Even when I did fall asleep at a reasonable time, it wasn\u2019t unusual for me to wake up in the middle of the night, unable to fall back to sleep until roughly 20 minutes before I needed to be up for the day.<\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, I was often pretty tired during the day. So when people talked about their runner\u2019s highs, endorphins, gains, and personal bests, my eyes would glaze over and I\u2019d want to lie down for a nap (more than I already did <em>before<\/em> the conversation started).<\/p>\n<p>I just never \u2018got\u2019 the love of exercise. \u201cWhen I have a bad day, I go for a run and I feel so much better,\u201d runner friends would tell me. But if <em>I<\/em> went for a run, I ended up swearing under my breath and praying for it to just end already. It was <em>not <\/em>relaxing. Making playlists of the best saxophone solos from 1978-1983? For me, <em>that <\/em>was relaxing.<\/p>\n<p>There were times when I\u2019d attempted to push through the hatred of exercise. But I never really put in the effort to research what type of exercise might be a good fit for me; I\u2019d just pick whatever I thought would burn the most calories in the least amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>That usually meant joining a gym so I could get on an elliptical machine and go nowhere, sweating and swearing the whole way. Eventually I\u2019d lose some weight, give myself permission to slack off and enjoy my life again, and I\u2019d be right back on the couch\u00a0binge-watching every British murder mystery Netflix has to offer.<\/p>\n<p>Rinse and repeat, again and again. Nothing stuck.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I never really put in the effort to research what type of exercise might be a good fit for <em>me<\/em>; I\u2019d just pick whatever I thought would burn the most calories in the least amount of time.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But several months ago, I accidentally happened upon the exercise for me.<\/p>\n<p>I was scavenging Google for possible insomnia solutions when I came across a video for evening yoga. It was a mere 10 minutes long. I had done a little yoga in the past, but I never kept up with it. The more strenuous types of yoga didn\u2019t appeal to me (surprise, surprise) and the gentler styles just seemed like a waste of time (since exercise, for me, was only ever about the calories burned). In this case, however, I wasn\u2019t concerned about burning calories; in fact, I wasn\u2019t concerned about my body at all. I needed to train my brain to calm down and transition into sleep mode.<\/p>\n<p>The video I used walked me through gentle stretches, including cat\/cow pose, bridge pose, happy baby pose, spinal twists, seated forward bends, and legs up the wall.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe title=\"10 Minute Yoga Quickie (Bedtime Night Flow) | Fightmaster Yoga Videos\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RNBsQ24J5oA?list=PLEs9dX8UXFZq0ofhAStCTtxVIiOXDS5A-\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>With this video, I started to do 10 minutes of yoga before bed each night\u2014a totally doable amount\u2014and it made a positive difference almost immediately.<\/p>\n<p>My brain responded to the slower, deeper, more deliberate breathing by calming down and stopping its \u201chelpful\u201d suggestions (i.e. <em>what I should have said in that meeting at work, what I could maybe write about tomorrow, and who was that juror in that murder mystery anyway<\/em>?).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/training-accessories\/N-8g9\">Shop yoga blocks and mats.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I also realized how much tension I constantly hold in my back and shoulders. With yoga\u2019s easy, gentle stretching, I learned to un-clench my muscles, which ended up making sleep a lot easier. Yoga signaled to both my body and my brain that it was time to rest, and I finally understood that mind-body connection that other people found through running, lifting weights, or other more intense forms of exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually those 10 minutes helped me move on to longer, more challenging sequences. My arms and legs are definitely more toned and I am also stronger\u2014I can do several pushups now. Plus, I\u2019m more flexible. When I started I could only grab my calves during seated forward bend\u2014and now I can grab my toes!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I finally understood that mind-body connection that other people found through running, lifting weights, or other more intense forms of exercise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It may sound like nothing, but 10 minutes of gentle yoga is an excellent way to start or restart exercising. It&#8217;s over quickly, it&#8217;s not competitive, it feels good, it meets you where you are (even if that&#8217;s barely off the couch), and it counts as exercise! For me, it was a way to finally make exercise a habit, and it got me into doing more, more often.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve lost any weight because I no longer weigh myself, but I do know that I\u2019m stronger, happier, and more flexible. Between that and getting a good night\u2019s sleep on a regular basis, I finally have a consistent exercise routine that I actually like\u2014and that works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 minutes of yoga per day is totally doable\u2014and it changed the way I view fitness.<a class=\"more-link\"
