I love yoga but can’t stand the incense. Or the music. So I’m thinking of getting a yoga DVD or book and just do it by my lonesome in my flat.

I say you should give it another go. It’s such fun ;)

I’d always found yoga difficult because I was unsure as to whether I was doing the poses correctly, but the Wii Fit has solved that! I find it really helpful with showing me when my centre of gravity is off. After a week of practicing I was finally getting it right.

Of course my martial-arts wife stepped on it and had perfect centre of gravity, which had the immediate effect of making me hate the wii for weeks. :-)

@Adam
I may take up Tai Chi eventually. Who knows? For now I’m going to stay a runner/walker. I’m not closed minded about that sort of thing, though.

@themcp
Yeah, ever since I quit teaching, I spend many, many hours seated in front of a computer, so any physical exercise I can work into the day is good. I’m now walking home from work, and the walk does wonders to relax me and keep my blood flowing.

i found yoga to be a little difficult, although many many of my friends really have benefited from it.

physical activity is so important for us heavy computer users. i used to be extremely sedentary, and it certainly had an impact on my health. we just moved onto our hobby farm, and having to do some real physical work every single day has helped so much.

i know that it isn’t really news, but i’m still amazed at how much better i feel. of course, somehow i seem have less time for video games…

You might try Tai Chi. I have been doing it for 23 years and it makes a real difference as you get older.
