Bikram Yoga at the Sweatbox

Comments: The gym was the usual thing, my motivation for core was still there and I felt good during spinning so went fairly hard.

Hot Yoga on the other hand was a shock to the system.

For those of you that don't know what it is, this is Bikram Yoga done in a heated room. They crank it up to around 105 degrees (big-ass forced air heater hanging from the ceiling) and then you do poses, stretches and breathing exercises while dripping sweat all over the place. And when I say dripping I of course mean the water is running off you like someone is hosing you down.

If you can handle it it's great! Shelley and I have been here in the past a couple of times and when she started back up again I figured it would be good for me too.

Somehow I positioned myself right in the path of the hot air that was getting blasted form the heater. This was actually extremely uncomfortable as I felt my skin was getting cooked off my body. No kidding. I had to bend at the waist several times just to get out of the way of the air.

And it pretty much kicked my ass. We walked there and back and both of us were still pretty warm after the half mile walk home. One word: hydrate.
