Pre-Yoga 0 for 30

Tomorrow I will be starting Life Time Fitness 30 days of Yoga program.

Yoga Towel: Check
Lululemon Pants: Check
People to keep me on task: Meh. More of a personal motivation.

I think my down dog is in a decent place and i am starting to build more endurance in my arms and shoulders. It's a good challenge to keep me into things for January like I need more to do!

Now I need to makes some goals of where I want to be at the end of the 30 days. Part of this is to describe 30 days from a male's perspective and to try and analyze the kinds of difference one might see in yoga and other forms of exersize such as weight lifting. I am trying not to let it affect my crossfit training too but when my schedule is Yoga/Tennis/Crossfit/Broomball, that''s a lot of stuff. But all in all here's my top 3 goals:

1. Do a head stand no problem

2. Hold Wheel pose for over 10 seconds

3. Bird of Paradise pose

(optional 4th goal: Touch my toes without bending my knees)

(hopeful 5th goal: Improve core strength and core apprearance.... ooh 6 packs :)  ) 

I really need to work on hamstrings, as a runner and hockey player this is probably my tightest spot, I am intrigued to see how much 30 days of Yoga will improve overall hamstring flexibility. Well off we go!
