Yoga or Run today?

Yesterday, I went to the gym (first time since Saturday) and did 20 minutes on the AMT machine and 20 minutes on the arc trainer. I also did some weights (mostly chest exercises with a couple of inner/outer thigh exercises thrown in.)

Afterwards, I started feeling a tightness/soreness in my right hip (which I'm still feeling.) Soooo, should I run after work or try to make it to the yoga class offered at my gym? I haven't done yoga in years. My main concern about yoga is that the room might get too hot. (And, I never feel like yoga is a real workout, but I'm willing to start trying it once a week, esp. if it might improve my running/working out.) My main concern about running is that it might make my hip feel worse.

What say you, oh wise ladies of H&F?

Re: Yoga or Run today?

  • Yoga. Definitely yoga. Why are you concerned about the heat? Heat and yoga are amazing together! I see significant improvements in my running/the way I feel on runs when I incorporate even one yoga session a week on a regular basis.

    1. I'm pregnant.

    2. I have to wear a wig (I have alopecia), so no matter how hot any room is, I'm always much hotter than anyone else there.

  • Yoga- if it is hot, make sure you consult with your ob/gyn and see if it is okay to get into some hot yoga while pregnant.
  • My OBGYN had said NO to hot yoga. Check out some Prenatal Yoga classes, I felt like I wouldn't be getting any sort of workout from them but they were seriously the hardest thing I did all week in comparison w/ what I was doing at the gym.

    Ahh, gotcha. I guess it really depends on the gym. As long as it's not specifically hot yoga, I get less heated in a yoga class then I do when I'm doing any other type of workout.
