Who doesn’t love getting in some yoga with Tony Horton? I will say up front that I am not very good at it. But I will say that I try. I do my best and I forget the rest. This is one area of my fitness that I trust what Tony tells me and I do it. But we can also say that from the way I feel after a round of Yoga, I’m whooped, yet feeling refreshed. Fitness is more than just lifting weights and doing some cardio based workout.
Tony Horton brought to the masses 5 years ago with his P90x program a 90 minute long yoga workout. Then when he began his One-on-One volumes, he came out with 2 others (Fountain of Youth and Patience Hummingbird) to help reduce the amount of time spent but still effective and true to what Tony wants us to get out of his Yoga workouts. Many folks complained about the length of time. Tony is such a firm believer in yoga that This new one, geared towards the next P90x MC2, brings new breathe and life. I found that this new Yoga program in Volume 3 is the best all around for me.
MC2 Yoga focuses on breathe and movement. Finding the balance between the two with very exact moves that are slow but force you to really realize the movements and the benefits of understanding your breathing and the movements you are doing. I myself will do what I can and realize this is my ‘weakest’ link in my overall exercise program. I don’t spend enough time doing Yoga, but I know the benefits. This will be one that I throw into the rotation in order to increase my capabilities in this area.
Yoga alone has incredible benefits for your core, your strength and your balance which in the end is an absolute must for any workout program, any sport, and just anything you do in life. You’ll feel calmer and more at ease if you really allow yourself to take that leap.
Equipment: Usual Yoga mat, water, towel, yoga block, face towel
Duration: ~63 minutes
Concepts: Strength, power, flexibility, breathing, range of motion
One thing, you can’t just ‘do’ the motions or skip the hard moves. I’ll admit that I have in the past. But if you want the true benefits do everything. Just like w/ cardio, weights, you have to give it 110% of your effort to see the maximum benefits.
Tony is focused and intense and ready to show you where you can go in life. Yoga MC2 is rock solid!
Working out isn’t just something we do. It is a way of life, a chance to better yourself mentally and physically. You feel better, you live longer, you are more confident and there is no reason that everyone out there shouldn't’ be able to take advantage of these benefit. Take a step in the right direction and get started on a fitness program. Even if it is just walking daily. Contact me with any questions about how to get started. I’m here to help and love to see people do the right thing!
Decide. Commit. Succeed!
