NAME CHANGE

OU Advocates are for everyoneThe OU Sexual Assault Response Team now bears an inclusive titleDANIELLE WIERENGANews Reporter@Weirdenga

The OU Sexual Assault Response Team has changed its name to OU Advocates to reflect its wider base of services.

The name change occurred after the Sexual Assault Response Team expanded its services to address many issues students face, such as relationship violence and stalking, as well as sexual assault, said Kathy Moxley, Women’s Outreach Center director.

Moxley said the new name, OU Advocates, will more accurately reflect the range of services the program offers and addresses who the program helps.

“We serve more than just women,” Moxley said. “We also serve men and people who are gender-queer.”

The program’s advocates are a diverse group of men and women who come from different areas of campus, Moxley

said.Like its predecessor, OU Advocates offers students in cri-

sis resources, such as talking with counselors or advocates in person or through email. The group also has a 24/7 con-fidential hotline at 405-615-0013.

OU Advocates will also sustain the Sexual Assault Response Team’s “Step In, Speak Out” campaign, which encourages OU students to aid victims of sexual harass-ment and assault and victims of relationship violence.

Throughout the summer, OU Advocates and the Women’s Outreach Center will hold One Sooner training for students. One Sooner aims to teach and engage stu-dents to end sexual misconduct on campus, Moxley said.

The next One Sooner training will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 23. Students can register for the training at the Student Life website.

JOHN WALKERSPORTS REPORTER

As the sun begins to set after hours of beating on the field at the crossroads of Jenkins Avenue and Timberdell Road, field hockey president and player Jessica Lamers suits up in heavily-padded gear and begins to position underneath the netted goal.

Moments later, a shot is fired toward the lower left corner of the net. Without hesitation, Lamers extends her right leg and denies the ball.

“Excellent job, Jessica!” field hockey coach Kathleen Fitzgerald said.

In addition to her on-field duties, Lamers is also in charge of spreading light on a fairly new club sport to the Norman campus.

The field hockey program is a club sports organization that began in the fall of 2011 by the aid of OU graduate Maria Mancebo. She took the initiative of meeting the require-ments of organizing a club sport: recruiting players, sched-uling games and finding transportation.

As a result, a core of officers and players began to align and grow as the club expanded.

The field hockey team is rich in its diversity. The club is available to join for both men and women and experience is not a requirement. Johnson assists newcomers during prac-tice to help grasp the basic fundamentals of the sport.

This year’s foam is com-ing from longtime foam party organizer, known as “The Foam Guy,” and the foam is coming all the way from Colorado, Ginac said.

“It’s the beginning of the year, bring friends, have fun,” Ginac said. “It ’s a unique experience you ar-en’t going to find anywhere else on campus, and it’s free.”

The goal of the program is to help students develop their vocal projection, body language and timing to express them-selves effectively and persuasively, Minks said.

“Many deep thinkers and high achievers tend to be on the shy side,” Minks said. “It is useful to learn how to present your-self in a confident way.”

Students who attend the class every week will receive a cer-tificate and dinner with a special guest, according to an email sent by the college.

Evening sessions on interviewing in specific areas will be open to all Honors College students.

This workshop sprung from an initiative proposed by a pri-vate donor, Minks said.

Though the workshops are exclusive to Honors College stu-dents, other resources, such as OU Career Services, provide career preparation opportunities for all students, Minks said.

The workshop section meeting at 9:30 a.m. is currently full, but Honors College students who wish to sign up for the 10:30 a.m. class should email Minks at amandaminks@ou.edu.

Reaching for the stars is more a reality than a cliché for one engineering physics and mathematics senior.

Daniel Grimmer recently received a scholarship from The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation for his prowess in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Grimmer is one of 28 students picked based on merit and is the eighth OU student to be selected for this scholarship.

According to the Astronaut Scholarship website, schol-arship recipients must be incoming juniors or seniors who have shown excellence in their studies in engineering, mathematics or natural or applied science.

Grimmer said he was ex-cited when he found out about the award.

“It is going to sound bad, but I was proud of my-self,” Grimmer said. “It is a great way to start the end of things.”

Scholarship recipients do not have to be consider-ing a career as an astronaut, according to the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation website.

