Much better state of mind now.

Ok well I got home a little late last night I had a few students hang out pretty late to get a much work as they could done before I cut off taking assignments so I didn't get as much sleep as I would have liked. I finally got eight hours of sleep, the problem is it took two days to do it. This morning was Yoga X and remembering how my last yoga x worked pretty hard to keep my head clear and in the state of mind I want to be in for yoga. After two nights ago when I couldn't sleep because of how fast my mind was running it was very important to me to stay in the moment today. I spend the first part of the DVD doing what I always do and just listened to the queues as I went from pose to pose. I find this helps me in a few ways, it keeps me focused on the pose, helps me concentrate on my breathing, and keeps me in the moment. If I have to make sure I am listening to each of the moves I remain for focused rather than when I watch the screen for the changes. When I do that I find myself watching the timer for each of the poses and it just makes the DVD seem to take longer to finish. I had to take it easy on my right leg on some of the stretches, it seems that knot I had from Monday is still lingering a little bit. It is not as bad as it was but I still have some work to do in order to get it feeling 100% but I am almost there. Tonight I am going to be doing a little walking around at a place called Cheekwood checking out the tree house display they do every year so that should help loosen the hamstring as well as keep me sane. Spending time with family always helps me when I have had a rough week. Tomorrow I am saying hello to an old friend, that friends name? core syn, it is the one time in this cycle that I will be doing this workout so I am going to smash it and get the most out of it that I can. Then Saturday is the one Kenpo workout, followed by stretch and yoga and back to the last six weeks of resistance training. Time to bring it home.

Tip:
Fitness isn't just about getting giant muscles or getting really skinny, it is about strength, balance, flexibility and endurance. The last thing you want is to be skinny and can't lift a bag of cat food or so huge you have to walk around like a robot. This is why stretching and yoga are so important while building your body. It isn't for everyone but the results are more than worth the work
