Yoga!
If you need some advice on how to get started, I have just the thing! I’ll leave this here, just in case.
There is an app called Down Dog. Found it through @kleinhound s log actually and it is just fantastic.
They have two yoga offerings. One is the “normal” app which ordinarily costs money, but I believe is free at the moment because of the ongoing pandemic. They also have an “Intro to Yoga” app, but the former includes all the features of the latter.
If you get the “full” version you want to click an icon in the bottom left, it looks like a graph trending upwards. It’s right next to a house icon. This gets you into the “Journeys” section which, incidentally, is where you end up from the get-go using the intro-variety of the app.
There, there are three different kinds of yoga for you to be introduced to. Vinyasa, Hatha, and Restorative.
If someone is ordinarily physically capable and want to turbo-boost their way into yoga I recommend the following,
Day 1
AM: Hatha 1
PM: Restorative 1
Day 2
AM: Hatha 2
PM: Restorative 2
Day 3
AM: Hatha 3
PM: Restorative 3
Day 4
AM: Vinyasa 1
PM: Restorative 1 (looping back)
Day 5
AM: Vinyasa 2
PM: Restorative 2
Day 6
AM: Vinyasa 3
PM: Restorative 3
After which they can do the above on a loop, or use the full-version of the app and do 1-2 sessions at the Beginner 1 level before progressing to Beginner 2.
This would be a good way for you to do something physical but that actually counts as “active recovery” rather than more exercise.
