5-24-17 HY: P90X2 - X2 Yoga + TCF.

I woke up a little earlier today so I decided to give X2 Yoga a try.  With my shoulder bugging me and my chest muscles sore, I was wondering how much of this one I'd be able to take.  Also, after yesterday's resistance workout of my chest and shoulders, those areas were regular sore on top of that.

The stretch was nice, and all the little flows, but the standing sequences were killer.  That one sequence with the Standing Splits, I could not handle, I had to come out of it and stand up and shake it out midway through the sequence on both sides.  It has been a while since I needed to do that, but at the same time, it has been a while since I've actually done this routine as well.  But compared to X3 Yoga, X2 Yoga really allows a person to settle into a pose and just sit.  I am still surprised that I was still able to do the Wrap on both sides, but just fingertips holding on.  My right Half-Moon was terrible.  Balance was terrible.  And when I was up, I had to look down.  Still can't keep my balance well enough to look up.  But on the left side, for some reason, I was/am able to keep my balance a lot better and look up.  I always do the extra Push-Up on all the Vinyasa's, but after all the push ups yesterday, with all the soreness, I was struggling to get all those Push-Ups in.  But all in all, it was a great session.  And I felt noticeably looser at the end, so I decided to do a series of Flows which really felt good as well.

In the end, I burned off a nice 453kcals.  Pretty much double the X3 Yoga burn.  I also felt double the pain as well.
