Hi girls!
Well, today is my official P90X grad day. Yep, I finished it! I had to substitute a different yoga workout for the last workout which was YogaX. I can't do very much of that one because its too damn long and not enough modifications are shown and holding the poses too long.
Here's today's workout:
P90X YogaX substituted Bryan Kest's Power Yoga- Energize= 52 Minutes
Calories burned= 142
This was a hard one for me as are most yoga workouts these days. Its been 4 yrs since I was diagnosed with relapsing remitting form of MS. MS, has effected my balance, vision,strength, and flexibility. I was suddenly legally blind in my right eye for about six months then it got better because of Optic Neuritis that's often seen in MS patients. The balance,strength, and flexibility are things I'm still fighting hard to improve. I know I won't ever get it back completely so that's why I workout so hard, striving to improve. I used to do this yoga workout before MS and had no trouble with flexibility and balance poses, now I fall often and struggle even in a modified poses. I do the best I can for my circumstances but still it does get to me some days, and this workout today did that to me. It was a good yoga practice but just brought back memories when I could do more and move better. I guess MS is a disease that can take away or greatly diminish one's ability to move. So, ladies move it and have fun doing whatever workout you do. Remember just being able to attempt it is a huge thing, so give yourselves a big pat on the back for your efforts and hard workouts.
I'm supposed to take a week off before I start another rotation. I don't think I can just not workout at all for a week, we'll see. I'll still check in and see how you guys are and read your posts.
Seeya at monday's check in
I hope that those of us that are ill will feel better ASAP, and those that are working out to keep up the great job!
Hugs!
