Sometimes it just takes two

Two what you might ask, well let me tell you....two (well really three) workouts in one day to feel better. Yes I said it, with only three days until the end of this round of P90X I did three workouts. They were not all killer workouts by any stretch (pun) but three total none the less. I woke up a little early today so that I could get my scheduled workouts in, today was X Stretch and Abs. When I got out of bed I was still stiff as a board and knew I needed the DVD I was about to put into the player. It starts with some forward bends and sun salutations, let me tell you the first few were ugly, I could not get my hands any closer than about 8 inches from the floor and everything was moving like an engine with sand in the gas. By the end of the DVD I was feeling better but still didn't feel like I was totally recovered from the workouts over the last few days. Next up was abs and I went with Yoga Abs rather than Ab Ripper X, really I went this route because I wanted to really feel the burn in my abs since it was the last ab workout I would be doing on this program as well. I focused on keeping my shoulders off the mat as much as I could so I had my abs contracted for pretty much the entire 15 minutes, I was feeling that workout for about 3 hours once it was over, if you have been reading this blog than you know that is a total win in my mind.

Now to address the three, Like I said above, I never really felt like I had totally limbered up from stretching, although I got better by the end of the DVD the soreness was still there an I still had tightness in my legs so I decided a little Yoga should take care of that. I ended up putting in my fountain of youth yoga DVD in to help get the last little bit of soreness out and that is just what it did. I have been finished for about an hour now and still feel that mind set of relaxation and being limber so it was totally worth the 45 minutes of time, for anyone reading it is worth every penny of the $20 price tag. As a matter of fact I totally expect to purchase the other yoga DVD in the one-on-one series.

Tomorrow is the final legs and back, can't wait, for two reasons. First is it will be the last time I do that workout for about 3 months, and since it is the last back workout in the program it is my time to see just how many of each I can do before getting ready for the final fit test and measurements Monday night.
