Day Four - I'm Starting To Get It
Day Four. Waking up to "pour some sugar on me" is starting to get to me. I really like that song. But waking up to it is really making me not like it. Maybe I need to find a Miley Cyrus song..... No then I would just throw my phone at the wall; and that would not be good. So my legs are a little better but they still do not want to work. I had no idea what workout I had today. I open the book and crap it's Yoga X. I got through a half hour last time. Okay I barley made it through that. I guess that this time will be no different. For those of you who might not be familiar with (X) the yoga workout is an hour and a half. That's right 1.5 hours... 1.5 hours of stuff that my body is not built for. Not yet anyway?! So we begin standing and breathing. I like this. Tony is a nice man. Then Tony turns Evil. Yes; thats Evil with a capital E. We are going from one position to the next. back and forth back and forth.My arms a shaking. My legs are shaking. you could have used me to mix paint 5 min. into This workout. I fell so many times today i know know why they do this A. on a mat. and B. on a solid surface. Not carpet. i am going to have rug burn from when my body decided it didn't want to be in that position at that particular moment. Oh burn and shake burn and shake. I keep going. There were things I could not do. Not even close. Remember that mass below my chest and above my legs? Yeah, that won't let me do a lot of things. Then Tony says to do something I think no human can do. " In runners pose, put your left hand behind your back; and with your right hand reach underneath between your legs and grab your other hand." What?!!!??? Thats not possible. I look up at the screen and there are four people in this unnatural pose. I feel like I am a G.I. Joe action fIgure complete with soda can love handles. And I am watching four Gumby figures contorting themselves whichever whey they want. We then go to balance poses. Those are where I fall so much I spent more time standing back up and getting into position than I did in the pose its self. During one part that i absolutely could not do it(That pesky mass again.), I see the clock I have made it over an hour. I didn't quit. I keep going. All the way doing as much as i can screaming through the pain and trying to breath like they keep saying. Finally The cool down nice restful poses. Breathing easy. I loved and hated this workout. I even did the ohms. Wow I am tired but I feel great! I am starting to understand "Do your best, and forget the rest!" Namaste my friends.

I could do that unnatural pose, but Ken and I could only handle 30 minutes of this workout cuz it was so boring. Good Work! We ended up substituting pilates for his yoga workout.
