P90X: Day50 Week8 Recovery

Week 8: The end of Phase 2.

6 more weeks to go and I will be done with my P90X. Today since it's a recovery week exercise I did Yoga X. I love yoga. The flexibility training I get with yoga is just tremendous. I've always had tight hams and back. With yoga X I can just feel my muscles stretching while contracting to keep my balance. I love the astanga salutations (or whatever it's called...).. the down/upward dogs and the warrior poses. I can just feel it everywhere in my body saying *ow!*. But I keep at it. The BREATHING really helps. You extend/stretch during the exhalation part and that's when you feel your muscles relaxing some more and your body getting more limber. At this point in my program I'm still struggling with several exercises such as the triangle, warrior 3 and anything that requires me to reach the ground with my knees extended. I'm getting there.....

So far so good. I'm patient today and I will keep on keeping on..

Namaste!
