Jumping Back: BEFORE video

It's better than I thought.  Lately my feet haven't been clearing in the beginning, and even when they do I pause and touch down with my feet before jumping all the way back.

My updog looks so stiff!  I wasn't warmed up here, but still.

I spent 10 minutes today on the following exercises:

• Navasana and some variations (one leg at a time, bent legs)
• crossing my feet in front of me and lifting straight up
• crossing my feet in front, lifting up and then through my arms and under my torso
• kneeling and lifting up and holding (with and without ankles crossed)
• kneeling and lifting up and trying some pushups (with and without ankles crossed)

Even 30 seconds on any one of these was super tough.  I kept cycling through them until the time was up.  Feels like such hard work -- it's got to help!
