I had no idea what to expect on this one beyond what the name said. I'm thinking, "Just being still." And basically, that is what is was "SUPPOSED" to be. Standing in poses and holding them for 45 seconds. At the beginning, it was all stuff I had done before in X2 and X3 Yoga and other places. But the last 3 cycles. I could not hold the poses. I could not keep the balance. I just got worse as it went on.
From move 21. Bound Dog, Right Hand Left Ankle, I was falling over like a Jenga tower with a cross base. I was terrible. Then the next move, Inner Balance, the one where you just lift one foot and balance, easy enough, but we're supposed to close our eyes. Once my eyes were closed, I just totally lost all perception and I had to keep tapping down. I couldn't stay balanced for more than a couple seconds. Literally! Once my eyes were closed and I lifted my foot, two, maybe less before I felt myself tipping and I'd tap down. Shocking, but not so shocking.
Then the Bound Dog Leg Lift. Again, just TERRIBLE. I could not stay up. I just kept flopping over to one side or the other. Finally, Moon Dog. I'll not repeat that word, but it was not good. Couldn't stay up at all for more than a second or two at the most.
I'm not 100% sure what this is doing, but if my balance is THAT bad, I know something is wrong with me and I need to correct it. Tony said that this will show where my weaknesses are, and man, did it ever. My weaknesses came out and kicked me in the face! It it was a rude awakening.
But, I think I have learned enough to know that giving up is not an option and I will do my best to improve and strengthen those weaknesses.
I had to work today because my school was holding open campus and several people (parents of present student and prospective students and parents) came and observed the classes I was teaching. Some nice added incentive to want to come home and do a workout. What great refreshment!
I am planning to go and play tennis with my son in about 30 minutes.
I'm hoping this workout helps me move and see the ball better so I can show him who's boss. LOL!
Have a great week, and welcome to JUNE!
