Its getting hot in here!!!

Bad news...not playing flag football this week. For some reason, guys like to play  in the rain and on muddy fields. I do not mind playing in the cold but cold and wet is another issue. Luckily, (at least I thought I was lucky), I came across a deal that offers 15 Bikram yoga classes for $25; which I thought was a steal. I am thinking its just regular yoga; you do the tree, a warrior pose and some downward dog. To my surprise, it is yoga that is practiced in a room heated to 105°F with a humidity of 40%.  I am a little intimidated (and I have asthma), so it will be interesting to see how my first session turns out. Any who, I know many of us do not want to pay much money for gym memberships and often times do not use them. Check out services like Groupon, Redeemio and LivingSocial Deals, that provide tremendous deals on things in your area; especially cool exercise classes. The other week, they offered four spin classes or yoga classes for $1.


Well.....wish me luck...I'm off to hot yoga! 

Flag vs Tackle

So...I have been having a major problem finding the physical activity that works best for me. I am no where near over weight but I know the benefit of a good 3 mile jog and a couple of laps around the pool. Unfortunately, I have no desire to do either of those things. 

So the other day, I decide to try something new. I practically went kicking and screaming but thank goodness I went anyway. I arrived to the field and I was handed a belt with red flags hanging around it. Yep...co-ed flag football! At first, I was a little apprehensive...I did not know where to run, and I definitely did not know what they meant by playing zone or man. 

Half way through the game, I was feeling great. I was running  and I even caught the ball a couple of time. Go figure! It was the most refreshed I have felt in a long time.

Needless to say, for the next 5 days I was in pain...silly me, I forgot to stretch. Despite the 5 days of pain, I will definitely be hitting the field tomorrow. I only wish we could actually tackle one another....the flag thing is such a bore.

Don't be afraid to try something...you never know what may come of it.....Look at me, I'm playing co-ed flag football!
