Starting a Yoga Program

We’re going to start doing more yoga and the woman we followed on Sunday has a 30 day playlist which we’re going to progress through, just not in 30 days because we’ll try to do them on rest days and maybe on the weekends. Yesterday we did day one, which was 29 minutes long.

Hold It v2

No workout yesterday since Dad offered to come down and help in the kitchen. He got my snow blower running and then we laid the new flooring. After taking the previous two days to remove the old flooring, I’m beat after three days of basically sitting and kneeling on the floor.

My triceps are really sore again, but this time from the bench and triceps work we did on Friday. My shoulders and chest feel it a bit as well.
