Monday Motivation

I'm Gumby Damn It!
Adam Levine

Even though it doesn't happen until Wednesday I am planting the seed of motivation today, Monday. "Yes" Monday Motivation for a Wednesday ayem yoga class. For some inexplicable reason I have missed hitting the mat for the past two weeks and I really need to go as yoga does wonders for me and my body, not to mention my mindset as well.

Thus I have enlisted the very flexible, not to mention agile, Adam Levine to give me the kick in the booty I need to reach the mat at 8 ayem Wednesday morning. 

While at this point and juncture I know I will never achieve Gumby flexibility like Adam, one of my goals is to become more so. 

My body does actually give more than it used to in the bending department than it did when I started my yoga journey. That's why I am kicking myself for missing it these past couple of weeks...Grrrrrrrrrr.

OK, my mind has been programmed I know I will be in a downward dog come Wednesday. Join me?

Monday Motivation

I'm Gumby Damn It!
Adam Levine

After a quite eventful April 1st - you know Easter, April Fools Day, Passover & Rent Due. It's time to decompress and hit the mat. That's correct I am going to yoga today, woo hoo!

Monday is usually my day off from the gym, but due to mitigating circumstances I must get there today - thus Monday, when I do go is yoga day.

Today's Monday Motivation is yogi Adam Levine for various reasons. One of the main ones being, well you know, his flexibility as demonstrated in the images above. Obviously Adam has been participating in the sacred art for quite some time to be this pliable.

Me? I am a late comer to the table and am as flexible as a brick. I am more so than I used to be, but have a long way to go.

Thus today's yoga motivation mantra is: "Bend it like Adam." or at the very least picture Adam bending in my head when things get tough if you get my drift (I think you do...)

Namaste

Monday Motivation

Yoga Guy
Robert Downey Jr.

While I know today is Presidents' Day, that does not mean it is necessarily time off from the gym. Therefore some Monday Motivation is in order.

Some of you may or may not be in the loop that I do yoga once a week. It is not my favorite thing, but my body is addicted to it, and I listen to my body talk. 

Well I am trying to up it to twice a week and I needed something, or someone to motivate me to take it today. Hence this shot of Robert Downey Jr. in yoga action.

Honestly I am quite impressed with how flexible he is, something I am not. Which going more than once a week would improve on that situation. 

Robert and myself are also the same age, 52. Also considering everything he has been through in his life and the fact that he can commit to the ancient art and do it well...that's motivation for you!

So, I am going to bend it like RDJ today and step up my yoga game. 

Hey, it's Monday after all.
