Music Of the Day

I've been in the reggae mood lately, and have been listening to a lot of Jimmy Cliff. I highly recommend you give a listen if you like Bob Marley.

Yoga Injuries

Normally you would look at Yoga being a very relaxing, non-contact exercise, which in the long run is, but does not go without risks of injuries. Injuries through Yoga do not happen right away, like many other fitness related injuries, Yoga injuries on the other hand happen after a long term period of performing. They commonly happen from improper techniques and over-stretching. Yoga injuries have boomed since the increase in popularity in the last few years.

There are three common parts of the body that are related, with one being much more common than the other two. The back is the most common place for injury, because of the emphasis of keeping good posture, in which many people do not have. The other two spots are the shoulders and the elbows. Frozen shoulder is an injury to look out for if you are over the age of 40 and performing this fitness routine, picking your body up and not being properly stretched could in time give this injury.
The lotus pose (Half-Lotus Pose is where one foot is on top of the thigh, while the other remains tucked loosely under the opposite knee) is the exercise to look out for, and if not properly done can lead to injury. If any Yoga pose is feeling very uncomfortable and hurting, stop it right away.

Music of the Day

Anybody that is looking for a great new Pop-Punk band look no further than Fireworks. They had just released their brand new CD "All I Have to Offer Is My Own Confusion" and it has been playing through at least once a day. Great cd for summer. Check it out!

UFC 97 was this past weekend, with a great opener of Cantwell and Lius cane, a great brawl between Shogun Rua and Chuck Liddel ending in the 1st round, and a very uneventful 5 round snoozer main event. Not that great of a night of fights, but at least we all got to see the return of Shogun.

This Saturday night, UFC is heading to Canada for the second time in over a year. Headlining the event is Anderson Silva vs. Thales Lietes, which should be a great fight.. if Anderson Silva does not completely destroy off the bat. Another fight i'm really looking forward to is Shogun Rua vs. Chuck Liddel. Now this fight could either be Shogun gassing and getting his lights knocked out, or Shogun getting the submission or TKO. Hopefully the Shogun of old is back in form.

Here's a video for you guys, Shogun winning the Middleweight Gran Prix in 2005, his second time fighting that night. Enjoy.

Happy Easter
