I just bought this Prenatal DVD from Virgin Megastore few months ago, dragging to do any sort of exercise with my growing belly. Until recently the uncomfortability kicks in, back ache (from looooong time ago) some cramps and joint pain especially the knees (two knee surgeries really taken the toll that now I keep expanding up down left and right). Really not good. I walked regularly in this heat (mostly in the mall, where there's A/C) but the pain doesn't get any better. Can't take my meds for the pain since it's not allowed by my ob/gyn :( So I turned to yoga. I'm not in a position to join local yoga classes, so I got this DVD and could practice in my own comfort home. And I don't have to look good just because I need to get out from the flat, it can be done merely just after I woke up in my pj's , switch on the screen and popped in the DVD. It seems impossible at first, but there are modifications at the stances depends on which trimesters are you in, which is perfect! So, after almost an hour beginner's stances, I felt lifted, light and flexible. I could really feel the effects and doing house chores without discomfort. This is my lifesaver! Totally recommends to anyone. Any kind of yoga-esque moves, really would do you good.
I am embarrassed that friends keep telling me to join them in yoga class, but I choose not to because I could do more strenous exercise before (...and still couldn't lose weight because I just love to eat..) And I found that people who do yoga having a shorter leg and longer body, which kind of ugly (katik, in my language...ehheehhe) due to the stretching of the upper body more than the lower part. But now since my movement is limited (although I sometimes forget) this is good for me. Very relaxing indeed.
Today so far been a good day. Besides I stopped playing those stupid games on Facebook. Games that doesn't gets you anywhere and just a waste of time. I can't believe I was addicted to those before. I think I probably still would if I keep opening the farms, the restaurants and the cafes and accepting those free gifts from the neighbours. I honestly don't have many spare time to just sit and play. (even if I do, I'd normally spend time in the kitchen trying out new and old recipes and eat) haha! more productive, isn't it? Or pick up a book and read and surfing internet looking for infos and watch movie or listen to music. Which are far more fulfilling, in my opinion.
