P90X, Day 35 — Yoga X

Today was the Yoga X work­out since I moved up X Stretch due to some fatigue I was feeling.

Yes­ter­day I played a round of golf and walked the 18 holes. When I woke up today my legs were feel­ing a bit stiff and sore. Yoga X was a lit­tle rough going at first, but as expected the posi­tions and stretch­ing helped greatly. My legs felt great after I finished.

I know the gains I’ve made over the past 5 weeks can be be attrib­uted in part to the work­out I’ve got­ten with Yoga X. The stretch­ing has kept me fresh and has helped with fatigue. I know I was feel­ing beat last week, but with X Stretch I was able to get a work­out in as well as work on the stiff­ness and sore­ness. Just a few years ago I wouldn’t have ever thought Yoga would be a seri­ous part of my work­out rou­tine. Now, I find it cru­cial part and can’t stop talk­ing about the ben­e­fits of it. I guess I can thank Tony Hor­ton and P90X for that.

I am by no means per­fect with Yoga X. It’s hard. Some of the posi­tions really push the lim­its of my flex­i­bil­ity. This is just one of those work­outs that I’ll con­tinue to make small gains with over a very long period of time. I know that even when I hit day 90 of this time through P90X, I won’t have this work­out per­fected. But we’ll see when we get there.
