Day 50 is the start of a new workout schedule, with a focus on recovery and ab work.  I don’t feel sore or like I need recovery time, but I’ll take it.

In today’s P90x Yoga X workout I was finally able to hold crane pose for more than 8 seconds.  Balancing in that position was always hard for me, and I think I lacked the strength to be able to hold it for long.  Now that I’m stronger it was much easier to hold.  I wasn’t able to hold it the whole minute, but it was a huge improvement nonetheless!

I realized in this workout that I have been slacking on poses by not getting down low enough. In previous workouts I thought I was doing fairly well, today however, I noticed that I really am not getting as low as I could.  I suppose I spent more time concentrating on my arms than how low I was.

Yoga has always been hard, but it is so much harder when you get low in the stances.  My legs really felt it.
