Feb. 1 Yoga Recovery and Stretch Day.

February 2, 2019, Friday - Upper Body Yoga + LIIFT4 Stretch and Roll Recovery + Ab Yoga + Shoulder Care Yoga + TCF.

Today I was freer so I could come home earlier than usual and do a nice little triplet of Yoga routines.  First, I did a 30 minute Upper Body Yoga routine with the girl that does the Shoulder Care routine.  It wasn't that hard, but I wanted to try a different Yogi to see how she directed a routine.  Not bad, but there are a lot of asumptions of knowing poses and cues so I had to stop and look up a lot to learn moves and cues.  Getting used to a new Yogi style will take a little time.  She directs a little differently than how she does the Shoulder Care routine so that was a bit tough to get.  I can take a lot more upper body stuff though.

Then I tried the LIIFT4 Roller routine.  Joel uses the roller they way Tony tells us not to use the roller.  But I was still able to find the knots that needed rolling out.  That was a painful journey.

The guy that did the abs/core routine had a better leading style, but I had to tap out several times because the short little 10-minute yoga ab routine was brutal.  Slow is Pain!  But I got a good burn right where I expected it.

I ended with the Shoulder Care and then I added some more foam rolling and did more back work and shoulder work with the Butterfly move trying to open up my shoulders even more.  I used to be able to touch my hands and elbows at the same time, but I can't anymore.  I want to get back to when I could and more.

The capper was the Flow series so the breathing calms.

In the end, I burned or toasted a modest 216 kcals.  Not all that unexpected for a low impact series of yoga and stretching.
