the body becomes its function

[running]

I got into truck driving about four years ago. I have always enjoyed exercising. I at first found it difficult to do as a truck driver. The first month I gained 10 lbs I think. Due yo sitting on my but and not exercising. So I began running, doing up downs, and pushups at the truck stops. I am now in better shape than four years ago.

Today I was struggling with my exercise towards the end. Did my up downs and pushups. Then my twenty minute jog. The last couple minutes I felt like quiting. When I got back to my truck I noticed the gauge said 101 degrees. And its humid as hell. Maybe its only 90 but the humidity is up there.

Twenty years ago I used to run like that in the phoenix heat. I once was on the news for being a dumb*** hiking squaw peak on one of the hottest days. So what im trying to say is i liked to push it.

So here I am. 41 years old and in the neighborhood of the shape I was in 20 years ago. Maybe I'm only 70% but it's also not like I'm pushing myself like I use to.

The best weight lifting book I ever read was from Bulgaria. And they had a simple philosophy. The body becomes its function. Today I believe it more than ever. Lol

It's not the benefits of yoga, it's the benefits of the exercises yoga uses. The way yoga makes muscles work.
Yoga uses primarily isometric, stretching, and balance exercises.
