Adding a yoga routine in for my non weighted days. Any recommendations on beginning yoga at the house? I want more flexibility, and it also helps build the stabilization muscles.
Diamond Dallas page has a yoga program and he swears it will change your life.
MMA guys swear by it also. I'm like the least flexible person.
Heres one I just did. God I have no flexibility
If you have a Roku or Amazon Prime there are a ton of different Yoga flows available.
I like the Gymbox that's available. John Cottrell is a good one on the Gymbox, his flows are good, some are tough.
Daily Burn also has some yoga on it that is pretty good.
But there are a ton out there.
My wife and I were doing a hour of Yoga and day at home and I felt great....we tapered off and need to start again.

It's not all patchouli and granola, it's flexibility, which helps with preexisting injuries, prevents others, mindfulness, being aware of your body and what's around you, helps with stress, lowers blood pressure, controlling your breathing, etc.
I don't want bulk, lean muscle and flexibility is what prevents injuries and makes sure I have a long career.
I'm a fat guy and I've won many a bet with a fireman about being able to hold a side angle plank.

Flexibility is highly overrated.
This came up on the other forum a few years back.

Are you actually Joe Rogan in disguise?
Haha, no just a fan
First keto, then kettlebells, now yoga. I watch his podcast and I recognize all of that.
For him yoga is a mental game, not a flexibility exercise.
My "work out" consists of stationary bike to start and a mix of stretching, light weights, and body weight stuff (crunches and push ups). It's nothing fancy, but the stretching part makes me feel far better than the weight stuff. My job is physical enough to count for lifting. I also have a back injury that I've never considered structural but couldn't get it figured out.
I found a couple piriformis stretches and muscles release activities that have nearly changed my life. If I keep up with them I can get the back pain to nearly zero, and hoping to re train the muscles to get rid of it completely. If you have old injuries that cause muscle tightness you will probably have to find ways to "release" those muscles first. After I get off the bike I go straight to the piriformis stuff to release the low back muscles. The difference it has made in my stretches is insane.

You don't know pain until you've spent time using a foam roller for Self Myofacial Release.... although I get the concept of masochism now, hurts but feels incredible when you are done.

My wife is disabled, 17 level fusion, T2-S1. She is looking I that to see if it will help her with her core.Diamond Dallas page has a yoga program and he swears it will change your life.
DDP sure looks smaller than when he was wrestling. I'm sure some of that could be no roids.My wife is disabled, 17 level fusion, T2-S1. She is looking I that to see if it will help her with her core.
Seriously, you would do good to have a 20-30 minute routine on non weight lifting days, and a smaller 10 minute routine on weight lifting days. A light 10 minute routine on weight days will do a lot to alieve soreness.Adding a yoga routine in for my non weighted days. Any recommendations on beginning yoga at the house?

I use a tee ball to release the piriformis. You basically sit on it and move it around between the hip and spine. First couple of days, wow did that hurt. Now, not too bad and afterwards, yeah feels good. But it's the only thing I have found that will get deep enough to get to the muscles that are tight.
Sean Vigue is a good resource. His book on Power Yoga is great. When I blew out my neck i messaged him and he gave some advice. Try this routine first.

Lacrosse balls..... will make you see and feel things you've never felt before
That was what was suggested. But tee balls are easier to find. Might look for lacrosse balls if I get to Academy. It's not a big thing around here though.
Here's a 30 day thing they have, seems decent.
