Wed - Kundalini Yoga

[Guest guest]

Hi!

Today was yoga day - I'm going to figure out how to

get my missed arms and abs work from yesterday in

later this week. I decided to try a new one that I

rec'd in a trade - it is called Transformation through

Kundalini Yoga and is lead by April Bernardi (sp?) It

is fair - not the best one I tried (I lived the

Ravi/Ana that I did the other day much better!) April

has a little intro where she talks about how she found

Kundalini yoga through a DVD she purchased and she has

been doing it for 6 years (as of the date of the DVD

release anyway!) I'm not all that versed in Kundalini

but I did find it odd that this one started with a

very fast paced sun salutation series - I've never

done Sun Salutatations on any of the other Kundalini

workouts I have. I did like that she held Downward

Facing Dog for a good long time, but the rest of the

series seemed to move too fast for me. The rest was

more of what I'm used to seeing in Kundalini - lots of

active, quick, circular type movements synchronized to

your breath. It was good, just not the best I've ever

done. I do like the way Kundalini yoga loosens up my

back though- which is still so not right - so it is a

plus - that and I always feel very awake after I

finish.

It was a short workout, only 40 minutes, so it was

good to ease back into my first official

back-to-real-life day.

Tomorrow I have Core Synergistics on tap, plus I think

I'm doing Cardio X for some extra cardio - I figure

I'll skip the core stuff at the end and just do the

yoga warm-up, Kenpo and Plyo sections and then go

straight on to CS.

Friday, I'll do some sort of interval cardio and

Shoulders & Arms. Not sure if I'll have time to do

all of S & A, or if I'll have to do a " halfsie " . Either

way, I'll consider my P90X week done at that point!

I may have to tweak my P90X rotation a bit, as DH

invited two of his friends down for a long weekend

over Luther King Day so, depending on how long

they stay I'll likely miss one or two workouts - but I

think I'll just pick up where I left off and call it

good if I finish up the " X " by the end of January.

Then, in Feb I have no idea what to do. I was

thinking of T-Tapp, but then Kathy mentioned

Turbulence Training to me - here is a link to the

website

http://www.turbulencetraining.com/?hop=adviser1

I have to admit, I'm intrigued by this approach - it

really makes sense and fits in with what Tony Horton

has taught me through the " X " workouts, PHH, etc. I'm

trying to talk DH into it, as I know he is frustrated

with his lack of progress. He has been using the

treadmill - doing slow/steady state cardio but has not

seen much in the way of results. I'm not sure that he

is up for interval work since he hasn't worked out

very much - but the Turbulence Training does have a

beginner program that I'm sure he could follow.

Anyway, if I can convince him, I might give it a go.

I think I would miss the entertainment factor of my

DVDs, though - as these workouts are all through a

book. But, I am intrigued and would like to give

something different a try.

(thanks Kathy for the enablement! LOL!)

Take care!

Donna

Donna, there is an arms and abs practice I believe in the advanced section of

YCFE!

Now I want Ana Brett/Ravi Singh more than ever!
