Yoga is amazing. The strength, agility and balance required are incredible. I love watching people who have mastered yoga.

Today was a lower body day in the weight room. Did four sets of everything to muscle failure on the last set. I figured out how to use the leg press machine to do a version of seated calf raises. Doing the calf raises with the knees flexed takes gastrocnemius out of the picture and puts the emphasis on soleus. By the time I finished the last set my calves were shaking and twitching REAL GOOD! I ended my workout with some serious ab work and now I'm STARVING!

I don't want to work out on my own unless its some crazy workout that will give me a few pounds. I'm 5'8" and 128lbs.

Have you tried protein and weight gaining powders? You just add them into smoothies and shakes and they are supposed to help you add a little bit to your frame and help with muscle building, if you were to go that route.
