Yoga! Yoga!

Today was yoga again which means that I had to get up early again to get through the hour and thirty-three minutes it takes to finish the workout. Like the other three DVD's I have done a second time this week I did better this time with this DVD than I did the last time, I was able to hold the poses longer and reach a little bit further on most of the stretches. I am still having a little bit of an issue getting all the way through the last bit of the strength poses because you get to stand on one leg for a pretty long period of time. I got really close to staying on the one leg when standing on my right foot but didn't make it quite as long when standing on my left leg. Now that I am back at the office my legs are a little worn out from the workout but when I finished it this morning and got ready to shower and eat I was feeling good and like I finished something good. Tomorrow is the legs and back workout and this time I am actually going to add bands to the exercises so that I can get a little more resistance and a bit harder of a workout this time. I have that and Kempo on Saturday and I will have gotten through the first two weeks of the program and will be doing my last week of the mastery phase before I go into the recovery week. Don't get me wrong I don't have any illusions that recovery week is going to be easy, I mean it starts with Yoga X and builds from there. Both the P90X guide and everyone that I have talked to say don't be fooled by the name, it is a hard week and you will work just as hard as you do in the first three weeks. Once I am done with that then the workouts change. In case you can't tell I am looking forward to seeing what comes next and see if I can still get the same results. The one thing I am most excited about when I finish the first four weeks of the program is switching to the new nutrition plan where I get to eat more carbs than I am now.
