Exercise at home
I started with 1 hours and 10 minutes of running . it is like an Obstacle course with all the people who are out walking and I tried to be as close to the beach as possible. Sometimes the sand is wet and at other times it is more dry. Sometimes I need to jump up on stones and almost all the time there is an inclination combined with small stones in random patterns. The fresh air from the sea and the sound of waves hitting the beach is really calming for the mind. In general jogging have a tendency to become a bit boring and there are some ways to avoid that. Challenge yourself ! jump up on that low concrete wall and try to get as much variation in as possible. For inspiration watch this video Strength training for Parkour .
After the run I tried to do my whole yoga routine in the bathroom just to challenge myself in the limited space there is in there. I find that when I do yoga in different places and with different people I do it differently and I remember poses I have not been doing for a long time.
I also did a few clap push ups today inspired from the book ” train a quarter of an hour a day” with Paulo Roberto. Even if you can find a lot of training videos on youtube and on podcasts for example I recommend one book that gives you some exercise patterns, how to eat and how to put together routines.
Earlier today I was watching “Scooby’s Home Workouts” and he have done a series of videos about training at home and I really recomend them. There is no advertisments on the page and if you like it you have the possibility to donate money. he gives a lot of useful information on how to use a back pack when you do pushups to intense the training for example.
In general I am amazed how many different training exercises you can find on youtube. Today I was watching a special variation of pushups that thai boxers do as well as some guy doing push ups with his whole body in the air.

At an early age I got interested in Buddhism and the prince who left his kingdom in the search for truth. How can I apply this story to my own life ? to be able to sit I took up the study of yoga. Is there a contradiction between yoga and science ? Sure we can get a theoretical understanding through books, but without the experience we are stuck. Why is it so hard to practice non-violence when the mosquito is landing on my neck ?
