Today was a departure from the mats and rollers. YHC decided to do some walking and stretching. So at 0530 the disclaimer was given and we lumbered over to the track to start the thang. The Thang was simple, walk around track and stop periodically to do a series of lower body stretches. Those included […]

Gopher’s Hip-Release Broga
Three showed up for some good ole fashioned Broga. Inspired by Gopher’s complaints of “tight hips” this well designed stretch and yoga routine went right to the issue. We did some standing stretches, some warrior flows, some twists, some hip and leg focused stretches with a few merkins and shoulder-blade merkins thrown in. It would […]
Thursday Stretchies
YHC rolled into the front door of the ABC FLC at 0530:30, matted down and got right to is. Thankfully the fellas were finishing up some mumblechatter and were ready to go so we started with a few sun salutations? I think salutations is the right word but I’m not a professional yoga instructor. We […]
12 Days of Yoga
It was a people’s Q so four of us matted up at the ABC for a Chum inspired 12 days of Christmas Broga. 1 swan Dive 2 runner’s lunge 3 Michael Phelps’ 4 deep breaths 5 down dog to up dogs 6 count Pez stretch 7 trifle stretches 8 something 9 something else […]
Stretching DNA
YHC had Q for this morning’s Broga McStretchy Pants. YHC is definitely NOT an expert in Yoga or proper stretching of any kind so Google proved to be a life saver. Armed with Google results in hand, YHC lead the PAX in a series of stretches by description only. No pose names were used (not […]
Stretching things and Blue jeans
I prepare for boot camp and running Qs but the yoga Qs? I wing all of them. I used to do a ton of yoga. At least three times a week back when free time was still a significant part of my life. I miss it dearly, well the yoga anyway. I rolled up to […]
Rolling it out
Parked the minivan at 0508, got vested up and hit the road for quick 2+ miles. Got back to find Othello’s mat and the flag planted. It was just the two of us and while we could have done some sort of routine we just shot the breeze and stretched and rolled for 45 minutes. […]
It’s all in the Hips
Four men got up and entered the beautiful 61 degree morning to attend the #smartestworkoutoftheweek. Mint Hill’s Broga sessions have been a hit and today would not disappoint. YHC pulled out a routine that would have made any P90X’er proud. “We are taking care of our hips today boys”, I exclaimed. 0530 came around, a […]
Broga under the lights
Five Pax attended the #smartestworkoutoftheweek at the Vet under the street light in the parking lot. Looks like the local “pay as you go” group called Gladiator was running a special as there must have been fifteen cars in the lot and they took up one whole section of the parking lot. How rude. They […]
Technically Challenged Broga Q
You know it will be a good day when you have 9 Pax (including YHC) ready for a Broga stretch session to start your weekend. However, when you have the Broga Gods (Chicken Coop and Robins Nest) standing right next to you as you do your VQ it can get quite nerve-racking. It’s been a […]
