Week 3 Day 4 Yoga X

It is now day 4 of week 3 this means it is time for Yoga X. I would like to reiterate for those who may have missed my earlier blogs that yoga X is no joke. Even though it is not as bad as when I first began this program back in week one, Yoga x still proves to be challenging. I have been able to improve over the past couple weeks becoming more flexible, balanced, etc. but I am still unsure of whether I will ever be able to do some of the moves that Tony and the rest of the people performed in the video. Currently, I still struggle with moves such as the one arm side stand, I was having trouble holding it for a full count but today I was able to bring it and endure through the pain. Furthermore, though I have had some improvement with things like the warrior 3 pose, I still experience a lot of difficulty. Warrior 3 is pretty much forming a T-shape with your body, balancing yourself on one leg while extending the other leg laterally so it is even with your torso. The most difficult move illustrated on the DVD that I have been unable to perform is called the crane. With this move you have to balance your body on your hands. I will still work and work until I achieve success with this move.

It is still hard for me to believe that a workout that does not incorporate a lot of fast paced intense movement could cause me to sweat as much as Yoga X. As with any other time that I did Yoga X, I finished completely drenched in sweat. I look forward to the sweat though; it really lets me know that I am doing work.
