Day 85

Yesterday was another amazing workout, my goal is to be able to master all the moves and poses in this Yoga X workout.  I am close to being there but I still need more work!  I absolutely love Yoga X and what this exercise does for me and my Diseases.  I feel amazing after each workout, but it did not start that way.  In the beginning, I was not sure if I was going to like this workout, because it was very hard to do.  As the days have passed and my body has gotten stronger this workout has gotten easier. 

My core strength has improved so much and it's mostly from Yoga and Stretching.  My body almost feels no pain throughout the day, and it's because I do Yoga.  I never in a thousand years would have thought that Yoga would do this for me.  Had I known this, I would have started this a long time ago, very happy that I challenged myself with this P90X Journey.

Given all that I have accomplished throughout this Journey, if I didn't have my routine, I would be at day one still.  This is no joke, my routine is what got me this far.  I have been asked so many times if I feel pain or if I have flare ups.  The answer is simple but hard for most to understand, I have not had a flare up ONE TIME during this whole journey.  The reason is the simple part, my routine is solid, so solid that I am starting over with my family when I finish the first journey. 

My Routine

• First when I wake up I apply the Two Old Goats to my Shoulders, Arms & Abs
• Next I stroll to the Fridge and drink a 2oz shot of Vemma
• Then I Stretch my Hamstrings with a forward bend, then a one legged bend on both sides, to a seated glute stretch on both legs, I usually go right into the Kenpo Quad Stretch or Pigeon
• I stretch my arms and Shoulders only if they need it with what I like to call a morning stretch, then  I stretch the arm across the body and then to a triceps stretch over the head.

I use these stretches almost everyday, usually after the X Stretch & the Yoga X workouts I do not stretch in the morning, because I don't need the Stretch to get going. 

I have to say that it's an amazing feeling to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go, a feeling that before this Journey began I did not know what that felt like.  Now, I get that all the time and it is completely amazing.  I am so pumped to start the last week of this Journey off with Yoga X.  Now I am getting ready for the last 6 workouts, so Bring It P90X!
