      Trying to survive shingles. At age 50 its hit me hard - I've put on 2 kilos in the last 3 weeks since I haven't exercised due to lack of energy, and general nerve pain in my leg.

      Trying something new - signed up for a 3 month subscription to DDP Yoga. Will post some updates as I progress to share my experiences

        @Stockcar86 I had shingles when I was a kid, so I know your pain!

        I've also thought about doing yoga, primarily because of the young ladies I see carrying their yoga mats...

          Shingles survivor here too. It's not nice at all and knowing it can come back at anytime means you are more conscious about managing stress and general health.

          Have done a bit of yoga over the years and it's harder than it looks that is for sure. What is DDP? Downward Dog??

            There is a shingles vaccine.
            Might be a good idea to get it.

              Yeah its recommended for those over 50 but guess could get it younger.

              Also, if you already had/got shingles I'm not sure if the vacinne works

                ha! my folks just got it. Apparently it's 66% effective or something. Certainly better than not getting it, but not a magic bullet... Mum gave dad some shit about that piece of info... but not sure if it was painful or there were some side effects that had Ma Paekakboyz in a grumpy mood!

                      Yeah, you can't get the vaccine till you turn 50. I got hit by shingles 7 days after my 50th when on holiday in Japan, when I already had an appointment to see my doctor the week I got back. Timing is everything

                        Finally got started. The shingles has fucked me up a bit - can only do 1/2 days at work, and even after that I need to come home and sleep for a few hours. It seems a lot like when I got mono in my 20's.

                        Anyway, as history I have a bad back from 10 years of stockcar racing (imagine getting multiple whiplash injuries every Saturday night for 6 months out of the year), and a bad knee (4 operations to try and stop the kneecap dislocating following a bad injury as a teenager.

                        The above paragraph was something to explain why I'm just starting on the beginner beginner exercises (pre-beginnner).

                        Just did the first 6 exercises
                        Touchdown into Diamond Cutter
                        Touchdown side Bends
                        Lunge
                        Lunge with knee droppers
                        Knee droppers
                        One Legged position

                        Was a bit funny with the standard exercises given the DDP touch - doing the diamond cutter, and the Hulk Hogan flex. After a while it seems normal. I can imagine going into a standard yoga class and doing all their moves wrong.

                        Anyway, after all that I was sweating like I'd been masturbating for a month. Will try the other 6 intro exercises tomorrow

                          How’s it working out for you?

                          Love this video

                          Arthur was told he would never walk unassisted. With DDP Yoga, this disabled veteran learned to run again. This is his success story.
