NikkiNik Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I've been vegan for 3 years. After coaching a soccer team this spring I decided I wanted to become more active. I started bike commuting-2 miles each way-and yoga for an hour in the morning. For the past couple weeks that has been replaced with a 2-3 mile jog pretty much everyday. I really love it but some days it is hard and I wonder if I am jogging too much (or eating the wrong food). For my fitness routine, I want to do more to tone up. I joined a gym but before I hit the weights, I'm thinking I might want a personal trainer. My friend gave me a huge thing of Vega meal replacement so I've been doing that in the morning with fruit. I eat mostly fruit, tofu, seeds, nuts and nut butter, and guacamole until I crave restaurant food and gorge in the evening. So as far as food goes, I'm trying to get into better habits (as well as cutting out alcohol and my random smoking that I am only admitting to that publicly so I will stop ). When I read through some discussions here it made me feel like I could join an awesome community and keep motivated to get and stay fit. Best wishes to everyone here!!!

gkleinman Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 NikkiNik, Welcome to Vegan Bodybuilding and Fitness!! You'll find some great resources and support here. I had a similar issue with trying to figure out my fitness routine. Got some good tips on going it alone vs personal trainer here: viewtopic.php?t=7390 What kind of yoga do you do?

NikkiNik Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 A MTV Yoga video...hehehe. It is pretty basic and makes me feel awesome. I have never taken a class though, so I am going to see what that is like at the gym I just joined. Thanks for the link about the trainer and the warm welcome!!!

gkleinman Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 If there are any yoga studios in your area I HIGHLY recommend trying a class there. Gym yoga is a very different breed of Yoga. As for videos. You may want to take a look at the "Total Yoga: The Flow Series" it's a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
