Round 3 / Day 81: One-on-One with Tony Horton - Fountain of Youth

Unbelievably creaky/rickety this morning, and even 45 minutes of yoga didn't loosen me up much. I guess there are limits to even Tony Horton's abilities.

I kind of need a break.

Round 2 / Day 81: Insanity Max Interval Plyo

With only a week or so left in Round 2, I'm kind of running out of juice. My Power Jump landings were a little wobblier than usual, and the Level 3 Drills wiped me out today. I can't wait until I'm able to take a mini-vacation nine days from now.

Day 81: Yoga X

Even with my legs on fire, I maintained good form throughout both Hand-Grab Twisting Right Angle Poses this morning, and I even managed to hold Twisting Half Moon. I stayed perfectly still in Crane for the full minute. And during seated hamstring stretches, I managed to rest my forehead on my knees while keeping my legs straight. After today's 90-minute workout, I felt like one hell of an accomplished yogi.

But then I watched New York Magazine's video about the 7th Annual Asana Yoga Competition, and quickly came to the crushing realization that I have absolutely nothing to crow about. I will never, ever be as grossly flexible as these Gumby-like approximations of actual human beings. (But maybe that's a good thing, because these people look kind of scary.)
