So today was the first time I have ever tried yoga. EVER. I was a little nervous at first because I am not known for my balance and grace, lol. The first moves had my sore muscles straining and stretching, then the more advanced moves pushed me pretty hard. There were times when my legs just gave out on me and I tumbled. It was challenging but definitely enjoyable. Then we went into the balance poses and my muscles were finally warmed up and not aching anymore. I was AMAZED to see the flexibility that I never knew I had! I was more flexible than Ryan who had some trouble touching his feet. I was even able to do a few seconds of the crane! I honestly did not think I was going to be able to do it, but with some focus, good breathing and a pillow (just incase!) I was able to do it!
I feel sooo much better after getting all my muscles stretched and pulled. I was walking around at work today like an old lady with fake hip earlier, and now I feel so limber and relaxed. Definitely an awesome part of P90X! I will be looking forward to yoga day from now on!
Here are some photos of Ryan and I doing crane pose, and one of me testing my flexibility after our workout. My dog and cat even decided to join me :) We are having lean ground turkey chili with kidney beans for diner tonight! Tomorrow is legs, back and *dun dun dun* ab ripper!
