OK, so I majorly under estimated a Yoga class workout. Day 4 of P90X was a Yoga Xtreme workout. I went into it thinking, OK, here we go, let’s do a bunch of stretching. Heck, I’ve done Yoga before, so no big deal right?
WRONG
It was a stretch alright. Wow, the first 25 minutes had us twisting, stretching, reaching in ways the body just shouldn’t have to. The hardest part of the Yoga to me was relaxing the resisting muscles during the stretch. It proved to be a much harder workout than I had imagined. Within 30 minutes, I was sweating profusely.
The P90X DVD was a perfect placement for the workout. It seemed like every muscle group that was previously worked out and still sore were the target of focus with the Yoga routines. The stretches really focused on the legs, back, core, and shoulders.
I’m sure the Yoga gets easier as you learn to relax your muscles during the routines. During some of the hamstring stretches, I really noticed that deep breathing helped relax and extend the stretch upon each exhale.
I had planned on riding an interval class after the Yoga but decided to wait until tonight. Day 5 is Legs and Back. Hopefully I can punish my legs and wear them down before I jump on the bike. It should make for an interesting 2 hours of leg work for sure.
Now off to the chiropractor. 🙂
