The Return of Yoga X

I just finished up the flow portion of Yoga X. It felt so good! I've been meaning to do this all week! I had plans to do the workout on Thursday, but I was up late doing work on Wednesday night and I was exhausted in the morning. Then I was surprised by some Eric Clapton concert tickets, so I went to that on Thursday night. It was great! He sounds AMAZING!!! So yesterday I was studying all day because I have a final exam today, and I never got in yoga then either. FINALLY, this morning I decided I had to do it, and I decided to do half since I really don't have time for the full 90 minutes. It's definitely a busy week/weekend! I'm happy I did 50 minutes though... I feel nice and stretched out now. On Sunday I'll get in my long (14 mile run)!

Hope everyone's workouts are going well! Keep pushing play or bring it to whatever you're doing!

Week 3 is coming to a close...

It's been a busy couple of days (in a good way... visiting friends and family) but I managed to get in yoga and legs & back. I did yoga at 6 AM yesterday, and I have to say it did not go as well as usual. I just wasn't feeling it! I find that yoga is an easy workout to slack on and not do as well. If I'm tired for legs or arms, there's not much I can do to slack. You do a bicep curl or you don't, you know? For yoga though, I find it easier to only go partway, and I feel like I might've done that yesterday. I still sweat but it just didn't feel as intense! On the other hand, legs went really well today! I'm definitely strange because that is my favorite workout. I love it! I even liked those stupid 80 20 Siebers speed squats today.

Tomorrow is Kenpo again, and I have a 5 hour drive home. I'm trying to decide if I want to sleep in, get on the road early, and then workout at night or if I want to workout before I leave. We'll see!

Recovery week next week! I think I need it!

Yoga X - Day 4

Today was Yoga X, and I was definitely looking forward to it. I figure if anyone can put together an awesome yoga workout, Tony Horton can. A few years ago when I was living in Bethlehem, I went to a yoga class at Easton Yoga. I wasn't expecting much, and I was shocked when I left. I was dripping with sweat! Not only that, but my whole body was sore for days. Since then, I've been trying to find a yoga workout that can do that for me. I believe I've found it! I was sweating a lot, my muscles were burning, and I loved it! I will say that there were times I was cursing to myself, but overall, I think it's an awesome workout. I was a bit worn out afterwards, but I feel great now. I need to get some blocks because there are quite a few things I can't do yet, so I'll look at target for those soon. I think I got the closest I've ever gotten to some of those balance poses before too. The power of the mind, I guess... I'm going at this workout thinking I have try my hardest at everything, and it's working out!

Back to studying... yuck.
