I'm 27. I've spent my entire life exercising without much break or thought. I got my a minor in dance and have taught yoga. After a bout with severe anxiety, however, I'm in a place where I've never been - out of shape, unmotivated or at least doubtful of all I thought I knew about the body. I want to get back to a place where I can walk my dog everyday, do yoga, ride my bike around town and dance regularly. This is a crazy mix of aerobic and anaerobic.

I know nothing about crosstraining (how to be fit both aerobically and anaerobically?), am fearful a bit of overdoing (since I learned the hard way to rest and relax) so I don't know what means I should rest and what means I should push on, I'm not sure how to best give my body a break except by taking a bath, I don't know how to mix full-body workouts (like walking, running or ski machines in particular) with focused area of work (like yoga for abs or upper body). My training tells me how to breathe properly, execute movements and have good alignment.... but that's not enough for this kind of combo training!

I was walking my dog every morning for awhile which was nice and subtle, but I live in freezing climates where it's not good for either one of us to do much outside (so we play indoors and I let him run around on his own on our acerage), I've now switched to a skimachine every other day (10 minutes on right now with 10-15 prior and after for warmup and cooldown) and continue to do yoga every day but intensity every other. But this machine makes me tired and sore - so I feel like it's too much too soon, but also feel that may be normal.

Could someone quide me somewhere please? I don't know any personal trainers, and am fearful to ask just anyone because I want to ensure it's quality, natural, and safe.

Thanks - it's kind of exciting! It will also help me in teaching my movement and yoga classes! I'm learning anatomy right now (all I missed from getting my BA in dance) and its all juicy, but such more complicated than I initially thought!