Grimmer has big future plans, but said they may not be quite as big as space. Grimmer said he does not plan to pursue a permanent career as an astronaut or studying outer space; and, if the award swayed him from his future plans, it would only do so temporarily.

Instead, Grimmer plans to study physics in graduate school, either at Penn State University or the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada.

In addition to being an astronaut scholar, Grimmer is also the vice president of the OU Citizen Science Club, where he and other students teach science to the community.

The Citizen Science Club is trying to communicate that science is everywhere — even in one’s own backyard, he said.

Outside of science, Grimmer is an advocate for the ani-mals at Second Chance Animal Sanctuary.

With a hectic schedule, Grimmer said he doesn’t have much free time.

EDITORIAL

Be responsible Saturday at the gameOur View: OU’s first football game of the year is Saturday and students need to be responsible and safe to have a fun game day.

The greatest time of the year is nearly upon us. It’s almost football time in Oklahoma. Saturday marks OU’s first football game of the season and will pro-vide students a day chock-full of school spirit and fun. While we encourage all students to embrace the mania of Sooner football, we want students to be safe and smart at the game. Below are tips on how to enjoy game day while staying healthy, following traf-fic laws and still having fun.

BEAT THE HEATWe have to remember that it is still August in

Oklahoma, and Sooners need to be safe while en-joying the game in the summer heat. We have all experienced the distinct sensation of melting while trekking to classes this semester in weather over 100 degrees. And come Saturday, thousands of students will be outside in that heat for hours. Mercifully, the weather forecast calls for slightly lower temperatures on Saturday, but that’s no excuse not to be prepared for the heat. Here are ways to stay healthy and cool on Saturday:

1. Don’t forget the sunscreen. Anyone who has experienced an OU football game

from the student section knows we sit in the sun for most of the game, with an agonizing wait for the sun to dip down below the stadium during evening games. Don’t make the freshman mistake of forgo-ing sunscreen. You will end up going to class next week with rather interesting tan lines.

2. Drink! Water, not alcohol, that is. It is critical to stay hy-

drated when sitting outdoors in 90 degree weath-er for hours on end. Drink water before the game, during and after. And if you must drink alcoholic beverages on game day, drink even more water to combat the dehydration alcohol causes. Don’t be the kid that passes out during the first game of the year because you forgot to stock up on H2O.

GET TO THE GAME SAFELYStudents who live on campus are especially fortu-

nate on game days because they don’t have to deal with the headache of driving and parking to get to

the game. However, for all the commuter students out there, we feel your pain.

It seems that all basic traffic laws go out the win-dow on game days in Norman, with standstill traffic, road closures and more cars than sense in the area. The Norman Police Department sums up driving on game day best in a press release: “come early, park legally and enjoy your time in Norman.”

If you live out of town or far from campus, your best bet for parking on game day is to park at a friend’s house, with express permission, and walk to the stadium. People illegally parking on private property can face hefty fees in the form of traffic tick-ets and towing charges. So be smart about where you park and make sure if you leave your car on pri-vate property that you have the consent of the owner.

Fortunately, all local I-35 interchanges will be open on game day, according to the Norman PD press release. However, there is major construction on State Highway 9 between Classen Blvd. and 48th Avenue, with traffic reduced to one lane in both di-rections for the four mile stretch. Unless you love sitting in traffic, we recommend arriving in Norman early for the game, even the day before if you can find a place to stay. Game days are immensely more enjoyable when you plan ahead to do as little driving as possible that day.

EXPERIENCE SOONER MAGICLastly, we urge all students — even those who

think football is awful — to experience at least one home game at OU. Saturday would be a great time to dip your feet in the waters of OU football because you’ll more than likely know what it feels like for your team to win a game. OU is a 38 point favorite

over our first opponent, Louisiana Tech University, and the Sooners are 99 percent likely to win.

There truly is nothing like a home football game in Norman. The sense of community, shared passion and love for the Sooners at Owen Field on a Saturday is a feel-ing that can’t be captured through a

TV. You never know until you try, so give OU football a chance, especially if it’s your first year here.

We want our fellow students to use our sugges-tions to have a safe and fun game day. Drink water, use sunscreen and don’t park in sketchy places. Most of all, soak up the joy of being a student watch-ing your team play at home, and do so responsibly. See you on Saturday and Boomer Sooner.

