I've spent the bulk of my online time today putting together this list of links to exercises I may want to integrate into my workout and some that I already consistently do*. I may add more eventually cuz I'm feeling lean and mean after a couple hearty workouts today (while Z was napping and after Aaron came home and that ugly post earlier). I hope I don't cave later and have more of a snack than this banana I just grabbed from the kitchen. I've been working hard this week and with a few additions to my workout sequences I may have a really good weigh in/measure this Saturday. I'd say right now that I do about 30% weight/strength training, 40% yoga, 20% cardio, and 10% free-form (dancing, tossing Z, etc). I switch up my routine daily and try new things a lot.

I switch up my routine daily and try new things a lot. However, I'm thinking of focusing more attention towards yoga and increasing my flexibility. I don't think I'm quite back at the same level I was 5 years ago when I did yoga every single day. But I think soon enough I will be and I want to actually surpass my abilities from before and start doing more advanced poses. All the ones above here are beginner or intermediate and are all poses I can do (or try at least one rep of). I think that if I slowly work at it I could eventually become really good at advanced yoga.
As a little aside, I'm watching Aaron play Dead Space 2 right now and hot damn is that shit brutal! But kind of awesome too...
