Growing up, I always wanted to take gymnastics.
We couldn’t afford it.
When I was older, one thing that I really wanted to learn how to do was a back handspring.
I am now taking adult classes and learning just that.
What is one thing that you wish you could do now or really wish you could have done when you were younger?
you are driving to gymnastics before 8pm
and you’re practically almost falling asleep on the road.
you make it to the parking lot where you reach REM sleep.
in the span of 25 minutes.
twice.
thank God you set your alarm for 828pm
because that is the only reason you wake up for the 830pm gymnastics class.
this is when you know that a good night’s rest trumps working on your fitness.
thus no p90x tonight.
thigh shrinkage will have to hold until tomorrow.
because having humongoid thighs is slightly better than death.
A little late with my entry, but I know you will forgive. Yesterday (well, really two days ago as it is past midnight on Friday and I am referring to Wednesday) was day three of the regime and I was hardcore! After work I hot yogaed it out, followed by some back handsprings and back tucks at gymnastics, followed by shoulder, arms and abs, P90x style. I did not finish until after 1am. I told you… hardcore.
I wish I could see more results faster, but that’s just me. I am impatient when it comes to two things: technology (I HATE SLOW COMPUTERS) and workout results. But I will survive… and maybe even longer since I am working on my fitness.
Today (Thursday) was day four and please forgive me, but all I did was hot yoga and volleyball. I decided to skip the P90x routine because it’s…. yoga. Really, do I need 3 hours of yoga in one day? I don’t think so. Plus, I’m dead tired. So I think Bikram was enough and a good substitute. Right? Anyone?
I don’t think anybody reads this blog, but I will continue to write in the chance that somebody does. And if you do, and you want to join my workout kick, let me know.
Oh and Glee is fabulous!
Day two is complete and it feels good, thus far. I am really making this happen and it is apparently by the fact that I finished working out at about midnight 30. Yep, I worked a full day, then went to acting class, which ends at 10pm and then headed home and worked out. I sacrificed sleep!
So day two was the cardio component. I was not able to do yoga due to my schedule, but that’s ok. The X will simply do.
What they say about yoga is true though. Bikram’s Yoga has benefitted me all around and it is apparent when I do P90x. I did it pre-yoga and, you know… sometimes I would stop to, you know… breathe. Sometimes I would have to take a break from the continuous torture movement. However, post yoga, I have found myself stronger, more efficient and I can go for longer. This P90x thing is easier for me now. And that’s after inconsistent yoga practice and after a complete two week hiatus. Can you imagine my body on consistency? We’ll see what happens.
Day two. So far so good. Day three of P90x is tonight. After yoga. And after gymnastics. Wish me blessings. And oxygen.
