Glass ceiling

For me, my drink ceiling on NoS days is one. Two will always contribute to weight gain in my case if it occurs on five straight days. But I think Reinhard's ceiling is perfectly acceptable.

That's a good looking workout based on the Sun Salutation. Looks it might help my flexibility issues. I may give it a try occasionally instead of the Five Tibetan Rites which I've been doing. My attention span gets bored on the same routines. Thanks Jackn.
