How Bikram Yoga kicked my A$$!

So I signed up for a $29 trial membership to Chicago Bikram Yoga (www.105f.com) and have gone the past 3 days in a row.  Here is what I noticed:
  • I'm not very flexible yet still maintain decent symmetry.
  • I'm improving with every practice.
  • I've never slept better in my life.
  • I'm losing weight and can see more definition in my muscles.
  • My skin is definitely clearer than when I started.
I've come to realize that the health and fitness industry has sold the idea that aggressive athletic training 'is' what training is all about.  From my experience in the gym what most clients need is good flexibility, functional stregnth and some cardiovascular power (in that order).  It seems like bikram yoga challenges those three areas perfectly.  Not to mention it's crazy difficult.  Check it out!
