When I asked y’all what you were looking for in the Blissfully Domestic Forums everyone was great at replying. I got a lot of great post ideas and saw a lot of similar themes. One of the themes? How do I get started??

It can seem a little intimidating to jump in to a fitness routine. You can’t go from couch to 45 minutes a day tomorrow. But you can ease in to it about 20 minutes every other day in a wonderful introduction to strength training based solely on your own muscles: Yoga.

In the comfort of my own home, I was able to take up Beginning Yoga. I started at 10-15 minutes every other morning before the kiddo woke up. I worked out with Rodney Yee faithfully. I never found another teacher as great as his Total Body Workout. I got sore. I got strong. It wasn’t overwhelming and it fit my schedule.

What more can you ask for?

It worked

That DVD combined with a 20-30 minute walk twice a week helped me rid myself of my baby weight. It literally took 3 hours a week total. I’m working out with more intensity now, but this plan was my gateway drug to my old body. And I promise, it’ll feel great once you try it. Call me your yoga pimp. One hit and you’ll be hooked.
