Starting the week in a good place
Today was the last day of my first week of this second round of P90X and it ended with Yoga X, by now you should know how I feel about Yoga and the days that I get to do it. Today was also the first day I did yoga on my new exercise mat that I got and put in the office Friday. The mat made all the moves that I have to lay down on the ground to do much more comfy but it seems to have affected my balance postures in yoga a little bit. The the mat and the carpet both having a little bit of give one over compensation when adjusting and I end up falling out of the pose. I think it only happened twice but I pride myself on having good yoga form and balance since starting yoga x and that just felt like a small step back. I guess I will just have to push a little harder to keep the form when I do it again. (Two weeks from today) Tomorrow is my rest day and then I get to start all over again. This time I will be mixing it up and doing Ab Ripper X rather than the Bob Harper Abs on Thursday and Saturday and will do the Bob Harper Yoga on Monday of next week, this way I am mixing it up a little bit and not letting it get stale. Yesterday I did my back and biceps workout and decided not to go on a run since I was totally spent by the end of the workout and I didn't want to miss any more time with the family. One thing I was pretty happy about was that I added weight to all the exercises and was in the 8 to 10 range on most of the moves with the rep count. I am even going to be adding some more resistance to some of the back moves since they did give me a good burn but not quite what I was looking for. The only thing that might happen tomorrow is I may do a quick one mile run right when I wake up to get the blood pumping and the metabolism up to start the day but other than that I totally plan on taking it easy and let the muscles rebuild before going after chest, shoulders, and triceps again on Wednesday. So far it seems that every one of my workouts are leaving me sore for 3 to 4 days so and yesterday's does not seem to be much different but at least the biceps are smaller :-( (not that I want them to be)
