P90X--End of Week 1
Hello ya'll.
There have been some changes.
1.) my eyesight has improved I no longer squint in class
2.) I can do all the warrior poses in Moksha Yoga. I took Moksha before 3x/week for a month and after that I still couldn't hold any warrior poses for any longer than 3 seconds and I had to modify all of them.
The pic on your left.... this was how I was doing my warrior poses, this is modified. Notice where her right hand is placed. Check photo down the page and notice where her right hand is placed. That's the more advanced version. Last night I did all the advanced warrior poses and held them comfortably. My thighs would always burn and give out. Also anytime I went up a flight of stairs my thighs would burn.
That's how weak my legs were. In fact in the P90X leg routine they make you do seated chair pose at the END. Moksha last night was a bit too easy, which never happens. I enjoyed it immensely, it gives me a chance to practice what I learned at downward dog.
In Ashtanga we learned how to do upward dog and downward dog properly. I never really knew. The major con with Moksha Yoga is the lack of adequate instruction on how to do the poses properly. Also very few instructors come by and adjust their students. That's why I go to downward dog. To get my adjustments and to learn everything the proper way. There IS always a right way to do poses.
I am also more flexible in 1 week, than one month of Moksha Yoga training.
Can't finish a plyometrics routine or a kenpo routine yet, but your not expected to, thats' the challenge.......to finish it. I can see my rectus abdominus and external obliques slightly through my mid section.
I have a salad everyday and I put on top of it the following:
1.) kelp powder
2.) nutritional yeast
3.) dulse flakes
4.) hemp seeds
When I run out of hemp powder I am going to buy Sun Warrior. The best vegan protein supplement on the market today.
Those are my gains. Biggest improvement......yoga. A lot of trigger points in my butt and back resolved themselves after the yoga and working out the antagonists.
