plenzmd1 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Going to my first Hot Yoga class today. Committed to doing some TRIs this year, and I am just so fat and inflexible and old that this has been recommended by friends and professionals alike. I am scared as hell about it, as yoga in some home training classes I have done makes me wanna cry. Anyone any experience with this stuff? Advice/caution before I begin?

Buffalo_Gal Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 You are going to your first yoga class away from home and you chose to do hot yoga!? If I were religious, I'd say a prayer for you. Since I am not religious, I will just send you off with my best wishes (listen to all the "before" instructions you were given for your beginner hot yoga class including (especially) the hydration instructions).

I am hoping to do about 30% ..and I am not kidding there. Hydration i get, and I drink plenty of water as a matter of course, so should be okay. My first TRI i did was a Half Ironman, six months after I quit smoking for twenty years and age 45..people thought I was nuts then too not doing anything shorter to start!! And they were right!!! But I did make it, but it was kinda stoopid!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I think 30% is a great goal! Best wishes! This may make you think the TRI was a piece of cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a doubt in my mind, regular yoga is the HARDEST exercise I have ever done in my life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jauronimo Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Tip, don't wear your pink polo, Vineyard Vines plaid shorts, or cardigan to hot yoga. Downward dog is NOT consent. Flatulence is natural in certain positions so don't try to hold it in. Do your best to contain and conceal erections. I assume you're really doing this to meet women. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
