HYBRID DAY 4 - YOGA X

It was Yoga X for the CROTUSman and I have to admit, I was kind of looking forward to it. That’s a far cry from the first round of X when I really dreaded Yoga X for the first month or so. Eventually, though I came around and really ended up enjoying it.

I hadn’t done any Yoga for about two months, so I was skeptical about where I would be. Much to my surprise though, I managed to make my way through this workout fairly well, and overall, it was a nice re-introduction to Yoga. Going in, I was a little worried that the chest soreness I’d been experiencing was going to hinder me with the push-ups and vinyasas, but it really didn’t end up being much of an issue, and y the time the first 45 minutes were through I had a nice sweat going.

Still, it’s clear that there is room for improvement in a number of areas. That whole, put your hand through your leg and clasp it behind your back routine, where Tony says, “now this may be uncomfortable for some people” was…quite uncomfortable for the CROTUSman. I also had some trouble with Warrior 3, which is not unusual, but there were days towards the end of Round 1 where I did a passable job, so I’d like to improve on that or at least get back to where I was. Lastly, the Plough to Shoulder Stand has always been tough, and I’d like to finally get over the hump with that.

Other than that, it was a pretty nice return to Yoga this morning, and I think it helped to alleviate some of the residual soreness I’ve been dealing with.

That’s it for the CROTUSman. I’ll be back tomorrow with Legs & Back. Until then, TCB.
