Day 46: Yoga (Groan!)

I could look forward to this workout if the initial phas was, say, twenty minutes shorter. My legs were burning by the time I got to Warriot Three Pose. When I staggered across the room, it was as if all the muscles had been removed from my legs.

I can't tell you how much relief I feel when I get to the last Visnasya (Spelling?), although I was able to hold the Pretzel pose for the entire allotted time.

I kicked butt again on the Standing poses (Tree, Royal dancer, Toe Lock/Leg extension and even Camel!)

I do enjoy the stretching and the meditation stuff at the end.

I always feel better having DONE the workout, but I wish I had more motivation to do it. I would think as I get better I would be more comfortable, but it's the opposite. I am getting better which is raising the bar and making it harder. Now I know why Adam is sweating like a madman during the whole routine!

I'm back down to 175.8. For a guy not watching the scale, that really made my day!

I still need more muscle.

Does anyone check their heart rate during Yoga? The beeping would probably drive me bonkers and be counterproductive. It would remind me of the Ellen Degeneres comedy routine where she talks about doing Yoga and meditating and wonders if she turned the stove off. No one is funnier at random streams of consciousness than Ellen. Am I off topic? A little, but I'm ready for Recovery Week after this weekend. I wonder if it would be worth it to get Dumbbells when I am 2/3 through the program? I'm worried about my muscle results. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks and Keep Bringing it!
