Well, I will say this about a tux. If you go just about anywhere and do just about anything, you’re considerably less likely to have your motives and actions questioned. :-D

Yes, women have it worse. I performed as an opera singer (where costumes are provided for us) but as a concert soloist, my soprano and mezzo-soprano colleagues most certainly had us guys beat on money spent for gowns and shoes (because, we never spent money on gowns, you see... well, most of us didn’t anyway...)

Awesome kinetic chain alignment!

In response to “I don’t know why anybody would buy a tux.” Classical musicians have to wear formal wear nearly every time we perform.

OF course every one has their own tastes, but my favorite “snacking apple” is the Empire apple. Full of yum!

I have Ghostery and AdBlockPlus. I don’t see ads :) I only mentioned it to point out how these Yoga instructors get some revenue for sharing their knowledge.

Ha, Melanie, for a moment there, I thought there was some new product called “Gmail Now”

Yes, there are some high quality yoga teachers who freely (with ads) publish their lessons on YouTube, so it’s a great place to start. Admittedly, I’ve never taken a yoga class with an instructor. That would be the most beneficial, because they can help position you to where you need to be, which is something that you…

That is outstanding! Have you ever seen a Chinese Acrobats show (well, any acrobatics... why discriminate?) Superhuman!

Any social network is only as good as the people that you allow into it :)

I love your positivity, Kristin!!!! Nearly every LH suggestion gets met with some form of “why would I/anyone do/want this!?” I think people sometimes forget that most of the people on the planet aren’t them and might actually find use or even joy in the things they don’t.

Yoga X is pretty intense. It always bugged me that it was the ONLY workout that didn’t have a “cues only” audio track, so I ripped the DVD, downloaded my own Yoga music, fired it up in Premiere Pro and carefully edited out all of Tony’s jibba jabba except for the cues. It made for a MUCH better yoga experience where I…

LOL Stephanie, for sure! I started working on crow on med balls a while back after I got very comfy with crow. I’ve seen many videos of colleagues going headfirst into a pillow. I never used a pillow, because I evidently like the taste of floor.

When I was doing more yoga, I had Scorpion pose as one of my goals... then when on to other things fitness wise and couldn’t put in the practice. One of my friends kept at it, and she’s got it down now. So cool to have seen her progression.

Scissors... the jars are plastic :)

Hate to break it to you, but gymnastic exercises are, while flashy and possibly pretentious, legit exercises. To have that kind of control doesn’t just focus on one muscle group, but the entire body has to be involved and in sync all the way down to the “stabilizer” muscles. I don’t know how the guys look at your gym,…

Thanks. :)

Thanks, Claire, yeah, it was sad, but we found him right away. He hadn’t sealed the jar opening, so he was able breathe. Lesson learned. We have lost a dog before due to an accident in the home. You try to think of everything you can to give them a safe, loving environment, but you just don’t know what they’re going…

We started cutting ours up after we found one of the dogs (Pomeranian) got his head stuck in the jar.

I’m trying to find my edge again. I used to get up at 5:30 and go hard first thing in the morning. Yah, I know we got articles around here, but I think I’ve fallen victim to the prescription drug cartels. Side effects: increased appetite. Thank God for my Group Ex classes that I teach, but I’ve GOT to lay the…
