Tim's P90X2 Journey

Day 5: Yoga-P90X2 Style

I’m not very good at Yoga. I think this is mostly due to my level of flexibility. I like to tell people I’m a ceramic tile with hair. Very brittle.

Having done P90X Yoga is a great introduction for what takes place in P90X2. In fact, if I haven’t said it yet - I highly recommend doing P90X before taking on P90X2. The moves and regimens are simpler (not necessarily easier) and lay the ground work for what takes place during this next version.

The Yoga workout moves much more quickly. It lasts just over an hour. Let’s just say I was never bored. I couldn’t complete each section, but I could do all of the moves (except the most extreme yoga balance postures).

As before, this workout brought out the sweat more than any other. Halfway through I had to lay down some towels. It got a little messy.

As with most of the workouts, this first week was a chance to familiarize myself with each of the moves and the flow of the workout. With Yoga, I’m looking forward to getting to the place where I can look at the screen less and pay closer attention to how my body and mind are responding and reacting throughout the session.
