OK. Does anyone do yoga?
My mom isn't much of an exerciser, but I want to get her a little more active - it's not a weight loss thing, but she's getting older, and she seems like she's a little stressed out & down in the dumps lately.
She's from that generation that doesn't like to do any activity that involves sweating. When she did work out, it was a lot of walking and some work with 7 lb dumbbells.
I found a
place near us that I think would be workable - it's about a 15 min drive for each of us. But I'm a little worried that 1) it'll be too granola-crunchy for her, and 2) if we take the same class - which is probably the only way I can get her to go - either I'll be bored silly or she'll be overwhelmed.
I've never done yoga, either, but I'm real active and not in my 50s.
Anyway. I'd love to hear what anyone thinks about it, both what they thought and any guesses as to how someone a little older might take to it.
