Yoga Toning - Day 40

I remember doing this workout before and finding it difficult.

Today, it was a much better effort. I managed to do all of the poses, even the Crow pose for 2 seconds.

I had to remind myself to be aware of all the muscles I should be flexing in each pose, but it was good when I focused.

Next time, I will push to last throughout all poses!

15 minutes and 4 stars!

DIVA Class #1

It was good to get back in this class since the initial "preview" class in March.

Although it was not as difficult of a workout, it was a good challenge to work up a sweat. We did body isolations, diva walk, hip hop and choreographed steps.

Did some moves to Ciara's "Like A Boy" and it was fun. Looking forward to next week's class...!

Run! - Day 39

So I had to guesstimate how far I ran. I timed it so that I ran for 30 minutes, which is approximately 3 kms. 

It was great! The weather is nice and cool and I worked up a sweat without feeling uncomfortable. 

It's amazing how much distance you can cover in 30 minutes. I even saw some stores I've never seen before in a neighbourhood near the main shoppes.

Looking forward to Wednesday's workout as this week's workout says I should take a break tomorrow night. Perfect! 5 stars!

Present - Day 38

Starting a 4-week program using the Nike App. I also chose to include runs and I am pleased to see 3 miles of steady running has been included for every other day...! The weather is warming up and I'll be so happy to include this in my workout.

Today I did 30 minutes and it was somewhat difficult to get back into exercising as I have been neglecting it for a while now.

Otherwise, it was a 4-star workout. Done!

Insanity Asylum - Day 37

First time to try Insanity via DVD. Fun!

I'm a visual learner and this was a treat because I could be more aware of my form and speed.

I randomly chose Core Cardio and Balance because I need a lot of cardio to get leaner. It was definitely a sweat!

Also happy to learn more workouts. Although I didn't last through as many sets as I wanted to.

37 minutes and 4 stars!

Vino and Vinyasa - Day 36

Although I am still as hungover as a grandpa's ballsack, it was an amazing day on Saturday...!

Sister's stagette consisted of a lovely and intimate group of ladies.

As we got into our yoga poses, it was great to visualize one's capability of conquering a pose. We often forget how to give ourselves credit for the little things and this really gave me that feeling of validation.

The yoga DJ played some amazing music too (yes, we had a DJ)! I am looking forward to getting his playlist. Doing a fun spin on yoga with added dance moves was fun and entertaining.

Head stands were an advanced pose that we all got to try. Not sure I will try it again. But I wasn't the only one with that same thought. Haha

At least we got rewarded by enjoying glasses of wine afterward with the ladies who shared their intentions for the bride's future. Such a great set of memories to hold in our lives...!

1.5 hours of yoga and 5 stars!

Easter-themed inspiration for our ongoing Spartan Sprint training:

ichibum day 50 (skipped day 49)

Got my car detailed this morning and didn't want to wait an hour and a half to get picked up. Decided to walk/jog from 5325 91 Street to the Whyte ave shop. 105 st and 82 ave. 

Omitting voiding the puddles and jogging in winter boots and jeans, it was a good start to the day. My goal was to make it to Whyte ave shop under an hour under my condition and yup. Did it. :)

And now for some yoga in a bit for a stagette. Woot woot.

- peace out

Ichibum