Sooners return faster, strongerStoops optimistic of upcoming season despite suspended, ineligible players

CARSON WILLIAMSSports Reporter @CarsonWilliams4

It’s been 238 days since sophomore quarterback Trevor Knight and the Oklahoma Sooners shocked the world, up-setting Alabama, a team many believed to be the best in the nation at the time.

Saturday evening Knight will get his first opportuni-ty to prove to critics that he wasn’t just a one-hit wonder when the Sooners take on Louisiana Tech at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

Poised for a chance to play in the inaugural College Football Playoff, the Sooners are ranked No. 3 in the Preseason Amway Coaches Poll and No. 4 in the Preseason AP Poll.

Head coach Bob Stoops believes this offseason has been more productive than any they have had in years, and started with getting players on the practice field.

“We’ve had a great summer camp leading up to the fall,” Stoops said. “This may be the healthiest we’ve ever been and have had the fewest guys out of practice we’ve ever had … I feel like we’ll be deeper overall as a team.”

The offense brings back eight returning starters includ-ing newly-converted senior tight end Blake Bell.

“We’re all getting ready out there and got some stuff to clean up and prepare for before Saturday but I think every-one’s ready to play,” Bell said.

A few players will not suit up in the crimson and cream. Three have already been ruled out for the season due to team suspension or denied eligibility.

Freshman running back Joe Mixon, senior lineback-er Frank Shannon and ju-nior transfer wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham will not see the field at all this year.

“It ’s like anything, we coach the players that are there,” defensive coordina-tor Mike Stoops said. “It’s pretty much how it goes. All we can control are the players that are on the field. That ’s a l l w e ever have controlled.”

Of the guys that will be on the field for Oklahoma, ju-nior wide receiver Sterling Shepard will be counted upon heavily as virtually the only receiver with significant experience.

However, junior wide receiver Durron Neal has seen

limited action in previous years — including two starts last year — and will be an-other target for Knight to look to. Freshmen Michiah Quick and K.J. Young have also been turning heads this offseason and expect to get their share of catches.

On the defensive side of the ball, things are shaping up to be Bob Stoops’ best defense in his 16 seasons in Norman, despite not having Shannon — the team’s lead-er in tackles last year.

In the second year of a restructured scheme, linebackers Geneo Grissom and Eric Striker lead a daunting defense that brings back nine starters.

Sophomores Dominique Alexander and Jordan Evans round out the linebacker group and will look to build off solid freshman campaigns.

In the secondary, sophomore Zack Sanchez and senior Julian Wilson highlight the defensive backs. Wilson made the switch from safety to cornerback this year.

“It went as good as we could have hoped for,” Bob Stoops said. “He’s so intelligent and was recruited as a corner so he has that kind of speed.”

That speed is something this defense will look to utilize in their pursuit of an eighth national title.

As for Louisiana Tech, they’re hoping to improve off of last year’s 4-8 campaign. Redshirt senior Cody Sokol gets the nod as the starting quarterback, hoping to spoil Sooner fans’ opening day excitement.

Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

Even as a veteran, she hasn’t lost her passion for the game.

“I really enjoy coaching,” she said. “I love the sport and I really enjoyed working with the college students.”

While the team aims toward competing at a high level, the coach emphasizes team chemistry and placing players in the best position to succeed.

“It’s a team, it’s a competition,” Fitzgerald said. “But there’s also a lot of camaraderie and team support for the players.”

FOOTBALL

Uniforms should stay traditional

7 National Championships.5 Heisman Trophy Winners.

47 Game Winning-Streak.2 Alternate Uniforms?

One of these things is not like the others. With a football program boasting more tradition than almost any other school in the country,

Oklahoma took a step back this summer when it an-nounced the team would be wearing two new alternate uniforms in 2014.

Many fans are fine with the change. Those people say that they are not meant to appease the donors and tick-et-holders (you know, the ones who give money to the football program) but to be used as a recruiting tool. Kids love new and shiny things, right?

However, the likelihood that a top recruit is committed to a certain school based on uniform cool-factor is very, very low. Which is more attractive: new number font and wood-grain helmets (we will get to those in a second), or a history littered with trophies and rings?

Players come to Oklahoma to win championships and go to Oklahoma State to play dress-up. It seems our ath-letic office has briefly forgotten this idea.

