Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hi Everyone, Well, I've been really bad this week about doing yoga/Pilates in the evening. I intended to do it last night, but DH was camped in front of the TV - I could have done something in the bedroom, but I didn't feel like it - so tonight I have plans to get some Pilates and/or yoga in. This morning I started off with T-Tapp Basic Plus (approx. 15 min) as my warm-up then I did Yoga Now Accelerated Practice. Rodney Yee and Mariel Hemingway lead this - Rodney, obviously is the main lead, but you do get some voice-over comments/cueing from Mariel as well - but it isn't annoying or anything - she and Rodney compliment each other very well in this one. The accelerated practice is 50 min long and is basically a longer version of the 30 min practice. It is a bit hard to describe as it is different from traditional yoga - you really don't do the traditional sun salutation vinyasas in this one - rather, you do a mini vinyasa, add in a pose like warrior, triangle, side angle and then you do some " cardio intensifier " type moves - arm swings, little jumps, and lunges where you switch your feet at a moderate pace - this part reminded me a bit of kundalini style yoga. The workout starts in a reclined position - to both stretch and do some yoga ab work. Then you begin the standing part, doing the " cardio intensifier " (for lack of a better word) moves in between some vinyasas. The practice ends with some floor and seated postures. Overall it was a good one for today. I didn't feel like doing my short cardio workout today and will hopefully get it done tomorrow before Legs & Back. I think I might do a walking workout to warm up my legs before L & B. BTW, I noticed this last time I did Legs & Back my legs weren't as sore as they had been in the past -so I might think about switching up the leg routine. I also am not terribly sore from Chest, Shoulder & Triceps yesterday - although it was hard when I did it. Anyway, hope everyone has a good day! Take care, Donna ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Mobile.
