I'm sure your all just dying to know how the yoga went - - I must say that it went better than last week but not by much. It took me double the time to get through the video because I was determined to do every move right and to really get the flow of the yoga workout. What helped me to get through the entire video was to watch Tony do it first and then rewind it and go through it again with him - I did have to pause a few times even after that. I still wasn't getting the flow down because there was so much stopping and starting but I feel like I have a much better handle on the yoga and I am looking forward to next time. I think that I could really and enjoy it once I get into the swing of things. It seems to me that if I do conquer this yoga I'm going to be more flexible than I've ever been in my entire life.
As for legs and back - it's still by far my favorite video hands down. And towards the end of the video when you do the exercises that consist of laying down is my favorite. However once I'm down there I don't feel like getting back up - it's like break time. I love the exercise (forget the name - I really should write down the ones I want to refer to) that that you have to put your arm on the opposite shoulder and do like a side-ways push-up - those of you who do the workout have to know what I'm talking about! It's really hard but I'm actually pretty good at it. I can do 15 without stopping and taking a break.
I finished up the this week with the X Stretch video - I'm actually pretty fond of this video as well. I was feeling pretty sore and I didn't think I was up for the Kenpo X this week. I thought the X Stretch would be a good note to end on - and plus it’s easy and I needed the confidence going into week 3. I found the X Stretch video and a nice warm bath were just what my body needed to rejuvenate itself and start out strong for next week. I’m feeling pretty good going into week 3.
As for week 3, I’m thinking it’s just going to be week 2 - seeing how I slacked off so much in week 2 - I need a redo - - I touched on this in my last post. Plus I did a lot of shopping over the weekend and bought pants 1 size smaller for some inspiration - it’s time to get serious!
Stay tuned!!
Watching the video before you try doing the exercises is a good strategy. Maybe I should try that next time I do a workout with an exercise video. Watching the video first might improve my coordination when I actually do the exercises, allowing me to look less foolish.
