21 Day Fix: Yoga Fix

I would like to start by telling you I've never been a big Yoga fan. I've tried a couple of DVDs (one of which was several years ago when Yoga Booty Ballet first came out --- yes, this in fact is a Beachbody workout, long before I really knew what Beachbody was). I guess I just never felt that it did anything for me.

Given my past experience, I was skeptical when I finally gave the Yoga Fix workout from the 21 Day Fix  a try this morning. But then again, maybe I just never gave Yoga a good chance. I'm so use to being on the go and feeling that I constantly need to be doing something, that I don't like to slow down much. I was seriously contemplating turning the DVD off and doing the Pilates Fix in it's place, merely because I just didn't feel like doing Yoga. But I knew I needed to give it a try. About halfway through, I was feeling a really good (and much needed) stretch in my muscles... especially in my legs. In the last few minutes, I found myself thinking, "wow... this is a really good way to just unwind and take a bit of a time out from all the hard work I've done this week". And I actually started to wish there was an abbreviated version of this Yoga Fix to perhaps use as a stretch after each workout.

I'm no Yoga expert so I can't really give you a ton of feedback about how it compares to other Yoga workouts I've done. I recognized "Sun Salutation", "Downward Dog", the "Warrior" poses, and "Child's Pose". It overall was a really good workout and I look forward to starting to feel the burn again tomorrow!
