Joining the Dark Side

Most of you know that I have always complained about my back being stiff and tight. I've tried chiropractor, back doctor, massage, swimming, jucuzzi, etc. While each of those would provide some very short periods of relief,the pain would quite often come right back the next day.

Being a nice guy I am, I naively let Anita convince me to go to the Yoga classes with her that's offered at work. In my mind, Yoga is such a chick sport (should it even be considered a sport), and how is moving around on a piece of mat going to help your back?? But then again, since it's free, I decided to check it out anyway.

I have gone to two sessions so far this week, and surprisingly the outcome has been quite positive. Each session really worked me out. I woke up the next day and my arms, shoulders, hamstrings, abs, and thighs were all sore! I don't think I've ever sweat so much in my life from just standing at the same spot for an hour. For those of you who have jacked up backs, I highly recommend trying out Yoga. And don't be afraid of going just because you're a guy... 40% of the class were guys when I went, and I was more flexible than most of them!

Anyhow, I have officially joined the dark side with Anita. Our plan is to convince Abe and Dan to join it as well.

Oooh.. and you know the picture at the top right? One of the students was doing that during the session today! She's craaaaaaaazy!
