May 13, Week 1, P90X3, Day 3

X3 Yoga

 This workout came just in time. I was especially busy today. Didn't get home till after 8pm and 30 min. was perfect. I was able to get in some playtime with my kids before they had to go back and hit the books for midterms. Got a little bit of a workout there, too.

 X3 Yoga, What can I say about 30 minutes of yoga? The moves are great, I worked up a good sweat, but if I'm being totally honest, I felt that it was a bit rushed. On top of that, I don't know how to explain it, but it just seemed like something was missing. The atmosphere and feel are so different from X2 Yoga, which I LOVE! I mean, in X2 yoga, Tony really tried to set a calm atmosphere and tone to the workout, turning down the lights, the music, even the way he instructed. Everything was flowing just perfectly.

 Finally, calorie burn was very different. I burned around 400kcals with X2 Yoga, only 156 with X3 yoga. Yes, I know, it's not a cardio workout, but I like to measure my calorie burn with all my workouts.


 That being said, I really enjoyed it as a workout, but not necessarily as a Yoga session. I'm going to stick with the program though. It did show me how non-flexible I am on my right side, though. Need to bring it more!
