AM
Push ups 10 (5, 5,)
BW squats 10 (10)
Meditate - 8:00 (8:00 Meditation Day 2)
-
Daily Step Total - 10,000
--
Today was supposed to be a bit more of a workout. But an impromptu happy hour with some of my people led to more than a couple hours of pizza and beer and more beer.
So I ended up with my personal program minimum, which is push ups , squats and meditate in the AM before work. And at least 10,000 steps.
Mixed in with those steps are blocks of HH step and curl. I'm currently using the 5s for blocks of 5:00. So this AM i had a few extra minutes and did a block of 5:00. Tonight I got home so I "walked" in the house for 20 minutes with 2 blocks of 5:00 for the HH. I might not regularly record the HH work. I'll just lump in with my steps.
Today was day one of the "program minimum." I've been meditating again for about a week now. But today is the second day of using the 8:00 meditation book which is really good.

Good day. Getting back into the running with some easy walk/run days. The post run yoga is my own thing modified from the YRG books 20 minute routine.
The current workout goal is something like this:
Program Minimum every day - which is AM push ups and squats, AM meditate, walk at least 10,000 steps. The 10,000 steps does not include workout time. More steps when I can. Heavy Hands with the steps when I can.
Jog/Run 2 times a week.
Yoga and KB swings 3 to 4 times a week. The KB swings are simply 10 on the minute for a max of 10 minutes. Yoga is either DDP Yoga...Power Yoga...YRG book routine....that type of thing.
At least this is the current plan. I will modify as needed.

Today I did one of the "live" classes. I didn't do it live but all the live ones are filmed and you have access. They go back to like 2016 I think. It was a DDP class from 2017. 50 minutes. This one had a lot of his isometrics, which I don't like. It's not what I'm trying to get out of the yoga. There was a nice leg balance to runner's lunge to superstar sequence. A nice warrior sequence.....this one was an intermediate class. And to be fair, I did sweat a lot and I was tired at the end.

In addition to the DDP Yoga Now app, I purchases Bryan Kest's online Power Yoga. I think it is fantastic. All the videos have been great. Good clear instruction. There are a ton of vids and a lot of different kinds. I've found a few I didn't like, but only because it was not what I was exactly looking for at that moment. Worth every penny. When the time comes, I think I might drop the DDP Yoga Now and keep the Bryan Kest.
Or just keep them both. Here in southern cali most yoga places are like 20 a class now. For less than that a month I have access to enough classes between the two sites to keep me busy forever.
Also today I decided to really get serious about my diet. I've got to drop some lbs.

A few notes -
BW squats, the difference between doing these first thing on a weekday AM vs the weekend after being up, running, etc. is a lot. So I am not going to be adding any sets or such foolishness.
Yoga - the yoga doc class was really good. It was a yellow, which is intermediate. Much more like the old school YRG stuff. Lots of good twists. Some balancing. I found it difficult. He also did work in splits (which I cannot do) the crow (which I cannot do) and a forearm shoulder stand (I cannot do.) You usually do not find these in the yellow. I liked his stuff a lot. Not really any of the isometrics, punches, or those sorts of things.

Ended the work day with fewer steps than normal. A lot of desk work. Had to do a lot of HH walking at the house. Which is good. After I hit 11,000 I spent about 10 minutes just working variations of the ignition sequence from YRG book. Trying to loosen the lower back and hips.

Had an interview for a secondary/part time job. Some event managemen-security stuff. Went well. Hoping it works out. I'd love to get out of the uber/lyft game for the extra cash.

Re: Don't Call it a Comeback 2.0
Mick, it is by far my all time favorite yoga program. I think it is the perfect balance of yoga for western body types. It avoids all of his later isometrics bullshit (which I can appreciate it for what it is, but it is not my thing.)Mickey O'neil wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 12:11 amI should go back to the book at some point.

Another thing you might like if you haven't checked it out - poweryoga.com
It is Bryan Kest's site. And even if you don't pony up the bones for access, there are always two or three free videos and they rotate monthly (or something like that.
But for me it was well worth the money.

Re: Don't Call it a Comeback 2.0
I have Kest's DVD package. I do like it even though I don't do it that often. https://www.amazon.com/Bryan-Kests-Powe ... B00ATDX6Z4
Probably my favorite power vinyasa yoga DVD is Yoga Doc's. Dr. Craig Aaron's Extreme Yoga for the Warrior Athlete. That is my go to when I want to do power yoga and my favorite "real" yoga is David Swenson's Ashtanga Yoga Short Forms. I have been trying to concentrate on just ashtanga yoga now but I do throw in a session of power yoga every couple of practices.
I recently got Baron Baptiste's Power Vinyasa Yoga DVD Journey Into Power - Level 2. I wasn't sure about it at first but I just did it for a second time and liked it much more. That was a recommendation from Wild Bill.
