So I haven't been great at keeping you up-to-date on my workouts. That's partially because I missed several days, but also because the days I worked out I didn't feel like there was much new to report.
But today I have news (from yesterday's workout). I finally remembered to wear my BodyBugg for the Yoga X workout. My total calorie burn for the hour and a half workout was 215. Not bad for a no-impact workout.
The Yoga X workout really points out your weaknesses. I am flexible and stable, but not flexible and stable at the same time. The standing leg extension pose kills me. I can stand in tree all day ... I can touch my toes (actually, wrap my hands around the bottom of my feet) while sitting on the floor. But ask me to do both at the same time ... NOPE!
And then there are all the moves that I think I'm doing so well until I catch sight of myself ... like Royal Dancer (sort of looks like a an ice skater move) and Wheel. Both involve arching your back and bending as much as possible. Compared to the people on the video I might as well be in a straight body cast. Oh well, it feels good all the same, and that's what counts. And I can definitely feel that I pushed myself hard ... all my muscles are slightly sore and tight.
One final progress report. I kept wearing my BodyBugg all day yesterday and my per minute calorie burn is up to about 1.1 per minute while I'm just hanging around the house. If memory serves me correct, that's up .2 from around the time I started all this ... which mean I must be building some muscle mass. The good news is I don't feel "bulky" like I have when I've been working on weights with my trainer.
We're just over a week away from out next adventure ... so hopefuly my posts will be more "newsy" while we're gone.
Have a great day everybody!
