Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Question for y'all. I race bicycles as my main physical outlet. i am currently lifting weights because my body has gotten hideously out of balance (all strength in the legs, none in upper body or middle). after i toughen up with the weights, i was considering taking up ashtanga yoga because i have heard that it can make you stronger along with its other benefits. is this true? i really would like to maintain a fairly strong body. thanks, andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
