yogilates

[Guest guest]

hi !

well, i had to change my ripped rotation today. i was very

tired (only got 5 hours in bed and that was interrupted the whole

time it seemed) and sore (from doing r1000 on monday probably --

my neck, shoulders and traps hurt). so i didnt feel like doing

much but desperately wanted to stretch the upper body, at least.

i decided to swap wed and thurs in the schedule and do cardio,

abs & yoga today, then do r1000, bike/walk and stretch tomorrow.

for abs & yoga, i used lisa's idea of combining them and did

'yogilates:level 1'. this is around 40 minutes long and is led

by jonathan urla. i found it to be more yoga than pilates

(which was ok, and there were some good basic pilates moves

included) and it did relieve my neck/shoulder pain, i felt much

clearer in the head when i was done. it was silly, but i

couldnt decide if i should use a thin yoga mat, or use a padded

exercise mat for this workout... i ended up putting the yoga mat

on top of the padded mat and hey! that worked great. im going

to do that all of the time for yoga and pilates workouts now. i

didnt find this workout to be hard but more restorative, which

was a good thing today! jonathan cued everything really well

and i liked that alot. i thought this workout was well done and

i recommend it to beginners and intermediates. there is a

yogilates level 2 which i want to do later this week. thanks lisa!
