P90X Day 12 And The Primal Blueprint Diet – Yoga X
If you look at The Primal Blueprint and think about the outline of fitness Mark Sisson gives in the book, yoga would probably fall under the rest/walk days. Nothing too strenuous, some stretching, some light resistance work (body weight only), and some sweat, but nothing overboard.
Well, at least that’s how I view the yoga.
Decided to chicken out of doing P90X2′s yoga and stuck with Fountain Of Youth (48 minutes is big reason why). I also wanted to do this one to test my shoulders. Here is what I learned:
- Push-ups still bother me slightly at the bottom in the left arm.
- Side arm balance is still not comfortable, but if I strengthen/tighten the arm muscles and push harder against the floor while doing this, I experience less pain. Definitely something I’m going to discuss with my therapist as I think we may be able to correct the muscles to handle this.
But overall a good yoga session. I need to work on my hips and hip flexors. I was feeling it in the Warrior 3 series!
Today was an okay diet day. Nothing off the diet (too far):
Breakfast – Primal smoothie (which I will not do again) with 2 eggs from free range chickens.
Lunch – Chef Salad with ham and salami and jack cheese, lettuce, sweet red peppers, some tomato, and other veggies that I cannot remember. House dressing (which I thought was made from EVOO, but after eating I’m doubting it was…bad Omega 6 day).
Supper – Chili. Barely any pork rinds to go with it.
I’d say my carb and calorie count was low, but oh well. It was one of those days where I was stressed enough to want to eat off the diet, but I refused to stray too far (the dressing being about the worse thing for me).
