Yoga day! I decided to mix it up today. Mainly because I didn't want to do 90+ mins of yoga, but I wanted to stick with yoga. One of the other Beachbody products is a One on One series with Tony Horton. It's basically him working out in his personal gym with a camera guy. He makes these every month and you can get them shipped as they're made, or buy them individually. We signed up for this recently and November's workout was yoga... so I decided to do the One on One yoga.
This was a great yoga workout. 63 minutes long... but really hard. Had some new crazy moves and some that I haven't done since I took a yoga class when we used to belong to a gym. It was basically all variations on sun salutations and triangles. My arms were really sore from yesterday's workout, so I wasn't able to do the chaturanga every time, but I did what I could.
My favorite new move was going into plank, lifting a leg, and then doing chaturanga with the one leg up. Oddly I could actually do this. I was also able to do side plank with an elevated leg. There were also some interesting lift-a-leg-here and put-a-knee-there versions of downward dog.
All in all the workout made me feel pretty good about myself. But there were certain balance issues that I'd like to improve on. Will certainly use this again when I want a good yoga workout without spending 90 minutes to do so.
