Sweat Baby Sweat

Oh man, being back in the hot room at Bikram is great, but going back is ALWAYS the hardest. It's not like riding a bike where you can hop back on and your muscles remember how to do it. I feel like you become dangerously aware of how stiff and sore parts of your body are and know that it will be some time before those parts feel better again. However, the energy and the way you feel after the class is really amazing and something I have yet to feel with any other type of workout. Going back was a bit painful, I stayed in the room, which is the most important, but doing all of the postures right through was another thing entirely. My concentration though, phew, that also gets a workout all on its own. As Zach Efron once  said in a most prolific movie, "You gotta getcha head in the game," (that's right I just quoted High School Musical...) But really, it's all about how you feel when you get into the room and then deciding that you are going to do it. It's going to take me a lot of practicing before I get to where I once was, but man did I sweat.
