Ok...apparently I took too much time off from it. Got back to it today and huffed and puffed and yelled at Jillian all the way through it. It's been more than a week since I did a Yoga meltdown and it showed today!!

    Yep! I took some time off too. Its ludicrous how I can work so hard, drop some weight, then I take a break and gain it all back..... Ha! My goal is not to take a break and keep on keepin on.

    That Yoga Meltdown is brutal but very effective. I have yet to complete it without flippin off Jillian at least once.

    Maybe it's just me.... But I can't step to the top of the mat! How the hell do they get their leg up there? And jump to the top? Is she crazy?!

    I do love it though!

    I did level two for the first time yesterday, and in some ways I actually found it less challenging than level one. It seems like level two is much more of a balance challenge than a strength challenge. Balancing certainly takes a lot of focus and concentration, but my muscles weren't screaming and I wasn't huffing as much as I do in level one. Perhaps I am doing it all wrong though! HOWEVER, the last circuit is a brutal ab workout. Brutal. But for me, that was the hardest part of level two.

    What kinds of results have you all been noticing?? I have been doing YM 5 days a week for the past two weeks and the poses are DEFINITELY getting easier, but I haven't lost any weight. What about you all??

    How are you all logging YM workout? I logged it as calisthenics vigorous effort, but the calories burned seems a bit high. I'd love to hear how you're logging it on MFP.

    I can't recall exactly how I set it up, but it may have been through this calculator.....

    Thanks for the feedback on level YM two. I will give it a whirl...

    Oh. By the way, my burned caloric count is pretty high. I sweat like a dog. Thanks again.

    I've taken multiple weeks off of my yoga practice. Today, I'm hurting. New plan - yoga meltdown each day this week in the AM. Then twice a week there after.... just to switch things up.:drinker:
