Today’s workout lesson… when you choose to do yoga matters. Often you are in downward dog and in other poses that have you hang your head low to relax.

Today I chose strength and cardio first which I followed by two glasses of water before moving on to yoga. Needless to say I got only halfway through before my stomach stopped me. After more than 10 minutes in downward dog, planks, and shoulder stretches with my head low I couldn’t go another minute.

Learn from my mistake. Start with yoga, choose a yoga exercise that keeps you more upright after hydrating, or break up your workouts. Don’t do your stomach wrong upside down after adding fluids.
