I’ve never done yoga so I wasn’t really sure what to expect from today’s routine. I’ve always pictured someone sitting on a mat, legs crossed and chanting ooohhhhmmmmm, ooohhhmmmm. Wrong!
Three things were quickly apparent about Yoga X:
1) It was a workout! None of the other workouts had me sweating so much and so fast. I’ve broken a sweat in each workout, but this was crazy. I had to keep a towel by me for the first 45 minutes (the last half wasn’t that bad).
2) This DVD was 90 minutes (30 minutes longer than anything else so far) I’ll need to plan accordingly next time I do this DVD.
3) I’m not flexible AT ALL! With the other workouts I can totally see how I’ll eventually be able to keep up with the trainers, but I’m just not seeing it with this one. I’ll have to accept that I’m not very limber.
Overall, this is a great workout, even though if anyone were to watch me do it they would be crying with laughter at my ridiculous attempts at 98% of the poses. Yoga X was the perfect answer for the stiffness that I talked about yesterday. My arms are still pretty sore, but overall, I’m feeling a lot better.
I’m really enjoying P90X and find myself looking forward to my 5:30 AM alarm each morning; however, tomorrow is Legs and Back and I’m really not looking forward to the pull ups that almost certainly await me.
