Day 4: Yoga X

This morning I woke up sore again (what's new?), especially in my legs (quads) and triceps were still a little tight. I was looking forward to Yoga simply because it is a lower intensity workout. By no means was this easy, it was still a workout. I made it through the fist 20 minutes following the forms Tony and pals were doing. That was about it though. The plank became the half-plank and the “push-down transition pose” disappeared all together and I went strait into upward facing dog or cobra depending on my core. I was pouring sweat here and trying very hard to keep form. I did ok, but there is defiantly room for improvement. During the balance portion, I did well, but had to use the entertainment center a couple of times for balance. I also found, during the core 7 that I have null core strength. No big surprise there, which is one of the reason I am doing P90X. I think my favorite pose of all was Happy Baby. This one actually made me laugh while I was doing it. I enjoyed the stretches as well. I would like to become more flexible too, and am going to do the stretching on my rest days definitely to help with that.

Feeling about today:
This was a tough workout out at the beginning, then a long decrease in intensity to the end. I wish that I had brought it more than I did and will definitely put more effort into Yoga X the next time I do it. This one might even be a good one for Sara to try. Some of the poses were familiar due to Wii Fit, but explained in much more detail, which was nice. Good mid week break. Looking forward to it tomorrow.

Tony Quote of the Day:
I can do the things I can do at 45 not because of how may pushups I can do, it is because I do yoga.
