Ohhhhhmmmmm.... Ohhhhhhmmmmm... OhhhMG!! The only thing going through my head during the Yoga X work out (besides massive amounts of rushing blood) was my chiropractor's voice going, "What the HELL are you doing??!!".
For those of you who haven't done this work out (or have but have forgotten all about it thanks to extensive psychotherapy), it is 90 minutes long. In a normal (read: sane) person's life, that is about the length of a movie. That you sit down during. And eat popcorn. And maybe fold a couple loads of laundry. This was an hour and a half of "stand on one leg, put the other leg straight up in the air, bend your torso through your legs, and now attempt to kiss your own ass". Well, it felt like that anyways. As it was, I really was able to handle most of it except the super bendy, twisty, stand on your head things. The second half was more balance poses and if I needed more motivation to get wood floors, that would be it. Its terribly difficult to retain your balance successfully when you are standing on high pile carpet, albeit on a yoga mat. I also learned that it is terribly difficult to retain a bridge or table pose when your cat seems to think that the space vacated by your suspended ass is just the coziest place she could lay down in the entire house. She's a little flatter, I'm a little scratched, but we are both the wiser for it.
