- [How The Fitbit Charge HR Changed How I Do DDPYoga](https://metamoramartialarts.com/blog/how-the-fitbit-charge-hr-changed-how-i-do-ddpyoga/) - You probably know by now I’m an advocate of the DDPYoga fitness system. I first picked it up in August 2013 after listening to Diamond Dallas Page talk about it at length during a profanity-laden episode of the Steve Austin Show. However, after hundreds of workouts, I only picked up a heart rate monitor for

We breathe in, we breathe out, hands up, now hands down, (back up, back up), tell me watcha gonna do now. *Ahem* In and out. It’s that simple, right? Yes and no. Breathing happens automatically. When we’re babies, we breathe through our diaphragm.
- [DDP Yoga Diamond Dozen: Ignition Into Touchdown](https://metamoramartialarts.com/blog/ddp-yoga-diamond-dozen-ignition-into-touchdown/) - One of the first DDP Yoga positions you’re likely to encounter is Ignition Into Touchdown. As foundational as all of the movements in the DDPY Diamond Dozen are, this one is perhaps the easiest way to start feeling dynamic resistance, which is what sets DDP Yoga apart from other yoga programs. To understand why this

Push-ups, I think, are deceptively intimidating. They taunt you by saying, “But I’m just a bodyweight exercise!” Then, as you get into your plank set-up, you start to realize that your arms are bearing a good deal of your weight. You start to

- [DDP Yoga Diamond Dozen: Dynamic Resistance Cables and Curls](https://metamoramartialarts.com/blog/ddp-yoga-diamond-dozen-dynamic-resistance-cables-and-curls/) - It’s often said that DDP Yoga gets your heart pumping by just standing still, with no running, jumping, or lifting involved. My personal favorite way to demonstrate that is with DR Curls. How To Do Dynamic Resistance Curls You already know how to get dynamic resistance going from Ignition. In case you need a reminder,

Invariably, I’m asked the question about how to
