Wow, it's been so long since my last update, but really there's not much to update you on. This past week was yet another tough one, with having a new sump pump put in my basement. I had guys working downstairs, jackhammering, getting my workout room as dusty, etc that it was not super accommodating for my workouts. I've actually decided that I might tack on another 2 weeks after my 90 days are up to make up for lost workouts along the way. No matter how committed I am in my head...life goes on and sometimes squeezing my workout in is just not feasible.
Today was day 1 of my second rest week. I hadn't looked at my schedule before i left for work today, so i wasn't prepared for which workout was planned for my evening. I came home, and ran downstairs dreading it would say Core.....! Nope....! Yoga!!!! Yesssssss!! Which means I didn't have to do it until later in the evening. I like to do yoga closer to bedtime so that I'm relaxed, stretched, and completely mellow for perfect sleeping conditions. I roasted a chicken breast and some vegetables for supper, and had a chance to chill out before i put on my yoga clothes.
I've finally reached a point where I enjoy yoga. It started off as one of my worst workouts, mostly because i was not flexible at all, and it was the longest video at an hour and a half, but now it's one of the workouts I looked forward to. I see the difficult moves not only as a challenge but a challenge that I KNOW i can tackle. And only improve on. The moving Asanas are tough, but I find myself pushing harder, lifting my legs higher, keeping them straighter, tightening more muscles, and really trying to breathe through each pose. And of course, adding my push up on each Vinyasa.
How is the Crane pose coming? Well...I still can't hold it for the full 60 seconds, but I've definitely got the technique down, and can hold it for about 10 seconds at a time. I'd say a big improvement from the first day i attempted it!
And oh one more thing...
I rocked out 3 chin ups before Yoga to pump me up even more. YEAH man!
