#DDPYNOREPEATS Momentum Day 2 & Notes on the Day

     Today was Fatburner+Red Hot Core.  After doing a long stretch of the longer workouts (Strength Builder, Diamond Cutter & Double Black Diamond), going back to the shorter end feels almost too short, if that makes sense. 

     However, knowing that lets me trying to turn up the intensity on engaging my muscles throughout.  There have been some people just starting in DDP Yoga that have had questions on feeling that they are engaging enough, especially in the upper body.

     My advise has been to get the feel for the engagement by going into Plank.  Make sure that you are engaging your lower half while you're doing this to get the whole body involved.  Notice, you are basically in Ignition position, only your are facing the floor.  Rotate your hands (with the pressure on your palms) so that  your fingers are pointing out instead of forward.  Now, just like you pull your legs together without moving them, do that same thing with your arms in this position, fingers wide.  This will give you a good idea on what to strive for when engaging in Ignition.



Now for the numbers:
Total Workout Time: 41 minutes
Average Heart Rate: 118bpm
Maximum Heart Rate: 148bpm
Time in the Zone: 35 minutes.

I'm taking some PTO tomorrow to sleep extra in efforts to keep from getting this cold/sore throat that has been nagging me over the week.  Sore Throats + Business Tech Support over the phone = A lot of frustrated customers asking what's wrong with my phone line or if there's something wrong with my voice. 

So, a little voice rest, a lot of juicing with Kale, Carrots, Ginger & Lemons and Water this weekend.  And, of course, sweating it out with my DDP Yoga.
