P90X2.06 Yoga
well, that’s the end of week 1. this yoga is sweatier than the first p90x: less variety of moves, more repetition, no balance (so much balance throughout the new version anyway; they probably deemed it unnecessary), shortened ab work. shoulder stands were really, really weak this time around.
onto a new year. cheers mate, on the road to forty.

this one, this one was complete murder. the balance component was so overwhelming that many of these exercises were sloppy if not incomplete. it’s hard to feel as if you accomplished anything, even if you’re a sweaty mess whose heart is about to burst, when your muscles don’t feel exhausted. it appears as if the purpose of this phase really is foundational: getting you ready to focus not just on explosive power, but stability as well.

very very difficult, paused a few times. not quite sure the appropriate weight range yet in relation to the balance part. for example, on the single arm chest press on stability ball, 52.5lbs is almost too light (15 reps) but Balance Kickback on Stability Ball is a gut wrencher at 35lbs (not necessarily for the TRICEP itself).
it feels as if this phase is trying to bring into alignment balance & strength through exercises engaging the core as well as typical muscle isolation (i.e. preacher curls while in warrior 3).
