Intu-flow

All I did today was JM

Intu-flow Beginner level

I like what I did today. Some of the move in the KB warm-up are more advanced. Next week I may look into do both on my KB days.

I went back and did the intermediate level also. I will watch the advanced and master levels tomorrow

A trying day with a couple of bright spots

At 12:15, I received a call from my wife saying that she was told by a nurse to take my youngest son to the ER. I arrived at the ER at 12:45. We got home at 5:25. My son is fine with another follow up in 3 days. That is one bright spot. The other is that my Intu-flow DVD set came today. I am surprised it wasn't stolen, it was hanging half way out of my mailbox.

I am getting ready to watch the beginner section. I may try it later. If I do, I will post it.

No KBs today either

This the first time in in the last 1.5 yrs that I have not done any KBs. It actually feels good

I practiced the sitting version of 'Be Breathed' off and on all day at work today

JM- Sonnon's warm-up

Standing 'Be Breathed' 20 reps

Sonnon cool-down

I did up to the last 4 exercises. I still can't do the plow, my spine is still to tight, and my gut is still in the way. I am hoping 'Be Breathed' helps with that.

The locust and seal walk are awesome. The elbow lever is hard as hell.

I will try and do this more after each work out.

I plan on adding KBs back in next week.

More FlowFit tomorrow. I can't wait.

Another FlowFit day

JM - Sonnon Warm-up(I wish Intu-flow would get here)

FlowFit Level 2 - 17 Minutes

Held the bottom of a Trinity Squat for 2 minutes.

Didn't feel like training so i just did JM - Sonnon warm-up. I am still waiting on Intu-flow to arrive.

JM, Flowfit and tried the cool-down

JM - Sonnon warm-up

Flowfit level 2 - 16 minutes

Tried the cool-down - I need a lot of help here.

Review of the 4x7 protocol and my next schedule

For the past 28 days i have been following Scott Sonnon's 4x7 protocol. All that i can say is that it is awesome. I am stronger and leaner. By adding in more JM and yoga (Flowfit - a Prasara flow) I am moving better. While i love the protocol, it has some effect on family life. With no days off for 28 days, it makes family outing difficult.

So for the next month i will doing the following to focus more on JM and yoga

MWF

JM - Sonnon warm-up until Intu-flow gets here

Breathing techniques

Flowfit

Compensatory cool-down(work on this)

I have decided to get intu-flow soon so I can have all 4 levels of the program.

My new goal is to increase my flow!

JM

CBs and JM

Day 14

This has been a busy day. The family and I demolished our deck today. This was here when we bought the house, and I didn't like it so it had to go. Then we headed off to the dump to get rid of the wood, I kept the posts though, I have a plan for those.

The wife and i brought our old 4:3 54" big screen up the steps and into the living room so I would have a place to do some of my DVDs and a place for us to eat since the boys have taken over to family room in the basement. This allowed me to break out the VCR and re-watch Scott Sonnon's CST VHS. Afterwards, i worked out
