Today was Yoga X.  This is the longest workout in the P90X program.  The first 30 minutes are the real tough parts, mostly with vinyasas and warrior poses.  For some reason I can’t do the moon poses for very long, my hips start cramping up really bad and it hurts.  After the first 30 minutes of that though, it’s just balance postures (which I think are fun, though I cannot do Crane at all even a little bit), and then a bunch of stretches…until you get to what Tony calls the “Yoga Belly 7,” which are 7 poses/moves that burn your abs, and a few of them are in the Ab Ripper Video.  I think it was kind of dumb to do the really heavy hard stuff first, and then make you think you are done and just going with stretches/balance/flexiblity for the rest and then spring the horrible abs moves on you at the last minute…I was almost too relaxed and burnt out to even try them.

It ends with some more stretching/balance poses (I can’t do Shoulder Stand at all either), and then some resting and breathing.  At the end Tony does some om’s, and the audio from that part totally freaks my cats out and makes them hide under the couch, so that is an added bonus of this routine

Today I woke up at 8, started at 9 (late start!), was done by 1030, and ready for work at 11.