Moving on to the actual uniforms, the first thing that stands out is a subtle wood grain pattern scattered about each of the combinations. From the pant stripes, to the sleeves, to the helmets, it hails from the Nike-created tag-line “Bring the Wood.”

The “wood” here refers to the Sooner Schooner. Evidently, what no one pointed out in design meetings is the wood grain on the uniform and the Schooner’s wood look nothing alike. The pattern on the uniform is more reminiscent of tree bark than anything else (sort of ironic when you consider the lack of trees on a football field.)

According to the outfitter, the uniforms are all about re-specting the past. The new anthracite facemasks “harken to the Rough Riders of the late 19th century.”

The Rough Riders were a group of volunteer soldiers led by Theodore Roosevelt during the Spanish-American

War. Apparently, they were famous for their football face-masks as well.

Oklahoma has respected the past with alternate uni-forms twice in the Bob Stoops era; once in 2003 and again in 2009. Both uniforms were throwbacks to the Bud Wilkinson teams of the 1940s and ’50s, clean and simple.

Clean and simple has always been what OU football is about. The Sooner uniform has always been about the name on the front of the jersey and the logo on the side of the helmet, not the pattern hidden in the stripes and the number font.

Leave flashy uniforms to the Oregons and Oklahoma States of the world; those programs with nothing else to boast.

If Oklahoma is going to claim a program built on tradi-tion, then it should stay with a traditional look.

Talk to explore selfie trend

MACY MUIRHEADLife & Arts Reporter

A Google search of the word “selfie” reveals how c o m p l e x t h e s e e m i n g -l y s i m p l e s o c i a l m e d i a trend can be. Search re-sults range from the Oxford Dictionary’s definition of its 2013 Word of the Year to a music video for the wild-ly popular summer jam “#SELFIE.”

Today the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art will explore the social media obses-sion during the first of two FREDTalks planned for the fall semester. Speakers will address the topic of the “sel-fie” and what its practice re-veals about modern culture and identity by discussing their selfie-related experi-ences from an artist’s per-spective with the audience.

FREDTalks is a program that started in the fall of 2013. Past topics have in-cluded blasphemy, the idea of journeys and the impor-tance of place. They are somewhat of a mash-up between popular TEDTalks and a high-speed presen-tation format known as PechaKucha according to S u s a n B a l e y , the museum’s D i r e c t o r o f Education.

“ W e ’ r e e x -ploring, more specifically, on i ssu e s o f c re -ativity, and how artists respond to some of the things happen-ing in contem-p o r a r y l i f e ,” Baley said.

M e g h a n Bradley, a pub-l i c r e l a t i o n s sophomore, is in the minori-ty that does not take selfies or understand the obsession with them.

“I’m still trying to figure out why it’s such a big deal.

Why do people feel the need to go look at themselves in

the mirror of a bathroom and go ‘Duck face!’ o r ‘ S e l f i e ! ’ ? ” Bradley said.

T h r e e i n -dividuals will attempt to an-swer questions like Bradley’s at FREDTalks. Mary Kathryn Moeller, OSU a d j u n c t l e c -t u r e r o f a r t h i s t o r y , a n d Krystle Brewer, a ss o c i at e d i -re c t o r o f 1 0 8 Contemporary art gal ler y in T u l s a , w i l l speak together about their art

exhibition during the talks. The pair curated Selfie: An Exhibition on Identity at

MAINSITE Contemporary Art in Norman earlier this year. Moeller said that when she and Brewer called for art submissions, they did not intend the show to be solely a showcase of selfies.

“We kind of co-oped the work to draw attention to the fact that artists have been doing self-portraiture since the beginning of time and just show how this has been a kind of bread and butter of identity as it has progressed,” Moeller said.

Delta Murphy, an OU alumna, will serve as the other speaker. Murphy will join the talk via Skype to dis-cuss a class project she did last year. For her project, she posted flyers on campus asking for strangers to send her a selfie accompanied by a fact that others might not know about them, said Baley.

‘‘submissions to create a playing card game where players were to tr y to match each selfie with its correct fact. The project was intended to ques-tion how people choose to present themselves through selfies.

Moeller said that she hopes to make this a col-laborative effort with the audience. The talks will be an opportunity for stu-dents to discuss relevant topics with like-minded people.

