Week 5: Day 1

strength training:

• yoga (@ 12pm) = 1 hour

Since today is a major holiday (Labor Day), the YMCA is closed, so there is no karate training tonight.

My right shoulder is sore...from yoga. How did that happen? Since the class is always moving at a fast pace and we do a lot of "hard" (for me) moves and poses, I don't know which moves or combination of moves that got me sore. My back feels more flexible than it used to be. We haven't done the wheel pose (back bend) in a long time, but I'm able to place my hands next to my head (for the set up), and lift my head up off the floor when I get into the wheel pose. I was able to do the wheel with my head off of the floor before, but I had to place my hands a bit farther away. So this is progress.
