This is one of the best weight classes I’ve ever done 💪😍. Just the right amount of exertion for my 62 year old Earth suit using 3 lb weights. My whole body is feeling alive and strong - thank you so much Melina! (PS, let’s see if I’m still thanking you tomorrow 😉😅)
It was such a joy putting this series together—I'm so glad you're enjoying the mix and pulling out your 3 lb weights! I'm still amazed at how challenging some of the moves are, even with just 3 lbs. Keep me posted how you're feeling.
I agree with Jenny's comment above. Feels good for my 63 year old body! I especially appreciate the weights because I have osteopenia, one step before osteoporosis. I've managed to prevent a deterioration in my bone density for at least 5 years, and working with weights combined with yoga is an excellent practice for me. Thank you, Melina (I'm using the 2 pound weights).
I've had these 3 and 5 pound weights sitting around for years and here's a great way to put them to use. I was able to use the heavier ones for the on the floor section of the class. This is great for this seventy-three year old body. Thanks for this interesting and inspiring series using a variety of props.
Thanks for checking in, everyone! I love hearing what you’re up to and that you’re exploring the use of weights in your practice. Wishing you continued strength and vitality in the seasons ahead.
These resistance and weight classes are such a nice practice of how to mindfully encourage our muscles to fire and build strength with so much love. Exactly the approach my body and mind needs. Thank you Melina! I appreciate you so much 💗 I didn’t go in for hand weights yet but found I could use the ankle weight for this one to start 😉 One day I’ll invest in some heavier ones. Thanks again for the prop tips.
