OK only 20 minutes total -- two ten minute blocks separated by some yoga poses because I had a sideache (I get a sideache sometimes even when I walk these days -- it's clearly not from the uterus area, feels just like a plain ol' sideache). It felt GREAT!!! Except for the first maybe two minutes, which were sort of a shock to the system. But after that, I loooved it.
