This image, while not taken during exercise, puts me in mind of how much I’ve looked down at the ground this week. Whether on my hands and knees, bottom up a downward dog posed or bent right over. This week, I’ve tried my hand (and feet) at yoga after a long break. Very quickly I’ve realised I need to take the 30 day programme at a slower pace. The first indication was when I went swimming and muscles I’d forgotten about hurt like hell. Of course it’s not a race, it’s part of a whole programme of change I’m trying to introduce to may life. One thing I can do pretty well though is to bend right over. I have no problem with that, especially when instructed to do so!
And it’s such a lovely bottom to bend over with!!!

Take it easy, started back with simple yoga this week too. I forgot how hard isotonic exercises can be! One step at a time. It will come back, slowly.
You are right and I am definitely taking it slowly.
One of the things I love about yoga is that you can take it at a slow steady pace and adapt it to your own level. Even thought I have been doing it a while now there are plenty of things I have to alter and adapt for my body shape and strength but like you bending over is not one of them!

Fabulous photo!
I hope I can get back to yoga again at some point, but I will be taking the super super super slow class!
