Five Weeks Down!

Workout: Yoga

So irritated during my workout tonight. I did PiYo 8, off of one of the Fan V0lumes. Now, the fan volumes are the workouts created for the instructors to use in memorizing the choreography for their PiYo classes. I was warned that they would be advanced. I am cool with that- I can modify and I am mature enough to do so and not try to compete with people. What I wasn't cool with was how things weren't really cued- there was a voice over that mentioned things, but wasn't really cueing very closely.

So breathing isn't stressed- they just say, "be sure you are breathing". No inhale here, exhale here. And then when you are upside down, bending over or facing the opposite way from the screen (which happens occasionally in yoga) sometimes the cueing just goes away, or talks about things that are not the move you are doing right now. the form you need to have or what your breath should be doing.

This is the type of DVD that you would have to have memorized before you could feel successful attempting the workout- not really something for everyday exercisers, advanced or otherwise. I am just not sure how useful this whole thing is going to be.

By the time final relaxation came around I actually swore with excitement because I was just so tired of it. It reminded me a lot of the first Camp Turbo when someone taught a PiYo class. It was fast, loud, dark and I couldn't see the friggin' stage because I was upside down and there were tons of people everywhere who also had no clue what they were doing. Most people around me walked out well before it was over. You'd think then I would have been able to see the stage but it was still dark and I was still upside down.

ANYWAY...

By the end of my workout last night I had a headache and I was pissed. How's that for Final Relaxation?

Next week's schedule: (modified Advanced week 6)

Cardio Party 1
Total Body Blast
Kickin' Core
Turbo Sculpt + Ab Jam
Cardio Party 2

I just turn my brain off when I do Ab Jam now. I would love to get another Ab routine. Maybe one from Turbo Fire or Chalean Extreme. I am accepting donations.
