The April I Pitty the Fool Challenge

Yesterday was April Fools Day and I found it nothing more than the right fit to issue a Challenge for the month of April. There are 30 days this month and Spring is in the air. It is time for Team DDP Yoga to step up their game. The challenge is to make sure that you do at least one DDP Yoga workout every day this month. For me, it is a true challenge, because I know that a month has not gone by where I haven't taken a day of laziness here and there. Someone mentioned that I should make sure I get my rest. Well, besides my normal 8 hours sitting at a desk and my 8 hours of sleep at night, rest is the one thing that got me to where I am. I can afford to go 30 days.. Can you? Steve

Getting Certified

Since February 14th of this year 2014 I have been a consciencous student of the DDP Yoga Certification program. I have dove into this head first without even looking back. Leading up to the weekend of signing up, I was holding off as much as possible. There were thoughts running through my mind, as if I couldn't be a roll model, inspiration, or even a good teacher. But then something hit me, something deep down inside just ignited the furnace. Very similar to the day back in 2012 that I decided to change my life for once and for all. I have been going very strong with the DDP Yoga program since the beginning. Granted, I haven't seen much in the "weight loss" department but have seen by far so much more! Weight loss is truly just a side effect to the DDP Yoga program. I have received so many other great benefits such as strength, endurance, flexibility, motivation, inspiration, group support, friendships, pain loss and management, energy, oh did i say energy? yes I have tremendous amounts of energy. But most importantly, I have received the gift of giving back! One of my many goals going forward with this certification program is to "give back". I want to help others do what I have accomplished. For many years, i spend countless hours in a wrestling ring. I have seen some great teachers come and go. The one thing, that I took from those great teachers are their actual care in helping others succeed. My days of truly giving wrestlers a very long extensive workout are over, but i will continue to teach and help inspire and motive other up and comers. There is so much for a young wrestler to learn as far as being a performer, but there are so many other levels that young wrestler who is about to venture out on a long and brutal career beating not only other people up, but their bodies as well. With DDP Yoga, they can learn how to take care of themselves from within. These students can learn to take care of their bodies through proper form, exercise, conditioning as well as nutrition and health. The DDP Yoga workouts will not only help heal and prepare their bodies for the work load that is going to be in store for them, but the program will also take their own fitness and athleticism to a whole new level. I can say that first hand, because Even though my go to workout is DDP Yoga, I get times (such as tonight) to want to go and hit the weights. When I go into the gym, I find myself getting a tremendous all around workout because of my increased strength not only in my major muscle groups, but also in my core and stabilizer muscles. I have better endurance to push through a long full body workout, more than I ever have. And by the time I exit those gym doors, the endorphines are shooting through my body like I am high on the best drug in the world... and I am, and that drug is LIFE.... So as I am getting closer to starting my own DDP Yoga workouts with other people, I have never been more ready for something in my life. DDP Yoga consumes my entire being. And with the huge support system that we have either on Team DDP Yoga.com or the Facebook Groups, or even DDP Radio, we are about to make tremendous waves in the future of fitness. Be well and keep spreading the motivation, Bang Steve Langer

Happy Anniversary to my journey

one year ago today I set out on a journey that I wasn't sure about. 365 days later, I am in the best shape of my adult life. True, my weight is still not where I want it to be yet, but my strength, cardio, flexibility, endurance, health and life are a million times better today! February 25th 2014! Thanks to DDP for believing in people like us. Because without his positive attitude I would still be a fish swimming around trying to find what can save my life! i also want to thank this great support group on Team DDP Yoga. So many to mention and to all of my friends and family who have supported me thus far. The journey has only just begun! I will be certified to teach this life changing fitness program within the next few months Lord Willing and I will be on my way to creating the army that is called DDP YOGA! BBBBBBANNGGGGGG!!!!!!
