Lack of coordination

Up at 4:45 AM today. Abs, pushups then 90 minutes of yoga. There is no doubt that my inflexible body can benefit from yoga. I'm certain it gives me greater flexibility, greater core strength and a calmness I cannot otherwise achieve. It also demonstrates my lack of balance and coordination. I cannot tell you how many times I caught myself doing something with the wrong arm or leg. I'm used to a yoga class where the instructor is in front of you--the mirror image via television proved too challenging for my left and right disorientation.

To complete my irregular brick workout, I'm off to a masters swim class this evening. Hopefully the time will pass ever so quickly.
