Yoga for Regular Guys: The Best Damn Workout on the Planet!

TWO
    Now straighten that right leg so that both legs are together; keep pressing that right hand into the floor while you squeeze your belly in and lift your hips up toward the sky, coming into Side Plank Two. Hold this position for three to five deep breaths.
    Now do the same sequence on the opposite side.
    Shoulder Rolls: Opener
    This one opens your shoulders and relaxes your neck while you stretch your back and hamstrings. When I first started this position, I was so tight I could barely even grab my hands, so I would use a towel to give myself a little cheat until I didn’t have to cheat anymore. Today I can adjust my back just by grabbing my hands behind my back and rolling my shoulders back—I’m so glad I stuck with it.

STAND TALL
    Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Clasp your hands behind your back, interlace your fingers, and straighten your arms. Inhale, lift your chest and chin, and roll your shoulders back.

FOLD FORWARD
    Exhale and fold forward as you pull those fists toward the ceiling, keep your legs straight, and relax your neck. Stay in this position for five deep breaths.

STAND TALL
    Take a deep inhalation while you slowly come all the way up to standing, and lean way back.

MOUNTAIN POSITION
    Exhale, relax your arms to your sides, and let your body reset itself. It’s easy to experience some dizziness while you’re coming out of it, so do this one nice and slow.

TOUCHDOWN
    Stand with your feet hip-width apart. Inhale and reach your arms up into Touchdown.

THUNDERBOLT
    Exhale and slowly squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Inhale, lift your chest, squeeze your shoulder blades back, and look up at your hands.

THUNDERBOLT
    Inhale and lift your torso back up into Thunderbolt.

LIE FORWARD
    Exhale, lean over your thighs, and sit back just a little lower.
    Repeat the sequence until you reach your Maximum Aerobic Heart Rate.
    Whoopin’ Warriors
    Get hot as you rotate between Road Warrior One and Road Warrior Two.

MOUNTAIN POSITION
    Stand with your feet hip-width apart.

ROAD WARRIOR TWO
    Now inhale, swing your right foot forward, and bend your right knee deeply as you bring your right arm forward and your left arm back. Exhale and strongly engage your arm and leg muscles to your bones.

ROAD WARRIOR ONE
    Inhale and reach both arms to the sky as you lift your chest and roll your shoulder blades back into Road Warrior One.

ROAD WARRIOR ONE
    Exhale and pivot on the balls of your feet to rotate your whole body around so that you are facing the the back of your mat. Now your left knee is bending deeply.

ROAD WARRIOR TWO
    Exhale, move to Road Warrior Two by keeping that left knee bent, and bring your left arm forward and your right arm back as you look over that left hand.

ROAD WARRIOR ONE
    Inhale and reach back up into Road Warrior One.

ROAD WARRIOR ONE
    Exhale, and rotate back to the front of your mat with your right knee bending deeply.

ROAD WARRIOR TWO
    Exhale, and move to Road Warrior Two once again.
    Repeat steps 3 through 8 until you reach your Maximum Aerobic Heart Rate.

HOLDING BACK THE HANDS OF TIME
    Many people ask me how I managed to start my wrestling career at age thirty-five and stay at the top of my game well on my way to being fifty. As I am writing this book with the Yoga-Doc, I am once again on a comeback tour and back in the ring at the age of forty-eight. It’s all about preventative maintenance and holding back the hands of time.
    I have many friends in the wrestling business who could have lengthened their wrestling careers if they had just taken some extra time to fix the