“We hope that since almost every student has taken a selfie, they will resonate with the discus-sion,” Baley said.

HOROSCOPE By Eugenia Last

THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 2014

Itʼs time to pull together the knowledge and expertise you have acquired over the years and fi nd a way to put it to good use. Let go of uncertainty and doubt, and trust in your skills. Any challenges can be conquered if you donʼt let situations fester.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you are ambivalent about your current career, look into other options. Itʼs never too late to change your direction, go after a dream or pick up a new skill.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- You may be feeling uncertain about a situ-ation at work. If immediate action isnʼt necessary, focus on doing the best job possible. Keeping busy will help free your mind from worry.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Donʼt let anyone push you to make a hasty decision. Take all the time you need to investigate the details of a pend-ing fi nancial, legal or medical matter.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your popularity is growing within your peer group. Donʼt take any of your relationships for granted, or the tables will turn. Nurturing what you have built with others will always be necessary.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Donʼt listen to someone who is cynical. Once you have decided the best route, keep moving forward. Itʼs pointless to wait for everyoneʼs blessings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Make sure that everyone around you is

clear about your intentions. Your in-sight will inspire others to follow you, giving you the support and muscle required to reach your goals.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You are a dependable and dedicated person, but itʼs also important to take time to replenish and rejuvenate. Donʼt take on demands or errands at the risk of getting run-down.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A hasty decision could turn out badly if you havenʼt checked your sources. Before you proceed, check to see if someone with ulterior motives has misled you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Procras-tination will be your downfall. You have decided on your direction, so donʼt waste time second-guessing your moves. Take the plunge and get on with your life.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You donʼt have to blow your budget to enjoy some lively entertainment. Love and romance are knocking at your door. Make special plans to do something within your means.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your op-ponents will not give an inch. Instead of stepping into the spotlight where it is easy for others to criticize your actions, keep your ideas quiet until your presentation is fl awless.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Good advice is useless if you donʼt take it. Listen to the experts to discover a way to overcome anything you face. A delay could cause trouble.

If you ever oversleep and wake up only to discover you have 30 minutes to get to class, this is just for you. Let’s be honest, 20 of those pre-cious minutes will be spent trying to find parking. So you have 10 minutes — five minutes for leggings and a tank top and five minutes for makeup. Don’t worry, you’ll be fine so long as you take these easy steps for a quick

yet flawless look.When you’ve got plans

that night and need a way to switch it up without starting from scratch, follow the sec-ond set of steps. People will think you even showered. Here’s a quick look you can take from day to night at the bat of your lashes.

DAYTIME: A little coverage, a lot of sass.

1. First, before any kind of

makeup is applied to that beautiful face of yours, wash your hands so you prevent transferring bacteria from your fingers to your skin. Nobody has time for break-outs. Prevent them if you can.

2 . Make sure you mois-turize. If the moisturizer has SPF, that’s even better. Apply with your fingertips upwards from chin to forehead to

avoid pulling at the skin too harshly.

3. Now it’s time for the sec-ond round of moisture. This time, make it tinted. Skip the heavy foundation and use tinted moisturizer instead. It makes for a more natural look and doesn’t get ruined when your face sweats from walking to all of your classes in the heat.

4. Almost there! One swipe

of mascara on the top lashes will open up your eyes and make you seem more awake. No need for shadow or liner.

5. Your no-makeup make-up is all set. Darling, you’re perfect.

N I G HTt IM E : Step it up a notch with tinted lips

C lass es are over. You h a v e a d a t e . N o w y o u must enhance your face. Remember that you are

only heightening your beau-ty. Changing the way your face looks entirely is syn-onymous with lying. Plus, you’re in a hurry and only have five minutes to update your makeup.

1 . Use a small brush of any kind to apply a very thin amount of foundation to the upper part of your forehead near your hairline, diago-nally on the hollows of your

cheeks and down the sides of your nose. Pick a founda-tion that is one or two shades darker than your own skin tone.

2 . Blend, blend, blend. If you don’t, you will destroy any chances of taking a good selfie.

3. Once you have blended like crazy, it’s time for eye-liner. On the outside corner of each eye, simply smudge

a small bit of liner on the top and bottom lids. Use a cot-ton swab to blend it.

