Day 62 - March 3, 2011

OMG....a workout not from the Heavens...

Today's workout was a killer! But I'm loving it! ;-) It was my very own special routine that I decided to create for the days that I should be doing Yoga but don't. Did I tell you that I hate, hate, hate, Yoga? LOL! I know I've already said that but just needed to reiterate that.  So I thought I'd have a bright idea and create an alternative to the body twisting routine of "P90X."  What I didn't realize is that between Tony Horton and Shaun T., they have created an exercise monster in me. LOL! In case you'd like to try the workout or know what I did, the following is my routine.
