He couples strength training with classic yoga poses by using “Dynamic Resistance”. Initially dubbed “YRG” (Yoga for Real Guys) DDP set out to show that yoga is for everyone. After a quick search I found that DDP had released a workout system, much like many of the Beachbody videos, or Jillian Michael’s revolution. Arthur had lit a new fire in me –I needed to know more. Was that just Diamond Dallas Page? Diamond Dallas Page, the wrestler? I had been an avid wrestling fan as a child, so to see DDP as a yoga instructor, well it definitely piqued my interest to say the least. By the end of the video I was a blubbering mess. In the meantime, I would perform classic exercises to try to get some mobility in each day.įinally, one fateful day, I came across the video “Arthur’s Transformation”. The time I spent doing mindless things on the internet was put towards finding a way to ease into the world of fitness. The thought that mattered most? I have not only myself, but two little girls who need me to be both in the best health & the best role model I can be for them. I’ll admit, many were riddled with curse words that would make my Nana cringe and sadly there were more thoughts of giving up than I would like to admit. As I laid on the floor in a puddle of sweat and tears, many thoughts flew through my head. My body had called revolted against every high impact, high energy move that trainer threw at me. My poor lungs that had just puffed on their last cigarette merely hours ago were screaming out for oxygen. I have never been afraid of hard work, so in three months or so, the program would be easy peasy. Such was how I thought I would get healthy & in shape. For those of you who may not know me personally, or who don’t know me very well –quite often, I jump into things head first. About two years ago, after finally making the decision to make my health a priority, I flicked away my last cigarette.
