Hello

Hello,

Ever since i can remember, I've been a runner. From a youth track club in the late 70s to college and beyond. In the past handful of years it lost its appeal and I started putting on the weight. Now married and a father of 3 small children and quickly approaching 40 I decided to pull myself together in the hopes of being a healthy and strong father.

Currently my workout of choice is Vinyasa yoga. Its been close to a year since I began and I am getting close to the body I had back in college.

So why am I here?? Mostly to find a way to get to the next level, but I would also like to help anyone just starting out, anyone looking for some kind of inspiration.

so...Hi!

Welcome aboard, its nice to have a diversity of experiences on the boards, it leads to multiple viewpoints.

I had a full year when I did vinyasa yoga in a class twice a week. It went really well, but my lack of flexibility started to frustrate me in the last months. I started to do more running, and did not have enough time for both. I still use yoga for warmups and stretches, and I would like to try out new things.

I am at a similar life point as you. I hope you find what you need here in the forums.

You say you want to get to the next level, the next level of what? Tell us some of the resuls of getting to the next level.

Sorry, holdays kept me away from the site for a bit.  Ahh the "next level" for me would be tackling advanced versions of the asanas. Holding the arm balances for longer, handstands,one legged crow.  And always improving my breath.
