I did some Plyometric exercises yesterday in an attempt to try something new (it was fun! and thanks for the workout, Tone It Up!!). I will definitely keep trying those, as they are fun and still intense. It's a good cardio addition to yoga, I think.
Well, between those and the time between my last wheel try, my arms got stronger (or, the right part of them got stronger, rather). I just did wheel -- twice! From the floor, I should say. My back already feels amazing.
So, obviously, it's time to walk away from the posture-destroying computer and run errands!!!

Wheel
A few weeks ago I did yoga with a friend and couldn't do wheel.
I just tried again. My hips and everything to my shoulders go up ... but my arms can't lift. This is what the pose is, from YogaJournal.com:
I don't think I have the triceps for it. So, I need to work on my arm strength. Tonight I did a ton of planks and everything so I guess my arms could have been tired, too, but I am betting I don't have the triceps for it ...yet.
On the plus side!! Tonight I did a crapped-out, first-time version of Shoulder Pressing Pose. My feet got this much off the ground -- | | (quite literally). But I did it!!!! Which means I can do it again, and again, and more correctly each time. Woot!!
