Tik Tok #2

This morning I got in another Tik Tok round from BodyRock.tv.  Short but very sweet!

I'm going to get good at skipping rope with this one, I think.

My combo times this time were: 3:37, 4:06, 3:43.  Last time they were 4:21, 4:05, 3:48.

Good stuff!

Good lift!

I got another good lift in today.  I'm still trying not to do anything that will aggravate my hip.  I've been without pain for a couple days.  That's nice.  I made some good progress today.  Plenty hard!  The bench press isn't going up as fast as I had hoped, but I still made progress, I think.

Yoga this morning!

I bought a subscription to YogaDownload.com a little while back.  I'm enjoying it.  I really like the audio classes with pose guides better than the videos, which was what I was using at YogaToday.com.  Not that their videos were bad. They were very good.  It's just nice to be able to shut my eyes when I want and even take off my glasses.  Also, I don't have to face the screen constantly.

Today's yoga practice was a Power Vinyasa Flow called Yoga for Buns.  Besides the talk about "toning and sculpting"  *GAG* it was a really good class!  I saw lots of progress during the class in the utkatasana pose, which I love.  At first it was vary hard, but by the end I was low and strong.  Nice.  I also like the vinyasa aspect, with the linking to the breath.  Unless I'm told whether I should be inhaling or exhaling, I get lost and frustrated.  The instructor did a great job leading the breathing, guiding through the poses, and giving little tweaks to improve each pose.  My savasana wasn't as nice as it sometimes is.  It was a little short.  But, it didn't help that my computer decided to channel a message from aliens from outer space in the middle.  Not sure why my computer messes up audio like that sometimes.  It's a cute but wimpy little thing.  Maybe it just can't handle all the power I'm releasing in its presence.  Ha!

Hot Body Beach Workout

Ha ha ha!  That is the name for the BodyRock.tv workout I did this morning.  Weather was predicted as relatively cold and windy, so I decided not to try running.  The running from Tuesday hit my right side a bit funny.  I think that whole side is tight.  I could feel it down in my foot.  I sure wouldn't want that to degenerate into full blown plantar fasciitis.  My left arch was also a tad sore, but it was the right side that was worse.  I did some extra stretching this morning for my legs and hit my arches good with the golf ball.

Well, I wasn't on a beach, but I sure was hot during today's workout, because I was sweating up a storm!  I started off with foam rolling and some mobility work.  Then came the torture!  Ha!  I wish I had a sea to take a dip in to cool off like Zuzana.  Around 25-30 minutes of intense work.  I was really frustrated, though, because I kept pressing the wrong buttons on my HRM/GPS watch.  I did find my Gymboss (thanks Cim!) which I had been looking for for days!  Of course, it was right where I thought it should be, just hidden behind a book.  Argh!  I had looked all over the house several times.  Oh, well.  I have it again now!  It is great for intervals!

I won't repost everything that was in the workout this morning, but I will record my counts for a record to compare myself to next time:
