Had a good swim. Took me ages to get in, but once I got my breathing right it was sweet.
Back feels good, heading home for hot shower and stretch once I pick up the little one from pre-school!

Cheers mate. 6 weeks today since the op.
I'm being smart about it. Patience isn't one of my strong points, so I'm finding it hard!
Thanks again mate. ?
 
Yoga session in half hour! Ha! This will be interesting. Hopefully I can manage all the moves and be allowed to join a real class! Haha sounds like I'm applying for parole or something!
 
Good stuff! Hope she's a hottie! lol

Yoga is haaard L! The poses are difficult for most beginners & extremely difficult to hold. It gets easier though & definitely helps with flexibility & mobility, very therapeutic!

Look forward to the update lol
 
It went well.
One of the forward bending moves I had a little issue with, but everything else was fine. She was surprised how flexible I was and that I had a good 'connection to my body'. Playing sport for ever probably has something to do with that!
I enjoyed it.
She met my wife and daughter which was cool too. The session was in our lounge room! Haha!
She had a Ferrari chassis, that's for sure. She's 49 and in amazing shape, yoga pants all that!! Hahah.
Beginners class starts next Wednesday!
Not sure if its bikram mate
 
Bikram is done in 40 degree heat & you sweat like a mofo. Its a form of Hatha though.

Most yoga instructors have great bodies. Well done L! I'm impressed with your flexibility too if the downward poses are the only ones you found challenging!

Good stuff.
I love yoga :p And I love men who do yoga! Impressive. lol

Went through that twice. Feel good. Followed by a thorough stretch, ankles to head!
 
Yoga was great the other night. Only 6 people in the class. The instructor had the class run sheet and has written down alternative exercises for me when the class were doing the bending ones. I felt great afterwards and learnt a lot too. Like different stretches and not to be too self conscious. Everyone there is a beginner like me!
Had a swim at the ocean pool last night for an hour this time (plenty of stops though) and feel good.
 
Top workout this morning.
Back feels good. Stretching like never before every night and a very thorough warm-up before training.

Heading to beach for long ocean swim. Have my flippers today, looks rough out there. Will swim one lap of beach then run back to car. Close to 1km swim and 1km sand run. Nothing too smashing, had a good session this morning, I just want to see where my body is at
 
Swim was tough!! Got a bit nervous as I was out a fair way at one point, so swam toward shore then along. Was tin fruited after the swim and had the run back, which was about 1500m. Back pulled up well, had a long stretch asap and then went out for dinner. Tired this morning, but back is ok, which is the main thing!
