Ooooh, good morning.

7:00AM? NO PROBLEM....

Seriously, I have never slept as well or felt as calm, rested and AWAKE in the morning as I have when I complete the Yoga X exercises just before I go to bed the night before. The combination of concentration and relaxation makes for an interesting combination that has a near drug-like quality in it's ability to make you feel drowsy, as evidenced by me falling asleep in the "Corpse Pose" "Fetus Pose and "Child's Pose" segments of last night's workout.

I've noticed my flexibility has gone up significantly since last time and I was able to grab my heels on both single-leg hamstring stretches as well as the double-leg hamstring stretch. It's cool to feel the tendons and muscles in your body tighten up as you reach toward your toes, but then sloooooowly melt away into a nice, gooey, warm buzz as you duck your head and lace your fingers around your feet.

For those worried about not being able to fit this one into their schedule, I recommend leaving it to the last minute on Thursday night and do it once you've brushed your teeth and have turned off all the downstairs lights. Knowing that you can hop into bed (After maybe a quick shower) right after this video makes it easier to finish, especially if the novelty wears off.






P.S.I took some progress pics this morning but I'm still going to wait a while before posting any "Before" or "During" shots. I'm JUST getting comfortable with the idea of putting my thoughts down onto a blog, nevermind putting pictures of my half naked body, so you're all going have to wait until I've put my insecurity behind me and only THEN will you see anything resembling a progress pic.






P.P.S. Big fan of the two girls in the Yoga video.
