WiiFit.....you lied to me!!!!!
Today was Yoga X day and the people that I have been talking to about the program all told me that it was pretty hard.Some of the people I was talking with didn't strike me as the most in shape or limber people in the world so I just figured that they were remembering the first couple of times through the DVD when they were telling me their feelings. Not only that by my WiiFit has called me a "yoga master" on several occasions so I figured if nothing else I had a pretty good start to going into the yoga poses. I expected a little bit of a challenge but for the most part I went into it thinking that I should be OK. Just like the other DVD so far it was a lot harder than I expected and it showed me that I am not nearly as flexible as I thought that I was. Some of the moves were not all that bad and some of the moves were the same or similar to the moves found in WiiFit just a whole lot more intense. For those that may not have done P90X before it started out with moves I was familiar with and built off those into more strength training poses that had my legs burning more than once. When I finished I did feel a lot better and felt like I was totally ready for my day. Now that I am sitting down I am starting to feel a little tired but I bet this 16 oz coffee and the food I just ate will help that out here shortly. As part of all this I am following the fat shredder diet the program gives you which is a high protein low card phase to burn off body fat, you are supposed to stay on this phase for four weeks or so but the guide says it can be shorter if you don't have a lot of body fat. That may be the case with me, I was right around 15% when I started this and I am wanting to get to single digits but if I don't have enough body fat to give me energy then I will just have to move off the fat shredder sooner rather than later, no big deal. Tomorrow is legs and back and everyone I have talked have all said the same thing about it, it is hard and I will be sore. I have been dreading this workout since I started but if I can get through it I will be pleased with myself. After tomorrow I will be done with all of this week's strength training exercises and will be doing Kempo on Saturday. Sunday is a rest. stretch day and my boss runs on those days, I was thinking that I would do the same thing but as this week moved forward I am thinking that will not be the case, at least not this week but hey I might change my mind come Sunday. If I am stupid sore on Sunday I will most likely not run but do the X Stretch video to try and get loose so that I can start the process all over again on Monday. I will let everyone know how tomorrow goes.
