I'm in Week 3 of The Yoga Burn Total Body Challenge, and I'm keeping it up!

I'm doing the program 3 days a week now in the beginning, - on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I have found that the best time for me is to do it in the morning, as soon as I get out of bed. Then I take a shower and eat my breakfast, and I feel very relaxed and good about having done some exercise before I go on with my chores for the day.
 
I'm currently on a 50 % sick leave from my day job, so on the days I have to get up early to go to work, I do the Yoga Burn program in the evening instead. Otherwise, it becomes a stress factor for me, and then I know I won't see it through.

So far, I haven't missed out on any of the scheduled work-outs. That's a definite choice I've made, because I know that if I just stick with it now, even if it feels hard, I will reach the point where I "just can't live without it". That's what I want, because I know I need this, and I really, really want to get my life back and get back into shape.
 
In the past, I've found it very difficult to stick with any work-out program, the main reason being that I've been struggling with fatigue for many years now, after an accident I had which left me with a post concussion syndrome.

But the Yoga Burn Total Body Challenge seems to be the right thing for me, and I'm very happy about that. I'm actually looking forward to each session! Can't get any better than that, hey?

I've just finished Week 4 of The Yoga Burn Total Body Challenge.

I do struggle with my balance sometimes, and I sometimes have to modify the movements that Zoe is showing in the videos. But I still do the work-outs 3 times a week, and I feel more determined than ever to keep this up.
 
I don't see any huge changes in my body yet, but I feel the change. I feel a bit stronger, and I feel firmer, especially in my legs and booty.

I wish there were visible changes in my tummy, too, but I know that it will take some time before that happens. The tummy fat is the hardest to get rid of and is what I've been struggling with for years. So expecting it to change drastically in just 4 weeks with 15-20 minutes of work-out every second day, wouldn't be realistic.

So I'm telling myself that "a slow and steady pace wins the race", and I keep going.
 
This week I also put in some of the bonus work-out material at the end of my ordinary work-out session, which is the Total Body Band Burnout.
I liked it so much that I think I'll do that work-out in-between the others now and then in the weeks to come.
 
I still haven't done more than one round of each work-out so far, but my intention is to step it up a notch from now on. I'm looking forward to Week 5!
 
If you know you have to start exercising but still haven't made a decision about what kind of exercise you should do, I strongly suggest that you try The Yoga Burn Total Body Challenge.

My 5th week of the Yoga Burn Total Body Challenge is completed!

I must admit that I'm finding it a tad more challenging every week, but that's some of the idea with it, I guess. I find that I still have to modify some of the movements, especially those involving balance.

My hip's a little bit weaker on one side, so if I have to balance on one foot, I tend to fall out of it sooner when I'm balancing on my left foot. But I do my best, and I always go through the whole work-out, even if I have to modify here and there.
 
I'm sorry to say, though, that I missed one yoga day in week 5. This was because I had to go to my day job on Wednesday and therefor didn't find time to do yoga in the morning. And when I came home I was too tired and also got busy with other things.

I thought I'd catch up and do it the next day instead, but I didn't (for some reason). This was a disappointment, so I made sure I did the work-out on Friday, and I promised myself that I will definitely not skip any more days in the weeks to come.
 
It will be easier for me to have regularity in this over the next few weeks, because I've just started on my summer holidays now and can stick to my own schedule.

And I keep saying to myself that I have to stick with this, because if I start procrastinating or finding reasons not to do the work-outs on the days I've decided to do them, I will soon end up not seeing it through. THAT CAN NOT HAPPEN!
 
The purpose of sharing this with you here on this page is to make you my accountability partner. I would be happy if you would leave me an uplifting comment or write something to cheer me on. Because if I know for certain that someone is actually reading this and following my progress, it will be even more important to keep it up.
 
I'm considering putting some more exercise into my schedule in-between the Yoga Burn days, like some dancing and some more walking. I'll keep you posted on that!
