Congrats Chuck. I am so happy for you.. happy dancing in the neighborhood right now. you just keep moving. Showing up for yourself. What an inspiration!
So first let me clarify - what I am doing is DDPY (or to use their catchphrase) "It Ain't Your Mama's Yoga". 🤣. It uses traditional yoga poses, but adds a little bit more (squats, pushups, resistance training, that sort of thing)
I chose that over the walking & elliptical because it works ALL of the muscles in your body - not just your legs. It's not just cardio (like walking), it uses your own body weight for strength training.
I think they ALL are great and obviously whichever one you will actually DO.... is the right one for you. But that's why I chose DDPY. There's also the FB Community and all of the YouTube videos that go along with it too.
Congratulations! I am aiming for consistency in my movement goals. So far, so good. I lost almost 90 lbs. over two years, and have maintained (withing a 5-lb. range) for a year now. My issue was motivating myself to actually move, for my own health. You've done a wonderful job of encouraging me to stay with it, for which I'm grateful. After being in a wheelchair for a year, from an accident, I'm still trying to rebuild my movement and muscles. So far, so good. I see progress, and I feel more motivated than ever.
Really well done!
Congratulations on moving 2 more beads from one dish to the other!! Great job.

Is the yoga working better than the walking pad and the elliptical? If so, why do you think that is? I'm curious as I'm not much of a yoga person.
