This is another one of those “better late than never” days. More specifically, I completed 40 minutes of the 66-minute workout. I got through the beginning section, including all the moving Asanas. My shoulders are still bothering me at times. The good news is that when I actually listened to what Tony Horton was saying about moving forward to change my arm position during the Leg Raises (in Downward Dog position), I made contact between my elbow and knee, or pretty close.
If I had to choose a section to skip, and you’ve read my yoga adventures before, you will be able to guess that I skipped the Warrior 3 sequence today. I also dropped the Crane, abdominal exercises, and Plough to Shoulder Stand. Since I did Ab Ripper just a few hours ago (right before bedtime), I call it a reasonable compromise when it comes to the abs, at least.
I did the stretching section at the end. To me, doing all the hard work without the stretches is almost a waste of time. I can do push ups and other moves similar to the yoga positions, but the “flow” as Tony calls it and the relaxation through stretching are what makes yoga unique.
How do you modify a P90X or P90X2 yoga session when you’re running late? Or is it just me who has these problems?
