Woo-hoo!
If you look at my calendar, you will see that I’ve decided Sunday counted as my starting point. So, in theory, today marked my fourth day, and I am officially in bootcamp.
Today, I remembered to add OIP/HF before TWO — I kept meaning to do it after PBS, before Plies, but always forgot. OMG, that really helped me with awareness of keeping a tighter tummy during my workout. Foci of the day: lift the ribs, pull in the tummy, shoulder back more during moves where I was losing that, such as Torso Twist.
Oh, I also about halfway through the workout, remembered that I’ve been meaning to breathe. It’s not that I’ve been holding my breath for 50 minutes or anything (I am, after all, still alive) — more that I think I’ve been in the wrong part of the breathing cycle during twisting moves. Remembering to time the exhale to the twist made a difference of perhaps 1-2 more inches of twist in TT for instance. Nice.
I’ve found my NK flow. I was already glistening by the end of PBS, damp by the end of Plies, and downright sweaty by the end of Reach-Scoop. Throwaway move? Heck, no. I love that one.
Can you tell I’m hyper?
The kidlet is home from school with a tummy bug, but napping (hence my uninterrupted workout), and we’re going to head to Colorado a day early, since they’re projecting snow for Thurs/Fri. Clinic in 3 days, yippie!
