Is Yoga a good exercise?

I need to continue to improve my flexibility beyond my pre and post lift stretches

Hell yes! Just look up Adrienne yoga. She has a ton of free videos on Youtube. I feel my best when doing yoga 2+Xs per week.

Yoga is great

I am so bad at it I generally avoid it

I did some yoga yesterday (I just put out a mat in the living room and stream something on the TV) for about 35 minutes... kicked my arse and I was pouring sweat.

It’s a great workout. If you’re looking more for flexibility look at like a “Yoga for Cyclists, Yoga for Runners, or Yoga for Swimmers” a they are more stretching based. However traditional yoga is a great core workout and if you’re into meditation like me it enhances your ability to breath under stressful situations greatly. Also, check “Eric Goodman Foundation Training” as an arse kicking 12 minute yoga-esque workout.

Yes. You can do videos but first go to a class a few times so you know how its really supposed to be done. Get an instructor who will correct your poses and stretches during class.

Try Bikram yoga if you want your arse kicked. It has changed my life for the better.

I’ve never been in better shape than the summer at LSU when I took the weight lifting class on tues/thurs and yoga on mon/wed/fri. The combination of the two workouts was perfect.
