I missed two days for no good reason - must get back on the wagon!

For everyone whose struggling to do various bits - my experience as someone who struggled to all the bits is that with time and consistent practice you'll be amazed. For me it's never been quick but I get there in the end - even the bits where I'm convinced I'm just not built the correct way.
I couldn't step forward to lunge from downward dog on either side a month ago. I can now do the left leg. Maybe the right leg will get there too one day!

Yay - well done you - that's brilliant! and yes- the right one will get there! My left one is the tricky bugger but it's getting there.

So I did day 26 and only you people will share my joy in being able to do horizon! Not easy but possible. Just doing everything 'properly' as @Shannith says and asking the time to,listen to her voice. Very pleased with myself

Up to day 11 (I skipped day 8 as I am saving it up for days when I really feel too tired for anything bar the gentlest yoga).

Congratulations @Sooverthemill ! I did day 26 and still can't do horizon! Actually I found today the hardest so far - punishment for skipping a few days perhaps!

Well done @Sooverthemill I was coming on to say third time around I can sort of do horizon - my arms were trembling a lot so I am not sure if that s a lack of strength or my technique!

I have kept up with my daily fix but not posted for a few days.
Am amazed it is so nearly the end of another 30 days.

I have a vain question for you all - my arms are definitely looking more toned and I was hoping the bingo wings would improve and let me wear sleeveless tops this summer but sadly they seem unchanged - anyone got any ideas for targeting them or can encourage me that the yoga will get to them if I persist ?

Day 14 today. Amazing how exhausting it is to crouch in a frog pose and move from side to side.

I can't lie down and stretch my arms to the floor above my head. Can anyone recommend an Adriene that targets that area?

Thanks

I am sure Shiny that continued yoga will work wonders. 14 days in and there is more definition around my elbows. I think the effect will creep up your arms the longer you persist.

@shinyandnew2022 I do this video 2 or 3 times a week and I think it's helping with arms (even though it's for abs!)

@Shinyandnew2022 I think with enough yoga you won't care about the bingo wings That may be the theory but in practice it is nice toning up a bit!

I've completely failed to keep up the last few days, just been too busy but I have done some short bedtime sessions instead. Just going to pick up today with Day 26.

Thanks all for the
Bingo wings support . They really annoy me as my arms used to be one of my best features, but you can't cheat the ageing.

@rifling that looks good I might have a go.

Otherwise I maybe just need to keep going and see what happens.

Day 27 was good but very hard.

Day 15. I'm halfway through

@Shinyandnew2022 for me, it's not so much bingo wings as a weird pleated effect when I dangle my arms! It's 100% ageing, something to do with collagen I believe.
Day 27 today and oh my god that was bloody tough. Deeply satisfying though I had totally forgotten what was in the session!

@UnaOfStormhold

Up to day 11 (I skipped day 8 as I am saving it up for days when I really feel too tired for anything bar the gentlest yoga).

Oh this is a good idea! I’ll do that too.

Just did day 21 today
12 mins ?!! But bloody hell. And can see where’s there’s more room for challenging.

Day 27 today and oh my god that was bloody tough.
Agreed! I had to keep stopping to get through it!

Had my best Day 27 so far, which is reassuring! I had also forgotten most of it although not the tick tocking knee to elbow bit!

28 done - nice and easy after 27 yesterday.

That's great, @Best, looking forward to it tomorrow now.

Day 28. Ahhh very nice. I can do the full leg extension easier than bent. Am I normal?
I realised today that my shoulder and hips are barely troubling me at all. That has to be this practice

Adriene has published her April calendar and I am tempted! I think I might abandon Move for a month and come back to it in May as I feel like mixing it up a bit, anyone else?

@rifling not me, too many long ones ( it’s too difficult finding more than 30 minutes) and I like the slow build up of move or the 30 day challenges. The monthly ones are too random! I’d be up for Move again or possibly a different 30 days.

I’ll be doing Move again in April. I would like to try and do another one alongside but can’t commit to two a day every day.

Day 29 in the books !
So pleased with myself. Not sure what to do about tomorrows - might pick one of the earlier ones to do.

I am going to repeat Move in April as I don't seem to remember what's coming but love it when I can tell I have improved .

DH took the 'hint' and got me cork blocks for Mother's Day so am curious to use those to help with some postures

Yes I find this too. And the incremental improvements is what is keeping me motivated. That and this thread.
I love reading about others experiences and the improvements they make - inspiring!
