March 8, Time for some Yoga!

March 8, 2019, Friday - P90X2 - X2 Yoga.

My legs are a bit tender from yesterday's workout, so I was glad to have today as a yoga day.  No pressing matters on for today so I could go for the longer routine.  I haven't done this routine is quite a while, but at the start, everything seemed fine.  Then I got to the Standing section of the routine starting with the Warrior Three, Half Moon, Reverse Half Moon, Standing Splits, etc. That section was BRUTAL!!!  A clear difference in my sides became painfully clear.  My right side was terribly out of whack, I could barely hold Warrior Three, much less Standing Splits.  I kept falling out of the pose.  My left side was a little better, but still just terrible.  But my benchmark move, the Wrap. Again, I couldn't even touch my fingers on the right side, but I was able to make the adjustments and hook my fingers on the left side with no back cramping.  I was happy with my Crow pose because I was able to hold it for a lot longer than I though I could.  But I have definitely lost flexibility and Yoga power.  But I'm working to get that back.

In the end, I burned a surprising 519 kcals.  Burning more calories today with yoga than yesterday with Legs HIIT was a bit of a shock.  But I'll take it!
