I'm a liar. I didn't get a chance to post anything this week.
P90X2 is going fabulously though. I am really enjoying this phase and am definitely seeing results in my upper body. My diet has unfortunately been quite up and down so I'm so not seeing results in my abs... or at least the fluff around them is hiding it! I have absolutely no excuse other than my will power has sucked lately. So we'll leave it at that.
Next week is my last planned week in this phase but I may extend these resistance workouts into my "recovery week" to get in an extra week.
I've been working hard at my yoga though. There are a few poses that I'm totally frustrated by that I hope to nail in the next month or so. I'm flexible but there is still room for major improvement... especially in my back and splits.
Today's poses involve the Tripod Headstand or Mukta Hasta Sirsana. In the past few years I have become more and more comfortable in this pose. I vividly remember not being able to do this when I took yoga classes many years ago. So this 34 year old woman can do things now that my 20-something year old self couldn't! Ha!
Your basic Tripod Headstand...
Then adding a split (which I so need to work on extending!)...
Finally adding a little twist.
There's nothing like standing on your head at 6am... Namaste.
Look at those arms! Amazing! You are starting to look like the old you again, maybe better.

Look at those shoulders and arms... you are really beating this program up! I am on a break... Disney style and will be running (there is a 5k loop at the campsite that I am going to tackle every morning) and there is also a Million steps a day that I should be able to register at the parks. Then I am redoing Phase II of X2 for five weeks or so... will still have a better body for the summer and will still kick start my new physique... just gonna take me longer :P
ReplyDeleteMake it a great day and I will be back in a few weeks ;)
