Morning,
I stayed up almost to midnight yesterday (okay, went to bed at 9:30pm, which for me is astonishing) so for once, I didn’t (gasp!) get up a 12:30am to do my P90x! Instead, it was almost the afternoon (3:45am) at which I arose and put on Yoga X.
Now, I will admit it here and I’ll admit it now – I hate this DVD with a passion. It’s superb, mind you, and I will do it every time as I can see how utterly beneficial it is for one’s body…but with my lack of flexibility, I hate hate hate it! I had to do major modifications on many of the moves….but then again, you know what? That’s life! I deal. I’m already seeing some improvements – this time I was able to straighten my legs completely while pointing them skywards. Last week at this time, I couldn’t do that!
That’s a major wowsa! for me. All my life I’ve been cognizant of my lousy legs (structure-wise) and how that’s the way it is, accept it. It’s really kinda cool that now at age 43, I’m getting better and better and better.
My favorite exercise in this DVD is the plough (on your back roll your legs backwards until they touch the floor in back of you) and also pointing them straight up (I’d love to learn how to do handstands this year, and this kind of balance training is great). My not-favorite is the pushup-to-downwards dog motion and honestly, I don’t know why. I guess it’s just difficult for me.
So! 10 days done! P90x, so far, has been delivering wonderfully. I’m very happy with it.
Enjoy,
Barbara