4 . Add mascara to your bottom lids just as you did to your top lashes previously.

5. Finally, pick a lip color. Lip stain, lipstick or lip gloss will make your lips pop and pump up the drama to your previously daytime look.

6. Your date will love you, I promise.

1) Running: Build muscle, but avoid the heat.Running is one of the best de-stressers because it works absolutely ev-

erything, from your neck all the way down to your toes. It especially engag-es the core, so if you want to work on your core strength, running is a good place to start. If you find you can run a mile without breaking a sweat, run farther. Or better yet, run farther and faster. The faster you run, the more fast-twitch muscle fibers (muscle fibers that enable certain movements) you use, which are the same fibers you utilize when you lift weights. That means if you want to do sprints rather than a traditional run you’ll end up burning more calories, building more muscle size than you would with a normal run and feeling more relaxed at the end of it all thanks to all those extra endorphins that were released.

CAUTION: If you plan on running outside between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., think again. Even if you’re in good shape, the summer heat is dangerous. You’re not going to give yourself a better workout by running in it; howev-er, you might give yourself heatstroke. Go to the Huston Huffman Fitness Center. It’s free for students with an ID card, and they have an awesome indoor track as well as treadmills. If you want to run outside, do it while the sun is low.

2) Swimming: Backstroke to burn calories.Like running, swimming works everything. In fact, since you’re moving

by pushing against the water (which is much thicker than air), it’s almost like you’re using weights. Basically, if you want to build some muscle but don’t want to lift weights or do sprints, swimming is the answer. Another huge benefit of swimming is that there is a variety of ways to do it. You can do breaststroke, backstroke, butterfly or even doggy-paddle. Like the Huston Huffman, the Murray Case Sells Swim Complex is free to students and even offers classes for those who don’t know how to swim well.

CAUTION: Stay hydrated. Just because you’re in water doesn’t mean you’re not doing work and losing water. Hydration is key to feeling good while working out.

3) Biking: Sprints on wheels.This one comes with a bit of a prerequisite. You either have to own a

bicycle, or you can use the stationary bikes at the Huston Huffman. If you do own a bike, it is by far the most fun way to workout. Not only are you

Sweat the stress away

Thomas Bernsteintbernst1990@ou.edu

@tomdbernstein

LIFE & ARTS COLUMNIST School is back in session and stress is high. What’s the best way to fight that stress? Believe it or not, it’s not sleep-ing. No, the best stress reducer is in fact the absolute opposite of sleep: working out!

How can working out make you feel more relaxed when you’re already exhausted? The answers are little things called endorphins. The harder you push yourself in a workout, the more they are released. The more they are re-leased, the more relaxed you become. Get the picture?

Here are some of my favorite workouts that you can mix and match to build the perfect back-to-school de-stressing routine, with more difficult variations of the workouts for those who are more advanced.

working up a sweat (and mind you, if you’re not sweating or breathing heavily, you’re not really getting a stress-relieving workout), you’re going places. Instead of traveling only a few miles like you would on a basic run, you’ll be traveling at least five times that in the same amount of time. And you’ll be going fast! The faster you ride, the more intense your workout will be. If you really want a challenge, set your bike on the highest gear and push yourself to go as fast as you can for as long as you can.

CAUTION: Unlike running or especially swimming, you are really only working your lower body. That’s where your body’s biggest muscles are, so you’ll be sure to get a good workout and the endorphins flowing anyway.

4) Yoga: Start your day with

a “Namaste.”Yeah, I said yoga. What’s wrong with that? Absolutely nothing.

There is an enormous variety of moves; so, not only is it easy to keep the workout from getting stale, but you can make it as hard as you want. It can really help with developing your balance and flexibility, which is beneficial for other workouts, too.

The biggest challenge with yoga is knowing what to do. Obviously, signing up for a class is the best route because you can get feedback on how you’re doing, but there are other ways to learn as well. Resources like P90X’s Yoga X DVD, YouTube and books are great for collecting yoga moves. Whatever you do, make sure your workout is at least half an hour long to get the full effect.

CAUTION: If you do decide to do yoga, be careful not to push yourself too hard. It’s easier than you think to overex-tend a joint and tear a muscle. Take my advice and go easy at first... especially if you’re working your way back into shape.
