalog trying to find books for both of us (I must have been successful...I checked out 15 books today...) When we first got in, I guided her to the Juvenile Non-Fiction section. While I was looking for books on my list, she picked up a book called The Kids' Yoga Book of Feelings. It was the first thing she pulled out of the bag when we got home, and she quickly went through the book, trying to copy the pictures of the poses.
One pose is called the chameleon. You and a friend are supposed to face each other and do the cobra pose (laying on your stomach, put your hands by your shoulders and lift up, bending at your hips. Everything below your hips stays on the floor while you stretch your upper body towards the ceiling.) Then, she wanted to exercise together.
Since she's sooooo interested in yoga, I grabbed my never-before-used-but-been-in-the-house-for-about-two-years copy of The Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga dvd. Rolled out the yoga mats and programmed the workout for Warm-Up (5 min), Level 1 (20 min), and Cool Down (5 min).
DD (that's "Dear Daughter") gave out (got bored?) before the warm up was over. I made it about 5 minutes into the workout, muscles sore and shaking. Goal tomorrow: get farther into it. (Do this earlier! When it's cooler!)
At some point I should note that I did get 5105 steps the other day. Need to get more.... One day at a time.
