Day 12 - Bendy I am not (yet!)

This is one of the DVDs that seems to highlight my lack of flexibility the most!  I feel quite awkward in some of the poses, especially the reverse triangle pose and balance.  Today I used the blocks as an aid though and was able to achieve a better position, so I’ll continue to do that.  I’ll certainly feel a massive sense of achievement when I can do this DVD and feel comfortable and graceful.  Glad I’ve still got a while to work on it!

I did hardCORE  in the evening.  I quite enjoy this.  I managed to hold the plank sequence as long as Travis which I was chuffed about.  I also swam 70 lengths this afternoon so I should sleep well tonight!

I have been researching online about mala beads and have ordered a custom bracelet.  I found out what all the different stones/crystals signify and chose what meant the most to me.  I’m the type of person that likes to have a symbol that represents something; I can wear this bracelet all the time and it will provide a constant reminder and reassurance of my goals and journey.

I can’t remember much of the ‘Vitality’ DVD apart from the emphasis being on backbends, so let’s see what tomorrow brings!
