I do Aikido, a non violent Japanese martial art. My teacher does yoga for her crosstraining and she bike rides! She's even got a custom Eisentraut! Anyway our warmups include Yoga poses but I can't honestly say I do Yoga and flexibility is my Achiles heel. I'd like to do more. This should be my "major" sport, been at it close to 30 years and I do love it. Yet when I'm in the dojo, nice weather and see cyclists whizz by I almost bolt for the door and my training partners complain that i whine a lot then ;-)
I'll have to try the opposite; bike past the dojo and do I feel like "I wanna be in there". I think I would. I'm flu'ish today and just found out one of my favorite instructors is staying at and training in our school for a while, as if I didn't feel bad enough already.
Thanks gals for reminding me...hey, It's all crosstraining!
If I get off BART early enough I walk part way to work.
Gym or walk near the lake at lunch which takes some care, I have to watch that I don't get to lunch time hungry or I just wanna **eat**. So I keep tea, lots of water and lots of healthy snacks at my desk.
I was doing the occaisional spin class but my favorite spin instructor has quit my gym and I do not like her replacement so we'll see....
I looooove to swim and would like to work that in somehow.
I have a dog and try to walk her twice a day. My patio is very small and Mae is only now getting so she does not go Cujo notso dog when she see's another dog. She's a pound pet and has made great strides, she's a different dog than I adopted and I'm very proud of her. but I'm not sure she's ready for another dog.
