Morning Part-Time Yogi's -
This morning was a semi-rest day. I did 50 minutes of Rebecca Small's Step, Symmetrical Step & Step Revolution segments followed by Yoga For Athletes with Kim Fowler (55") and then Jill Miller's Shoulder Shakti.
At the end of the cardio, I burned 325 calories.
Never did Step Revolution before and it seemed like she was throwing the combos out there fast and furious. Fun coreography, of course, but my goodness. I'll be working on this for the next several Saturdays!
Yoga for Athletes was really good. This was with Kim Fowler. Someone posted about this on VF stating they'd seen it. It was advertised saying "No Sanskrit, No Granola, No Chanting"...and I think it was priced kind of high....so I didn't get it for a long time, as I was a bit "put off" by that statement cuz I actually like learning the sanskrit names, although it is a work in progress. I turned out to be really good. Good pose selection...got into the muscles good (stretching) and was not particularly difficult...but challenging enough to feel good. The instructor was okay (a bit on the thin, athletic side for a yoga instructor - hence the title) and the class participants reminded me of P90X yoga students. As a matter of fact, this DVD was sort of reminiscent of P90X Yoga X. It had modern MTVish type of music playing softly in the background. So - I highly recommend this....as long as you don't mind them not using the sanskrit names and not having traditional yoga music. Felt wonderful after finishing it. She does good finishing poses too, including pigeon, plough, shoulder stand, etc.
Have great workouts everyone. Off to do my normal Saturday routine. I'm expecting my BPAL order today! I hope it arrives as scheduled.
