You could just ease into some yoga pose during those bits of the class.
Everyone else doing all that leg work... you over in the corner holding warrior pose and humming.....

Maybe practice at home regularly until your muscles adapt and you get better at it. After all, if an 80-year-old can do it, she must be doing something right. I'd want to get on that bandwagon!

I am still shocked at a photo @Beekissed posted of her mom weeding. She was bent at the waist touching the ground.

She jumps on a rebounder every morning, works outside from sun up to sun down, even in 100* heat and 85% humidity, walks quarter mile out to the mailbox and back twice a day, line dances and square dances several times a week, does all the plumbing, roofing, painting, weedeating and mowing here and even does the absent neighbor's place.

If she can't bend over and touch the ground after all of that, I'd be surprised. :p She moved a deep freeze from the truck into the house(that's up a set of stairs, mind you) all by herself yesterday and has done so with a full sectional couch also.

Here's a pic of her patching the shed roof the day after her 80th birthday....

That woman always seems to be on a roof somewhere.....

She would give a huge ol' snort of laughter if someone suggested yoga to her...yoga is about holding a pose, whereas this woman never stops moving. That's her motto, in fact...a body that stays in motion, stays in motion.

Yoga...phhhhtttt! :tongue Tried it once and all it did was make me fart...I wasn't the only one, either. I never went back.

Most definitely....lots of folks swear by yoga for keeping toned and limber. :thumbsup Just not in a hillbilly's wheelhouse of things that we can spend time on. :D
