P90X – Day 18 – Yoga X

Needs Improvement

I came out of my last round of Yoga feeling great about the routine. I had finally finished the entire workout, albeit heavily modified, but I made it through. As I was waking up this morning I was really looking forward to bending and flexing. After holding a Half Moon for about .125 seconds, I realized how much more work I need in order to become efficient at Yoga X.  Looking back at last week I would not say I was arrogant about my skill at Yoga, maybe riding an endorphin rush. However, I really felt good about the routine. Coming out of today, I realize how much work my balance, core, and flexibility needs.

I do see improvement with how far I can reach during the stretches, however it is no where near what the pros are doing. One new item that has been added to my equipment wish list is a Yoga block. One of my Perfect Push ups is not cutting it….

Moving through the P90X program, I am proud of my progress. I have been pushing myself hard and pretty diligent about my diet. Hopefully Friday’s X Stretch will help me with some of my flexibility issues.
