advice on being healthy and happy

be active
every day.
i'm serious people. you have this body right? you want it to last right? keep your joints lubricated with synovial fluid, keep your tendons and ligaments strong, keep your bones healthy. all it takes is stretching every day. it's healthier than sitting around. it doesn't take much effort. once you get into it (maybe after doing it for a week or so), you start looking forward to it.
hope somebody takes this advice. it's played a major role in making me feel better about myself.
it feels good to feel the power you have over your own body. you can push it, you can strain it, you can strengthen it. nothing else is real, but that. things change, but one thing that wont, is the power of determination.

stretching really helps breaking, yes (i break as well). gives you much more control of your body, more speed, and more power. and of course you're more flexible.

yoga will definitely do you good. are you taking classes, or doing it by yourself?

I was thinking of taking some classes. There is a Birkim yoga place around here and it looks interesting. Have you taken yoga? Do you like it?

yea, but it wasn't Bikram. I've heard lots of good things about it though. supposed to be more intense than some of the other ones, which sounds good to me, heh.
It depends on the teacher I think. I've had good teachers though. You really get in touch with your body through yoga, and you feel better about yourself. I have to wait till thursday for the next class, but I'm looking forward to it

i would be skeptical of it acting faster. i don't think any yoga can really be better than the others in any quantifiable sense, depends on what you're looking for.
but my friend said he had this experience with kundalini yoga that had him running (naked i think) through the desert, feeling free and new.
i would definitely look into kundalini yoga. in fact, i'm gonna go google it up right now :-D

so you would recommend yoga? can it help you lose some fat? I heard it was a good workout and I'm very unflexable.

mmm, longer yoga workouts will help you lose fat. and if you aren't flexible now, yoga will make you flexible pretty fast.
on top of that, i suggest stretching every day, if you want to get flexible. it really helps me feel better throughout the day, more comfortable in my body, like i can do more with it, yes.
i definitely recommend yoga :-)
