Yoga for Strength take 2
Who: Radagast and SO
Exercise type: Yoga for Strength video
Portions of tape: vinyasa, balancing poses (session 2)
Duration: ~30 minutes
Notes: This was our first time through the second half of the Yoga for Strength tape, which we found to be more difficult than the first half of the tape. This segment focused on balancing poses. Particularly difficult were the pendulum (we could only just get ourselves off the floor, much less bend forward), crane (very hard on the wrists, and hard to hold for more than a few seconds), brave warrior (for which we needed a chair to keep ourselves from falling over), boat pose (Radagast's SO kept tipping forward, and Radagast's abs were screaming), and half moon (we had trouble raising our rear legs high enough). So, in brief, we had trouble doing just about all the poses. That said, we're already sore, and this will surely be a good strength workout.
Soreness report: Already sore minutes after doing the workout.
