P90X2 Day 33: X2 Yoga

I didn’t want to do yoga today! I was tired due to lack of sleep several nights this week, and if you’ve read this blog at all, you know that I am not a yoga enthusiast. I behaved myself anyway, and made sure I had enough time to complete the entire workout.

The moving Asanas went well, except for the very end when I ran out of steam. I missed one repetition on one side of the last Single/Double/Triple. My shoulders stayed strong and the discomfort during Downward Dog was a lot less than previous weeks. Interesting.

I am still having a lot of trouble with the sequence of poses in the Warrior 3 position. My leg is shaky, and my balance isn’t so good. I used a small inflated ball as a substitute for a yoga block, which helped a little. “I presently struggle with” that part of the workout.

The abdominal routine went pretty well, actually. I think that as I do the Ab Ripper more consistently, combined with the P90X2 emphasis on core strength, I will see some nice improvements. I am still not the most flexible person when it comes to my hamstrings and hip flexors, but at least I can do the exercises without feeling exhausted.

I admit that I skipped one exercise this time: The Plough to Shoulder Stand. Yes, it saved me a couple of minutes, but it’s also tough on my neck, even when I am careful and use a pillow.

Tomorrow there’s another new workout for me: Base + Back.
