Yeah, I did it again. Just to do it. Added a little to the workout. Felt really good to do a little extra. And it is really, just a little. About a fifteen minute workout with a 12 minute warm up, cool down. Also did the Cold Start before the Yoga. So close to 80 minutes for just under 500kcals burned.
I'm quite used to the X3 Yoga routine but one move still just kills me. I just can't do it at all. Move 21. Extended Leg with Toe Bind. When I grab my toe, my leg just can't extend. It's like at a 90 degree angle and I can't keep my balance. That is just the worst move for me at this point.
My most improved move is move 10. Bound Side Angle Pose. The wrap was
actually easier than usual to make and my chest was more open than it
has ever been before with that move spanning back to X2 Yoga which is
the first time I ever tried that wrap move.
Quick question about Child's Pose. Am I supposed to stretch out as far as I can with my arms straight, elbows in the air with hands on the ground, or can\should I put my elbows on the ground?
Breathing was noticeably easier during the twist moves, such as Twisted Moon, and Twisted Triangle. Usually, when I take a deep breath, my form collapses but today, I was able to hold the poses.
Fish is a really tough move for me still. I keep thinking that my arms are shorter than the average person because leaning back that far is not humanly possible. Hehe. No, actually my back is naturally overly arched so for some reason hyper extending my lower back's arch is really difficult especially since two of my lumbar discs have been deflated to almost nothing. It is just painful to arch back farther than the natural arch.
I'm very happy to be seeing progress with my Yoga and flexibility.
Mark Lauren's Novice: Ladder is a nice little workout that builds the number of reps of two moves twice up and down the ladder 1 rep to 4 reps, twice. And that cycle is done twice with two sets of two different moves each. It was the first time for me to do this workout. Nice with the static holds. Not really a cardio workout. Added an extra 175+/- kcal burn to today. Gave me some back strengthening moves which I always need.
