Defo psych yourselves folks. 6 pack abs day is back, and it's brutal. Enjoy the waffle to begin with, cos you really don't want more of that pain! Not gonna lie - I took a few time outs by the end!
Is it just me, or is Adrienne super-chatty this year?
I will plan to see the program through but for the first time ever (this will be my 4th year) I find myself getting a bit irritated by the chatter and thinking “can’t we just move on now...?”
I agree with this...its a little much. I find myself getting a little frustrated by the chatting too, especially since I'm trying to concentrate on keeping m ybreathing in sync with the movements, and she always comes back in out of sync with me.
Doing my yoga at least five times a week and loving it. Started when the pandemic really hit about seven months ago. Credit this and tracking my diet for my 25 lb weight loss. I’ve achieved goals in yoga I never thought possible. Working now on my forearm stand after achieving a solid handstand. So far to see the world upside down. Things that have helped me are : purchased a subscription to Spotify. Has great music and podcasts that inspire my practice, comfortable workout clothes that make me feel good about myself, using my iPhone to take videos and photos of my progress monthly, and setting up my yoga in a sunny room in the house with scented candles. It’s my escape and makes me feel so much better about everything when I’m done. 💖

Day 6 was serious business. I took a couple of little breaks today and I LOVED the way she would say "if you took a break, come back for this last set" or somethin' like that. Perfect for some of us who are very very new to yoga and kept me involved. Somehow I wasn't ready for it to end, even though it was tougher.
Day 6 was a fail for me. My arms were hurting from too many planks and down dogs the past few days, so I struggled with those, and some of the core exercises were experienced more as back pain than stomach strengthening. I've hurt my back before doing cobras and locusts, so I know I need to be cautious, so I really ended up going light today.
Ouchie @spiriteagle99. You're wise to listen to your body and take it easy. I've just done a 6 mile walk, and I've still to walk the dog, so I'm hoping for a nice easy one today to stretch out the leg and back muscles. Interestingly I've noticed a tendency to belly breathe as I exerted myself up the hills today - which I've not been aware of doing before - so something from this practice seems to have settled in my subconscious!
I'm lagging behind but still doing it daily. Today is Day 5 for me, but the amount of talking, bursting into song, and quoting "Mr Willy Shakespeare" are not gelling with me. I'm finding it very distracting. I am new to Adriene's channel and determined to at least give it a while longer for me to get comfortable with her style.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds the pace a little challenging. I might try revisiting the whole series, until I get it right.
That might be at a 3-4 times/week pace, but I'm determined to continue, as I really feel the benefit.
I'm up to speed with it, but yeah, she's MUCH more chatty and singy this time which is distracting.
I also got to very end feeling quite good about myself when she said "bring your head to your (prayer positioned) hands and maybe take a look at your sweet toes..." Lady, now I KNOW you've lost a bit of your touch. My belly is no where near letting me see my sweet anything!

I made it through day one with a tiny modification here and there.
Looking forward to Day 2 tomorrow

Same!
