Day 4 – One on One Yoga

Back to work today. So, I wisely awoke early to workout. I thought 5 am would be good. I work at 7 and have generally gotten up at 6 on workdays. 5 am was not early enough. I made it to work on time, but was really pushing it and didn’t eat like I wanted. Turns out that waking up, feeding my daughter and/or pumping, and an hour workout take more than an hour. Who knew? Tomorrow I’ll try 4:30. Ugh, that sounds early.

I was thrilled to see that One on One Yoga replaced P90X Yoga. 60 minutes instead of 90. Plus, when I did it before I loved the One on One Yoga. Turns out that I’m not in the same shape I was before. The 90 minute yoga would’ve (obviously) taken longer, but overall it’s an easier and more balanced routine. The One on One Yoga is primarily sun salutations and triangles. Moves I love, but moves that take strength I don’t really have. Case in point: I can’t do vinyasa/chaturanga. This is when you move from plank through a push-up move into upward dog. Whenever I’ve taken a break from working out and then resumed this has been a struggle and I know I’m doing well when I can push through without my body touching down. Presumably repetition paired with the arm routines will help me get this move back. We’ll see how many weeks that takes.
