Hi Ladies,
Just a few words about Dean Pohlman..... He's on YouTube (Man Flow Yoga) if any of you want to try his stuff out. His DVDs are also available on Amazon. https://www.youtube.com/user/ManFlowYoga His practices are targeted towards men, and the sets sometimes have a gym vibe. But his workouts are especially good for someone new to yoga, the aging population, people who sit all the time, beginners, and everyone really. His Back Care Yoga has a practice for stretching with blocks and straps and he's very detailed in his explanation. The strengthening practices work on (Extension or Flexion) and so good for people who sit and need that opening up (Extension) or just on spine mobility with (Flexion.) He's very good, though doesn't mirror cue. This one is very gentle, easy going and slow paced holding stretches for a long time (stretching segment.) Yoga Boost is excellent, too! There are four practices (Sharpen, Strengthen, Sweat, Stretch) on this DVD and each are about 20 minutes each. I've done Sharpen and Strengthen recently and liked both. I'll try the others this week and let you know. Yoga Fix has Five Days of 20 minute gentle practices, all with a slightly different focus. Love this one, too! Yoga Vitality is a chair yoga practice aimed at older, injured or inflexible beginners. They move slower and are a little more rehab and restorative in nature. There is a modifier who does everything standing, also. Yoga Charge has four daily 20 minute practice meant to be done throughout your day into evening. My most used will probably be the Rise AM practice, as well as the PM practice. There are a number of other workouts (all reviewed very highly) on Amazon. One is geared toward Athletes, Power Yoga, Yoga Max, Yoga Edge. He has a very gentle nature and there's not the ego that so many male yoga instructors have. His explanation is top notch and he does so much for hips and lower body that are my favorites.

Hi Everyone,
I am struggling a bit w/ my workouts - I just don't have the energy or motivation lately, I think it is b/c I just have a lot going on - work is busy/crazy and my mind is cluttered w/ a lot of items related to my DD going off to college - things to arrange, do, etc. which are mostly for her to do but as a parent you can't help but worry about it all, too. I know things will work themselves out, but just a lot of mind clutter about it. Anyway as a result of those factors I just haven't been overly motivated to workout lately and w/ work being so busy right now I'm finding it hard to even carve out 20 min to do a short video or walk mid day. Yesterday DD and I ended up taking a very short walk, so that was good. It is a darn shame I'm so busy b/c the weather this week has been perfect. This morning, so far, I did: Yoga w/ Adriene - Yoga for Upper Body Strength - this was tough - a lot of planks and push-ups! It was only 13 min so I wanted a little more and added on her 12 Min Core Conditioning which was also tough! I modified the Core work to move at a slower pace and even substituted some of the exercises. Anyway it was nice to re-visit Adriene. I think I prefer her monthly calendars to her "challenges". I looked at this playlist today: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...qrciUPc9O6zkJG She does a monthly playlist every month. I hope to walk outdoors today or maybe get in another day of LWR's Summer Challenge. Pam - thanks for the info on Dean - I subscribed to his channel! Sherry - it sounds like things are coming along on the home improvements. Hope everyone has a good day!!! Donna |
