P90X Downward Dog
I just completed day 32 of my P90X workout, Yoga X. Today was one of those days where I was extremely anxious to get through Yoga X. I kept thinking about all of the things I needed to do after the workout (even though Tony Horton specifically says not to do this). I also kept starring at the timer hoping it would go down faster. Sometimes it’s easier said then done to push everything aside and to focus solely on the workout. I did my usual routine of shutting the door to my home office, as well as turn off my cell phone, but that didn’t help today. I guess there will always be days like this at times, especially when there are a million things that need to get done!
Since I wasn’t all that focused on the moves, I honestly was just doing them just to get them done. I really didn’t push that hard to get good stretches or to improve my form. The more I think about, that more I get mad at myself for doing that since I’m only hurting myself by not doing my best. Some of the more simple poses were somewhat painful today from being sore in my biceps & back from P90X day 30. I guess the one good thing today was that I felt like I was able to hold the Crane for a few more milliseconds! :-)
I will have to make sure to “bring it” next time with Yoga X. Maybe I should try doing Yoga X first thing in the morning or even right before I go to bed next week?
