98 MINUTES OF YOGA?!?!

I was seriously worried about this one because almost 100 minutes of yoga didn’t sound appealing, BUT I’m in this for the long haul and decided I better trust Tony!

All in all, it really wasn’t that bad! In fact, my muscles were so limber and stretched afterwards that it really helped me with the soreness I was feeling from the days before. It’s definitely going to take some work to get the crane and to really dig into the other poses, but I’m really proud of myself. So for anyone else who’s concerned about 98 minutes of yoga, here’s a little peek into the workout:

I’m actually kind of looking forward to Yoga X next week- haha!

Plyometrics was today’s workout and WOW that’s a booty kicker! I’m so glad I had TurboFire under my belt because the HIIT workouts definitely prepared me well for what was coming in Plyo. There’s a lot to be said for focusing on the fact that you can do anything at that high of an intensity for 30 seconds to a minute.

It’s the first day of P90x and while I feel like I’m cheating on Chalene with Tony Horton, I really enjoyed Chest & Back and Ab Ripper X today.  Let’s just say Results & Recovery formula is a must and my arms feel like jello! Here’s my video to document the occasion!

In honor of starting P90x today (more about that later), I made chocolate chip cookies from a recipe in Tony Horton’s new book Bring It! I thought I’d share this recipe with you guys because these are SUPER delicious!

Ingredients
2 cups spelt flour or a mixture of oat and spelt flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1 cup grain-sweetened chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 cup agave nectar or maple syrup
2/3 cup heated coconut, avocado, or grapeseed oil
3 tablespoons water or almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, walnuts (if using), chocolate chips, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and cardamom. In a medium bowl, whisk together the agave nectar or syrup, water or almond milk, and extract. Add the syrup mixture to the flour mixture and stir with wood spoon until combined. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Place the cookie dough by tablespoonfuls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Recipe is from Bring It! by Tony Horton.
