5-17-17 HY: P90X3 - X3 Yoga + TCF.

After three hard workouts, I'm glad to have this mid-week recovery day.  It has been a few weeks since I did yoga and wanted to get back to it.  Plus, since Friday, my Back muscles have been feeling sore so this was a good chance for me to calm them down.

The routine went well.  I was able to do everything as prescribed.  The only difficulty I had was with the Half-Moon Pose.  I had balance issues on my right side but was pretty stable on my left. But the biggest surprise was right at the beginning.  I did this routine in the morning after a shake to start my day.  I'm usually pretty tight and when I do a forward bend, I can't touch my toes or the ground.  But today, right from the start, I was able to touch the ground and even put my fist on the ground.  So it seems like my getting looser.  I was happy about that.  Hamstrings are opening up and releasing faster.  There is still a large discrepancy between left and right, but I'm assuming that that will work itself out in time.  I had time for a good series of Flows, so I further centered with a series of Flows.

In the end, I burned a modest 249kcals, but I was feeling really good the whole day.  Happy Hump Day!
