Thinking back on it, I wasn't an inactive child. I loved to ride my bicycle, swim (I grew up in the country so we had lakes, not nasty chlorinated pools, and there was a lot of floating and playing around rather than concertedly swimming laps, but even so), and play softball with the family or run around playing war games, etc. But the competitiveness of gym class and the public humiliation aspect of it (I was a fat kid and other kids made fun of me, plus starting in middle school we had to wear hideous gym uniforms) made it an ordeal. And the gym teachers all seemed to be ex-high school jocks with short tempers and no skill at teaching. *sigh*
Do you have recommendations for good yoga DVDs (I can't afford classes) that are about flexibility, strength etc. rather than weight loss, and that also aren't full of, er, spirituality?
