Yoga X last night and it was a material difference from last week. Last week, I was still recovering from Agility X...and while it definitely felt great to stretch stuff out, much of the balance and pushup parts of the routine were really poor. This week, I did every exercise completely with the exception of Crow (which I fear I will never be able to do!!). On Crow, I literally get on the hands and tip to my forehead.
It felt great to be able to do everything. Very satisfying. Also, my flexibility was twice what it was last week. Some of it was due to a week of muscle use but I'm sure hydration and stretching during the week was important too.
The best part of this is THE HOP.
Do you know what that is? Let me explain.
When I did P90X the first time, after about 10-15 days, I found I had more bounce in my step. At the time, in the mornings, I took a train into Boston and the platform from my home city is elevated and up a bunch of stairs. I noticed, back then, that I started to leap up the stairs. When I got to them in the A.M. I would take them two at a time. I had a bunch of energy and it wasn't a chore anymore. I also noticed I would trot through parking lots. My body literally wanted to move quicker. It wanted to accept every physical challenge. And, every time my body wanted to move quicker, I just gave in to it. After a while, moving quicker in all phases of my life became a habit.
I noticed some months back, that it was gone. Well, it's back.
Have you noticed THE HOP?
