Living Yoga

I’ve known people to go on work out binges at the gym.  Heck, I’ve done it myself in the past.  Sometimes it’s to lose weight, prepare for an upcoming event, or they are just plain addicted to that activity (as was the case with my addiction to running leading to injury).  Again and again I will say…

Give your body a break. Going gung ho with working out non-stop will eventually burn you out (especially if there is a calorie restricting diet involved too) and your body will force you to rest by giving you some kind of injury.  I know from experience that resting when it wasn’t my choice to do so was very frustrating.

I found the below photo on http://www.indiatouronline.com and thought it to be very inspiring to rest beautifully this Labor Day weekend and I hope you’ll find something peaceful in it too.
