First Impressions of Yoga Meltdown

So I finally pulled myself off of the couch after a few days of rest and relaxation and tried my new Jillian DVD. Man it was tough. Let me start by saying I'm in no means a "Yogi" nor am I flexible. The DVD is broken down into two separate workouts, level 1 and level 2. Obviously level 2 is a more advanced workout and should be done if you're more advanced. I probably won't be venturing to do that workout for a while. I'd really like to master level 1 first.

The yoga in the DVD isn't your typical quiet and relaxed yoga, it's yoga mixed with aerobic moves which in my opinion makes it pretty difficult. My only other experience with yoga like I said in a previous post is with P90X (which I am starting back up in Jan!) This isn't a DVD where you hold a move for 30 seconds to a minute (or longer if you're that awesome). This DVD has you moving in and out of a move as if you were doing weighted repetitions. I was introduced to a few new moves (camel and dolphin) which I thought were pretty awesome and I could definitely feel the burn!

Hopefully I can keep some sort of routine up these next few weeks before I go home for the holidays. I'll more than likely do random Jillian DVDs until I begin P90X again.
