    I had a hard time on champix - lot of standing on a balcony looking over and wondering if it is high enough. I really wouldn't recommend it at all. Obviously, some people are fine on it, my mate was, but the risk...

    I'm the same. I'm ok until I go out. I use e-cigs though as I struggle to quit and stay off fags...it's a slightly safer option. But when I go out, I'll smoke. I go out about once every ten days or so, it's a big improvement, but far from perfect.

    Well worth a try mate, I hope you can find a good one.
    If you need any help/advice, see you in the tai chi forum :)

    Finding Tai Chi was massive for me on the 'civil level'... I can't tell you.

    Try to think of it more as an ongoing dynamic process than a sustained but static state.

    Just been practicing headstand.

    Might do some more of that.

    And some goblet squats 16kg, door frame pullups, and 30kg trap bar deadlifts later...

    Sorry for not logging more often. I have just been doing the ashtanga yoga classes 3 times a week.

    My regular yoga class is cancelled for the next 2 weeks. So I will have to try some different things. My options are:
    Tai chi, 'a different yoga' and if I'm feeling brave; Capoeira.

    No ballet in your area? :O

    Thanks.

    That's a good idea. I'll consider it.

    Poor sleep patterns really mess up coordination. Which would be embarrassing in front of a class of mainly girls.

    LOL :D don't worry about it. Typical classes have a variety of skill levels. The girls fall down sometimes too. :D A good teacher will be able to judge your skill level after watching you a bit and can modify things for your level and progress you along at your rate. For example, she might give you the same routine as the others, but without the complicated parts (such as giving you the option of single pirouette instead of double).:cool:

    Capoeira is highly social. Can be a challenge, but might also be incredibly rewarding if it works out okay. Also the music is good and the activity itself is insanely fun. Taiji otoh involves a lot of introspection, so take that into consideration (I would put them on opposite ends of the same spectrum re: which to choose, with the other Yoga in the middle).

    Yep the loud music in Capoeira means I don't have to bother making small talk.

    AndrewTheAndroid A hero for fun.

    Cappoira looks to me like going out to a club where as Taiji is more like going to the pub.
