Day 7: X S-T-R-E-T-C-H (Not your mother's Stretch Routine!)

Am I really surprised?

Yeah, I know. Who am I kidding. If they were going to do an optional routine for the last day of the week, why the heck would they mail it in with a few mamby-pamby stretches and a pat on the back.

First surprise. It was an hour (1 hour!). How the hell was I going to stretch for an hour? It stretched every part of my body except for my face. (For that, I looked for the video I saw on Ellen the other day, but I couldn't find it. Yeah, I know I watch Ellen. She's hilarious and I work from home. Give me a break! Instead, I found this hilarious video so you can stretch your face: Tyra shows us how to do it!)

Thank goodness for the yoga mat. This did tire me out, but it also made everything on my body feel better. The only part of me that is still sore is my calves. To the point where I don't really want to walk. Seriously.

Anyway, I highly recommend doing the X Stretch. It is worth it. I was tempted to skip it because there was so much stretching during the week and especiallythe 90 minute Yoga X, but I am glas that I did it. I think it will make me recover much more quickly and it will help me with those other workouts as well as be beneficial to my overall muscle development.

Here's my last vid of the week: (Until I do a new routine, I will be doing less frequent video updates.)
