I've noticed a pattern with my fitness over the last couple of seasons, whereby, as now I'm pretty fit, the seasons finished and I still have a knock about with my kids practicing and stuff, but in the next few weeks the weathers going to close in and finally put and end to any regular practice. Jan usually sees net practice, but hardly represents anything useful with regards getting fit, so come the first match of the season I'm not in anything like what you'd call good condition. Generally it then takes around 3 or 4 months before I feel like I'm reaching peak performance once again. Looking around the web looking for ideas to maintain core strength and flexibility I stumbled across Yoga and then wondered whether there was anyone out there that practices Yoga in conjunction with their cricket? At 51 all that grunting and groaning in Gyms doesn't hold a lot of appeal, so might Yoga be a part of the solution - it also has the addition of being gentle and non impact (My knees are on their way out)?
