I was anxious about doing this workout. I guess it was the best one I could have considering the pain in my back/neck. I woke up feeling much better, but it was still a concern that I might not be able to do a full-fledged workout.
Luckily the Yoga seemed to be the exact thing that I needed. The only poses that I decided not to do were "Crane" and "Plough" because of potential falling on my shoulder in the former and undue pressure on my back/neck in the latter. Other than that I did well, but man does this workout kill my legs, especially during the "Half-Moon" pose which seems to last about three months while standing on one leg!
As I noticed in Ab-Ripper, there are a few gaffes in the routine. Tony tells everyone to stay in "Runner's Pose" but they are all still standing there with their legs up. He handles it like a pro, though, and quickly tells them to switch it up, as if he had planned it that way. (But really, he just didn't want to have to start over!)
The other thing I noticed is that the pose where you swing your leg from "Downward Dog" to touch your knee to your head and then back up and so on. On the right side, he has us do it three times before getting into "Runner's Pose" and the left he only does it twice! Imbalance, I say! I felt like an idiot the first couple fo times because I felt like I wasn't paying attention and I was just doing extra. Now I know I'm not seeing things! Hah!
Except I swear I just saw Tony throwing the diet soda out of my fridge? Oh, well.
Core Synergistics tomorrow. I can't say I am really looking forward to it, especially with my tender neck. Stay tuned!
