Day 40 seems so significant, and yet, it’s just another step along the P90X2 “journey,” as Tony Horton calls it. For me, it’s noteworthy that I have not skipped a single yoga session along the way.
I kept up the pace during the Single/Double/Triple sequence. My shoulders were getting sore, though, so I took a rest in Child’s Pose after the last Double.
The Warrior 3 sequence is still difficult for me (read: I had trouble doing it at all). I stumbled a lot. I tried using a small hand weight as a yoga block, but the extra height didn’t help much. I guess I need to work on my leg strength and balance.
When it came time to do the Crane, I seem to have improved on my previous attempts. I was leaning pretty far forward onto my triceps, with my fingertips on the floor. Not very graceful, but better.
I gave it my best shot on the Plough to Shoulder Stand, too. I stayed on my shoulders, off my neck, and controlled my legs up and down. I tumbled toward the end.
On to day 41, and beyond!
