Yoga by Design

Growing up, I was constantly into sports (Volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball, flag football) and did not think it was necessary to workout. The sports participation would keep me in shape. I was wrong. Unfortunately, it took triple bypass surgery (changing my diet), two hip replacements (walking not running) into my 60s to finally realize working out IS necessary. I was active (treadmill, pingpong, weight machines,Tai Chi and ballroom dancing) until I was 77 years old. By that age after the activities, i would ache, have a sore lower back after sitting for long periods and jump out of bed in the middle of the night with leg cramps. A friend at DAC suggested Yoga, I said it starts too early for me and jumping around is not my thing. He said "THE USUAL", try it you will like it. KAZAM, Absolutely does the job. My aches and pains (Especially the back pains and the leg cramps) are gone. I am 78 and enjoying life to the fullest. I do complain and moan during yoga, BUT THE END RESULT IS WELL WORTH IT. I attend class 3 times a week and intend to do it at home the other 4 days. I AM HOOKED
