Finding my balance…

Today was the start of a new week with new goals and it was a success! I ended up going for a short walk/run in the morning as the weather was so cool, it just seemed a waste not to go out there and enjoy it.  My legs are pretty sore from of all things – the P90X yoga! It is not a high caloric burning exercise but is so effective and I think will be really helpful in keeping me flexible and for prevention of injuries.  When I was finished with the yoga I felt exhausted and yet I felt as if I was full of energy! 

Workout 1 – Slow walk/run – 25 min walk with 21 min non stop slow run. After my run I did a 20 min balance ball pilates DVD. Only burned 47 caloires with this one but it was a great stretch and the perfect way to start off my day.
