Day 4: Yoga

Yoga day! I haven't done this one before, and I'm super excited. :)

The only thing...I don't have a yoga block or mat... we'll see if I need to get these after this.

Here goes!

My favorite: frog pose and bridge! Frog pose is how I used to do my homework...hehe LOVE IT.
My worst: balance poses....my knees can over extend, and they don't like to stay straight (my straight is going further back), and it doesn't feel very good. I need to find a good solution for that. Anybody have any ideas?

Besides all that, I think this yoga dvd is my favorite out of the dvd's I've done so far. I've done yoga ONCE before with my friend and the teacher nicknamed me gumby girl for being so darn flexible (my gymnastics background becomes quite handy for my flexibility). Being flexible is one of my most favorite things, and when I lose any flexibility I think it makes my life more stressful. This was a very nice, relaxing, NOT stressful, work out. Loved it.

PS Tony didn't bug me...until the VERY end. He starts yelling at people to do more...and it's not very YOGA.
PPS the only thing I would need the block for is further stretching, but not the rest. Maybe I can find a good sub for a block.
PPPS I need a yoga mat...

  1. Hey Jackie! I just saw this blog on your other one and have been thinking about doing p90x (even though i decided against it.. we dont' have space and our downstairs neighbors would freak out at us jumping up and down at crazy hours in the middle of the night since that's the only time we would have to do it... but ANYWAY... I read this post and thought I would help with the straight leg thing, since I'm a dancer... don't think about pulling your knee back, but rather think about all of the muscles in your leg pulling UP and your leg getting LONGER!
