started doing this split and honestly my body thanks me
Three weeks into this and I'm actually noticing a difference so I figured I'd share.
Basically I got fed up of yoga-only weeks where I felt bendy but kind of weak, and gym-only weeks where everything hurt and I couldn't touch my toes. So I just... merged them. Very unscientifically lol.
What I'm doing now:
Monday — strength focus. Bodyweight mostly. Push-ups, squats, resistance band rows. Nothing mad, like 35-40 mins
Tuesday — longer yoga flow. Yin or vinyasa depending on how Monday went
Thursday — strength again but lower body heavy. Glute bridges, single-leg deadlifts, lateral band walks (these are horrendous btw)
Friday or Saturday — flexibility and breathwork. Sometimes just 20 mins if the week's been a lot
Wednesday and Sunday are rest or a walk with Chai.
The thing I've noticed — and I'm not saying this fixes everything — is that the strength sessions actually feel easier when I'm keeping up with the flexibility work. My hips don't seize up mid-squat anymore which was genuinely embarrassing.
Also started having a proper snack with some protein before the strength days rather than training fasted like I used to. That changed things more than I expected.
It's not a perfect programme or anything. Some weeks Thursday doesn't happen. But having a rough structure that mixes both has been proper good for me.
