32. Energy + Fat Burner

Well. That was an interesting idea.

My Grandpa died so I spent a few days in Scotland with my family. It was kinda fun actually, my sister does climbing at her Uni and they have free yoga lesson at the climbing centre so we had fun comparing and contrasting styles. She taught me Sun Salute which is series of moves I'm going to try to do every morning to improve my flexibility, plus she said it took her about 6 months to be able to touch her toes which makes me feel better about my piss-poor hamstrings. It was sad, but kind of ok, he'd had a nice life and he was very very old.

So I'm not sure why I decided to do both of these things today. Weirdly now my calves hurt loads, though that might be from wandering all over the hilly terrain of Scotland in DM's that don't tie up. Oops. Energy was fine, standing split is still useless but I'm trying to keep my hands closer to my feet in an attempt to be more flexible and it doesn't seem ot make that much difference so maybe I'm bendier than I thought. I tired to lift my knees off the floor during the crocodile bit of push ups, that went ok once but made the rest of the workout much harder on my arms.
I stopped for some breakfast between workouts, fruit and yoghurt. I'd been to the market before I had to run off North so we've got LOADS of fruit in the fridge, a completely ridiculous amount of oranges for a quid which I will never eat all of and must take to work. We also got a bunch of veg so I'm going to have awesome couscous and veg today, oooh, maybe with eggs!
Fat Burner was ok, I'm getting used to the speed of it though thunderbolt is still a nightmare. I worry that I curve my spine inwards too much when I try to straighten my back so I'm concentrating on keeping my tailbone tucked in but it's ruining my form on almost everything else. Stupid spine. Push ups were HARD. I tried again to lift my knees off the floor but I nearly died and couldn't even plank without my knees on the last push up of all. Now my arms hurt A LOT but they're always the first thing to go when I stop doing yoga for a while so I wanted to push myself a bit since I've missed a few days. Thanks me! You jerk.
Right. Now I must get my shit together. My Education boss has given me the day off but I know I got behind before I left so I'm going to go in for an hour or so, then go see the cool exhibition my friends are running in town.
