 Poster: A snowHead
|
I used to do Bikram on a regular basis some four or so years ago in Brighton and can attest to how good it is for overall fitness.
Back then there were many a pose that I had major problems with getting anywhere near to doing them, whilst people who did not have anything resembling a sporting physique made the same moves with consummate ease.
Fast forward to yesterday and one of my daughter's succeeded in nagging me and the OH to sign up for a month.
I should add here that many studio's do these introductory offers where you only pay circa £40 for the first month and you can attend as many times as your body will allow.
So I knew what I was in for as I entered the studio, for me it's very tough and slightly embarrassing, as I seriously sweat, plus I'm useless at it 
Unlike normal Yoga, Bikram is high intensity and is performed in very hot humid conditions, and it lasts for just over 95 mins.
Prior to last night's session I was 78kg, weighed myself afterward and 75.9 , that's how much I sweated!
This morning quads are aching a bit as there's one pose that is akin to the sit against the wall and hold it position, except there's no wall to sit back to!
So great for the core, respiratory and heart.
And like I say if you have a studio near by check out their Introductory offers.
Namaste

@Frosty the Snowman, ditto  . Think it would be headspinning and vomit inducing for me-especially since my levels of fitness have plummeted over the last 18 months!

Yeah not sure about the 'hot' bit, plus the sight of a porky 40somthing sweating his nadjers off would probably offend the usual Yummys who attend these things, but the Yoga idea has occured to me as a way to get back into... well not shape, but tidier heap maybe.

@DJL, no just Yoga, was most disappointed, maybe I should try searching under "torture" or "masochism"

Probably can get the same by sitting in a sauna for 90 minutes?
