There is no soft music (no music at all really) and no relaxing scenery (it is all shot on a workout stage in a studio). There are a lot of the traditional yoga poses and exercises but Diamond Dallas Page doesn’t get too heavy into the meditative aspects of yoga and instead pushes it more like a workout routine. The DDPYoga program is great because it is a unique twist on yoga. Yoga is a great multi-tasking exercise because you are doing several different kinds of exercises all at once. It also works well given the limited time I have to devote to exercise due to my child care responsibilities. I have decided that I absolutely love yoga! Yoga is the exercise that feels best for my body. Cooked, frozen spinach, tomato, turkey bacon, cheese. Asparagus, broccoli, bacon, feta “salad.” Shrimp, broccoli and asparagus (served with quinoa). It was just as effective and costs a bit less too. I also was trying to clean out my freezer a bit so I substituted frozen broccoli and spinach for fresh as a base for my meals. I continued to eat oatmeal and salads primarily but tossed in a few additional snacks of nuts and dried fruit. The last week of my diet and exercise program was to try to maintain my weight loss. Honestly, I do too! I am not sure why I was able to do it but it just seemed like the right time.
I made it! 40 days on an exercise routine (with 30 days on both a diet AND exercise routine)! Many people I have spoken with about my experiment express amazement for my discipline and self-motivation.
