Brahmanya Devi Martinek


Recommended Posts

i love the chance to start a blog in your lovely forum!

 

i wanna blog my sports and the changes i will do.

 

some facts on me:

 

28 years old, yoga teacher, vegetarian since sept. 2004, 62 - 63 kg, fat 19 - 20 %, married. me and my husband are eating nearly all organic.

 

i am doing bodybuilding with a real plan only for 1 week (in studio, 3 split). before, i trained most at home, but never liked the hard training so really. that had changed

 

if you are interested in my plan, i can post it, but surely need some help for the english names of the exercises.

 

today i went to the garden by mountainbike, which means ca. 2 km straight uphill. there, i ate some wild greens, tomatoes and berries.

 

later, in studio, i made a warmup (11 minutes running and sun salutations). then hard training (tuesday is back day - i love it) for 45 minutes.

 

meals: too much, not everything raw, too much sugar and not really vegan

 

from tomorrow i wanna go raw, except lapacho, tulsi and green tea (i love them). i got lots of foods at home for that (maca, spirulina, fruits and veges, wheat grass, wheat germs, many several seeds and nuts) and enough knowledge about it i think (i wanna eat raw for more than one year and really occupied with everything about that).

 

tomorrow, i will train together with a friend who also works in the studio i train (and work as a yoga teacher). tomorrow's squat day!

we also will do some stretching, i love it

Hey brahmanya devi!

Good to see you already started a blog!

Where did you do your yoga-education?

Can you make a living out of being a yoga-teacher (no need to answer this one as it is personal)?

Do you live in a bigger city in Thüringin?

I know: many questions...

All the best for your training!

Btw: Do you want to go vegan?

hi flanders

 

i got my yoga teacher education at yoga vidya, bad meinberg (NRW).

i don't know how you mean the question with the living out of being a yoga teacher...?

 

yes, i'm living in a city, but it's ok. we got a garden some minutes from here that is very nice.

 

i wanna try to go vegan, but first i want to change to raw eating (included raw cow milk because of proteine). that's already difficult enough. if it will work for some time, i think i can change to vegan.

I was at the yoga vidya center and my former yoga teacher learned there as well!

I meant if you earn enough to live from it...

I am high raw (90%) and believe me: there is no need to worry about protein no matter if you are raw or/and vegan!

If you want to talk to me about it personally: here is my cellphone- number:

two weeks ago, i started with savate (boxe francaise savate - french kickboxing) training twice a week and freefight training additional once a week. i got so much stiffness in my lats from boxing! ARGH!

but training is great and so much fun!

we often play soccer with a soft ball for warming up, i love it, too.

 

i also made good progresses at pull ups and bench pressing.

last week, i died at repetition number 8 at bench pressing with 35 kg - yesterday i did 20 reps (20 kg), 12 (30 kg) and then 3 x 12 with 35 kg

 

tomorrow is pull up day

it's not anymore that hard to do 3 reps, even with holding a little longer up.
