Today I had to workout late, I was not able to workout till about 9:30pm. Not sure how good of an idea that was, for some reason while I was warming up with jumping jacks, I hurt my right calve, a nice shooting pain, I stopped the jumping jacks tried to walk and I was limping, my first thought was, CRAP! I am going to have to take a day off, But most of the exercises were mostly engaging the core muscles, so I said to myself, lets continue and anything that has to do with the calve muscles I will take it easy. Well I am glad I did, the workout was fun and tiring as heck LOL. I did some things I thought I would not do, which is fantastic. Lets see how I did

First off some of these I was trying to figure out what to do and making sure I was doing them right so I forgot to count or could not figure out how they were doing the count on the reps and since I did all that was required I wrote all.
Stack push ups, I thought I was not going to do as many as I did, I was impressed. Banana rolls were fun, mental note I need to moves things around in my room, I need more space LOL. Squat run I did not know how this was being counted, all I know is we were doing it for 1min, I did not use weights, as all I have is 20s. Sphinx Push ups, damn, at first I thought I was not going to even do 1, but I was impressed that I did 4 without knees so I put my knees down and worked 12 more, that was an interesting exercise. Bow to boat, uhm I had a hard time at first trying to get into bow, I had not accomplished this during yoga either but the 3rd time I was turned on my belly I seemed to have managed to grab my legs, could not get up but I grabbed, and same thing on the last few, I was happy that I managed to grab my legs LOL.
To not make this to long, I will comment on a couple of others. Prison Cell Push ups, I was happy I did 6, and this is not 6 push ups for those that don’t know, 1 rep equals, 1 push up, left knee in 1 push up right knee in, 1 push up, jump the feet to the hands and stand up, that is 1 rep LOL, I felt pretty good that I did 6.
Lunge-Kickback-Curl-Press, I need lighter weights, I did not try the 20s with this I figured I was going to kill myself, especially with already a bad calve, so I did them with out weights, but I tensed my muscles like if I had weights and man by the time I was half way done, it was already killing my shoulders, so that worked. Dreya Roll, this made me laugh, I had a hard time getting back to me feet every time, but I did everything I could to get back up and I kept getting stuck, the very first one, I tried to do it exactly like she was doing it and when I propelled my body upwards I was not straight, and I went backwards and landed square on my back and I started cracking up LOL but I kept going, did 6 of them. The last thing I will say is the Plank to Chaturanga, I did not think I would hold the 10sec in Chaturanga I did my best and was able to do it twice and 3 times at plank for a total of 50sec.
All in all, even though I hurt myself I am quite happy with the results. Tomorrow I have Kenpo X, fun fun, but I have to be careful with my calve, will use a little ibuprofen and keeping in mind that if I don’t feel to much pain does not mean I may not hurt it more. But I will do my best to BRING IT!!
Thank you for your time:
Mike
I did my Yoga at around 10am today, I tried my best yet again as there is so much still for improvements. I will say I always love this workout, because it always helps me with breathing, sometimes my nasal passages feel pretty narrow, and this morning they were pretty bad but after about 10min in to Yoga, they were wide open, it felt so good. 
The more I do Yoga X, the more I love it. It really makes me work hard, and of course, you have constant improvements to look forward to, and every time you manage to do something you could not do before, it makes you feel great. Not to mention the workout that your getting from it, plus balance control and stretching.
