Day 84

Week 11, Day 4 X3 Yoga done. I may keep saying this, and I will keep saying it. I love yoga. I need to do it much more often than one time a week. After I finish my first round of 21 Day Fix, I think I am going to do a combination of of both P90X3 and 21 Day Fix with both workout programs, but I will also be doing yoga daily. I think the benefits of yoga are great but I want to get those benefits daily instead of weekly.

I can feel the increase in balance pose strength and having less difficulties when doing them. I think if I were doing yoga daily since the start, 74 days now, I would be doing so much better with flexibility and balance. I will have to add that. I wanted to be fair to the program and not add too much and fair to myself and my expectations and not derail myself or cause me to not want to workout and dread it. It is so easy to not do anything. Why would I want to give myself more reasons not to workout? I love the feeling after and that little thing in my head that builds up the dread and anxiety prior to a workout I am not a fan of is only that, IN MY HEAD. It is never as bad as you think it is and are always happy after you do it. The endorphins alone are worth the workout.

I had to do my burpees today. I guess I should have done them before yoga, but I didn't I did them after. It seems wrong to go from shavasana to burpees, but I did it. If you are unfamiliar to yoga, shavasana is also known as corpse pose. You just lay on your back arms out slightly and you keep you eyes closed and just breathe. Now all the poses in yoga have a name like corpse pose, child pose, upward dog or downward dog. They all have the names we call them, but they originate from ancient India so the names that you don't know or may be unfamiliar with so if you want to learn more about yoga the best place is to go is here: http://www.yogaweb.com/. That place has the best overall information and is a good place to start if you are curious. I would check it out if you feel like you might want to increase your overall health but don't feel like you want to do a "traditional" workout. It is worth the effort.

I only have some pushups left and a trip to walmart left for the day on the hit parade. Time to get in the hot tub and enjoy the beautiful weather we are finally starting to have. Yes, we do have some snow left on the ground, but today will be around 50 and tomorrow around 60 and next week in the 70's. How can you not enjoy spring. Have a beautiful day.
