No opening warm up/stretch or cool down/stretch. odd because it’s fairly fast paced. very rush job but still intense. the point here is to lower the weight, focus on form, increase rep count. still comes in at an hour, so pretty much your standard horton hellscape.

Balance Cycle, Week 5, YOGA

Budokon – Strength & Balance
easier than the first time, some things impossible: rolling from plow into warrior 3 or half moon. there’s a point for a good five maybe ten minutes or so, where you feel it, the out of breathness, that pleasure of the edge, that, right now, this moment, you are pushing your lungs, your heart, you’re taking yourself somewhere unfamiliar, you’re finding out who you are, who you can be.
