Insanity: Day 13, part 2; 21-Day Challenge: Day 4

I know that I've been taking things at my own speed and I've missed some days.  One really good thing about a lifestyle change is that you just pick yourself right back up when you miss a day (or three).  I started out my workout doing Mariel Heminway's YOGA NOW 10 minute AM energizer.  It's a good warm up for ANY workout.  Then I went on to Day 4.  That was a lot of standing exercises.  I needed a block and strap.  I know, sounds kinky; but they help you stretch yourself farther than you can on your own.  The thing that really kicked my butt was the Insanity Cardio Abs.  OMG!  I just have to keep remembering that I'll have some bad a$$ abs when I'm done with this routine.

Day 1 of the Yoga Journal 21 Day Challenge

Okay, I know I was supposed to start that challenge on Monday, but I started it today.  In the past, I would have told myself to wait until next Monday then start.  The only problem is... I don't always start on that next Monday.  Then the next thing you know, I've lost doing a daily practice before I've begun.  There's no reason Day 1 can't be Friday.

I just finished the vinyasa for Day 1.  OMG, if that's supposed to be the beginner... WOW!  Take a look at it...



I surprised myself.  I feel pretty good now.  Energized, but relaxed.
