Get Your Exercise On With These Great Yoga Starter Sets

I’m not one who loves to exercise, preferring a nice vodka and club at 5 pm to trudging to the gym. But, I do certainly recognize the importance of staying in some sort of shape (mine adheres to the sofa….).

When I do manage to drag myself to the gym, I like to take a class and Yoga or Pilates classes are top on my list.

I like Yoga as it increases flexibility and, when done with some effort, it increases muscle mass also. A longer, leaner torso is my goal – I just appear to be stuck being short and squat…

Regardless, when I do manage to join a  class, I wipe down the communal mat within an inch of its life with antibiotic swipes, towels – basically anything I can find to disinfect the yoga mat.

I pick up a small towel that has been soaked in other people’s sweat at the front desk of the gym. That can’t be good, right?!

With flu season gaining speed this year, I decided to take the plunge and buy my own yoga starter set. That way, I’m only on a mat that previously has held just my own bodily fluids. And, that sweaty towel? It’s never touched another dewy brow beside my own.

So, I took the plunge and bought a good quality Yoga starter set. Yoga starter sets come with a few different items to help you in your yoga session:

• Mat. Make no bones about it; Yoga mats come in vastly different qualities. I prefer a 1/2″ mat or otherwise, my knees kill me when doing some of the floor yoga exercises.
• Towel. A good towel is essential to cushion the head when working on floor exercises. It’s also great to wipe away the sweat at the end of a good yoga session.
• Strap. Instead of using one of my husband’s good neckties to pull my leg a fraction of an inch closer to my torso, a yoga strap works perfectly. If it’s a good stretch you want, a yoga strap is the implement you want to grab.
• Foam Blocks. I’ll admit it…I rarely use these although they make a pretty good elevation spot to put Dash The Basset’s food bowl on….

Yoga Socks

Bare feet are always welcomed in a Yoga studio but I prefer to wear Yoga socks – I tend to slip less that way. My love of being barefoot and my need for grip are both accommodated a pair of toeless Yoga socks like some of those below.
