Yoga & Weights--from a strong chick:

[Guest guest]

"I can move alot of weight in the gym. Alot.

Hands down the strongest woman in the gym that is my

size. I am not that big--just strong and lean. I have

dieted and trained and done aerobics to get my bodyfat

below ten percent. I have done what I thought was the

hardest training imaginable.........<br><br>ASHTANGA IS

THE HARDEST THING I HAVE EVER DONE"<br><br>I feel

largely the same way, and I think the presence of that

very dense muscle tissue developed through the weights

makes it substantially harder. I don't mind, I like

pushing my limits, and man those limits are pretty easy

to find when you're doing ashtanga with a

weightlifters body. I'm not sorry for developing my musculature

as I did, and the fact is while it may limit some

flexibility, I can get the big air-conditioner up the steps,

and get my motorcycle back up on 2wheels after some

idiot knocks it over, and so on and so on, with ease

and grace, and that's nice too.
