Workout Journal Notes

I did it! Speed camp and a full 90-minute Bikram Yoga class back-to-back for the ultimate 2-a-day!

It started off with speed camp this morning and the weather was great compared to the frigid temperatures we’ve had the last few times.

It was about 50 degrees, but today’s workout was still plenty tough!

We focused a lot on power and short distances today, and everyone was spent by the end of “Phase 3.”

Then, since today was Free Bikram Yoga Day in Richmond today, I decided to revisit my old nemesis.

The heat of the virtual steam room wasn’t quite as bad as it seemed my very first time, probably just because I knew more of what to expect, even though it’s been several months since my last session.

I thought my body wouldn’t have much left after this morning, but I managed to get through the full 90 minutes pretty well.

Of course, my long, lanky body still rejected a few of the more graceful poses, but I really do love the feeling of sweating so profusely and stretching everything out.

In fact, it feels like it may have actually helped relieve my body from this morning’s work, but tomorrow morning when I wake up will be the real test!

Tomorrow is measurement day too, so be sure to check back for the updated stats and measurements.
