At first yes, mostly because you’re thinking about it the whole time. Its rhythmic so once you get used to it you can zone out.

I think you're looking for something like Combat Conditioning, by Matt Furey. It's a lot of body weight exercises and is pretty intensive, plus you can work your way up. PM if you'd like me to send you a pdf copy, I have one kicking around somewhere.

J,

get your self a couple of kettle bells - say a 12 and a 16 kilo. work up to using 2 16 kilos and maybe a 24 kilo. you can do kettlebell work every day, you aren't tied to a gym, there are anough varioutions not to get bored, and you won't bulk up, you will get much much stronger.

Monday: Squats 3x3
Wednesday: DB Bench 3x3
Friday: Deadlifts 3x3

Eat adequate protein but don't overdo it (as long as you're not training for hypertrophy).

3 reps? I think that's too low, even for strength, unless you're doing surpassingly huge amounts of weight. I would go 3x5 if not 5x5.

Yeah... I also don't have the equipment to do giant weight and I don't want to get a set of big weights. This needs to be apartment type stuff. Kettlebells maybe, but bodyweight stuff is going to be most of it probably.

There are a lot of different types of yoga out there. Yes, some are just chanting and doing other semi-goofy mystic things. No judgement, just my experience.

If you want a yoga experience that will kick your butt inside out and leave you sore as hell and begging for more, you must check out Ashtanga yoga. It is demanding, requires strength, stamina, and flexibility. And it does work. Eventually every yoga teacher lets their age slip in class, and each time jaws drop because the teacher looks 15 years younger than their actual age. All this and I haven't even yet mentioned how ridiculously hot yoga girls are. Hey - they invented yoga butt, so they gotta be good.

Seriously - try it out and let us know.
