P90X: Day 27 - Yoga X

Yoga X

Shall I chant "Gumby" is a seductive voice to get the message clearly across? If I were as flexible as the individuals on the Yoga X DVD, I would be afraid of puncturing an internal organ or two. I swear I saw the arm of an EMS staff member on the side lines of this video because they realized the danger and liability associated with people dismembering themselves voluntarily. I'm sure these people have given themselves black eyes for falling down to stretch their hamstrings not realizing there is nothing stopping them from smacking themselves in the head with their knee cap.

Ok, ok, enough about how flexible these people can get on Yoga X. Lets move on to a better subject. Alcohol, in conjunction with sports. How does Yoga X play into this scenario? It doesn't, but it does raise awareness for Alcohol related sports injuries by developing a physical routine boring enough to put the drunk to sleep... see 'corpse pose'. Regardless, drunk people should not do Yoga X. True story.

My thoughts: Not Natural, never will be. However, if the program requires that my downward dog be practiced 400 times to be on the cover of 'downward dog weekly', then so be it! I will do your 'downward dog' and see you a tree pose good sir! The workout went fine. I do NOT like the exercises up on your neck. I have opted out of those out of fear of hurting something permanently in my neck. During that time, I generally just stretch other things like my hamstrings or various other ligaments and muscles.

Where and when is it appropriate to be this flexible? Freaky Naughty in the Bedroom, that's where.
