Rebecca30 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 So, I am on day 25 and I was in my 6th yoga class yesterday. During my downward dog I happened to look at my shins and saw some really nice definition! (*squee!*) Anyway, I walk a lot and occasionally run but have never noticed this before. Does eating this way help you build muscle faster? Or does the loss of water weight and fat just make the muscles I have easier to see? Either way, anyone else notice really motivating results?

Derval Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I guess you're eating more protein which definitely helps muscle growth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJam Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 YAAAAAAAAY! I want to tell you ALL the things I love about this post - 6th yoga class! YOU RULE...I feel like a yoga spokeslady but good for you....love the yoga, embrace the yoga, be a zen monkey! - MUSCLES!!! I mega love this and especially since you say over the shin bone muscle (very technical I know) those are hard muscles to get...I love mine and often stare at them (and take pictures of them...yeah yeah I'm lame) - My theory on this...eating this way has shed your body fat and retained water down to a level where your muscles that were hidden before are now coming out to play. Also eating lots of protein is going to help build muscle faster than not eating protein...sooo...both? I am noticing my upper body is getting more jacked...my legs get slim and muscley fast but my upper body is where I struggle but I flexed my guns (just little .22 for now ) and whoa! My collar bones are always showing now and my wedding ring doesn't fit anymore...it's too big!! Also my overall endurance is way up....loving this!

heathera Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I totally agree with MJam...both! Water weight comes off; and protein and veggies give you the punch you need for building muscle, and yes; I am seeing results as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca30 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 - 6th yoga class! YOU RULE...I feel like a yoga spokeslady but good for you....love the yoga, embrace the yoga, be a zen monkey! I don't know what it is about yoga but I love it! I am not usually one to love any sort of exercise, I just do it and try not to watch the clock. Yoga on the other hand, I did a 90 minute class and it FLEW by! Also, I have never been flexible. It runs in the family. Me, my dad and brother can't even touch our toes. Yoga fixed that! For the first time in my 30 years on this planet, I touched my toes! How long have you been going, Mjam?

MJam Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I have been going daily (or even twice or THRICE daily) since the beginning of September but I went before I had my babies so like 4 years ago too. I do Moksha hot yoga which was founded by 2 Canadians and different than Bikram, but I am a yoga addict and I am so glad you are feeling the yoga looooove!

Rebecca30 Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 Thrice daily! LOL I am quickly becoming a yoga addict and I am trying a hot class next week. Oh and Confession Tuesday...I also took an artsy instagram photo of my shin muscles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
