The Cure for Ansomnia

Mar 3, 2010 3:42pm

For anybody out there having trouble sleeping . . . I have the solution. It's called P90X and let me tell you–it works. Of course the really bad part is that I can't even stay awake to watch all of American Idol which is really bumming me out. Today was...

YogaDudes March 2010 Desktop Calendar

Mar 1, 2010 5:53am

This month was a tough one. It's too early to feature flowers, although I really want to hurry Spring along. And I don't want to see anymore snow . . . So here is some simple scenery to distract us while we wait one more month 'til Spring. Just click...

My Rest Theory Was Proven

Feb 28, 2010 2:08pm

So after my Friday rest day and my stellar P90X performance on Saturday morning, I further proved my theory today. I had so much energy after my work-out yesterday that I decided to take a nice hike in the slippery snow. I’m not sure if it was the hike or...

The Importance of Rest Day

Feb 27, 2010 1:43pm

Yesterday was the first P90X Rest Day that I actually really rested. I almost always take the rest night off from P90, but I usually still do a lunch time work out. But yesterday I was too busy preparing my next yoga lesson (on paper) and I decided that it...

Early Observations from Year 3 of P90X

Feb 25, 2010 9:07am

I’m just about finished with the second week of P90X and once again, I sailed through it. The only observation (besides me thinking that it’s too easy) that I made was how impatient I’m becoming watching the videos. I guess all of Tony’s humorous banter was fun the first time...

Acacia Rocks

Feb 18, 2010 5:53am

I just love Acacia . . . everything about them. I love their beautiful catalogs and I find that I covet them like my favorite (yoga) magazines. I can't bring myself to throw them away. I keep them nearby and look at them over and over. Just looking at all...

Something Must Be Wrong

Feb 16, 2010 4:23pm

OK, something must be wrong. Why is it that I'm breezing through the start of my third season of P90X? I got through Core Synergistics, Cardio, Shoulders & Arms, and now the most dreaded . . . Yoga, without batting an eyelash. I haven't been sore at all and so...

Yoga Keeping Me Fit

Feb 15, 2010 3:18pm

And on the subject of yoga keeping me fit . . . I just got a heart rate monitor and have been using it during my P90X work-outs. I never tracked my heart rate before and I’m still new to the numbers. I’m not quite sure what is high, low,...

The Start of P90X Season III

Feb 14, 2010 3:57pm

This weekend began my third season of P90X. But wait a minute, I must state one small disclaimer . . . I’m not 100% committed to doing the entire grueling 90 days straight like I have for the past 2 years. I decided to take a more laid back approach...

Rock Goes Zen

Feb 10, 2010 8:24am

I just stumbled across a web site selling meditation CDs, but they are the most unique, and quite frankly, the coolest meditation CDs that I ever heard. They have taken modern popular rock songs and turned them into gentle relaxing mixes. I just loved this concept so much that I...

YogaDudes Gets a Face Lift

Feb 1, 2010 5:13am

I just realized that this almost has a double meaning. Not only did I get my first facial chemical peel last week, improving the appearance of my skin and face, but the YogaDudes web site under went a complete overhaul. It was time a fresh new, cleaner, simpler look. Let...

Mission Accomplished

Jan 27, 2010 11:58am

I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time . . . the day that I can say my first experience teaching yoga is behind me. I guess I saw this as an initiation; sort of like using clip-in pedals for the first time. You know you’re gonna forget...

This is Good News

Jan 12, 2010 3:49pm

I wish I could say that I’ve been diligently working on building my beginner’s yoga class for my upcoming teacher stint. I’ve been trying so hard at not letting myself get all stressed out about my first ever teaching job that my total avoidance of the subject is really paying...

Starting Off the New Year Right

Jan 4, 2010 6:25am

In addition to my usual resolutions of taking my vitamins and drinking more water, I decided that I will try to eat at least one item from this list (below) of the healthiest foods. Each one helps the body in different ways. Perhaps I will make a game out of...

This is Embarrassing

Dec 30, 2009 8:16am

Should I admit this? Not sure it will help boost my credentials as a fitness expert, but here goes . . . I got the Wii for Christmas . . . (yes, I'm a little behind the times.) and after playing with it for a couple of hours over the...
