Cold start (just because I like to be warmed up) followed by Isometrix
Well I'm not quite sure where to start with this! Half of it was crazy hard as in I couldn't do it for even half the time and the other half was pretty easy for me
It really showed up my weaknesses - I thought my upper body lacked strength but wow this really shows it up in great neon flashing lights
There's a upper body balance move on the floor move followed by a leg balance move - i.e. get into plank position and lift 1 arm up and stay there for 45 secs
now standing leg extension and yeah stay there for 45 secs (this wasn't so bad as we did some of these in P90X) - now repeat on the other sides!Now get into plank and raise the arm like before and now raise the opposite leg
and stay there for 45 secs etc etc.Another was single arm sphinx ..for 45 secs! - Side arm balance for 45 secs (this was my best upper body one I lasted about 25-30 secs I think)c etc.
I won't list them all but basically most of the stuff that involved my upper body I just could not do for 45 seconds
Later on you do Warrior 3 - I could do that for 45 secs:) , and we did Tree for 45 secs - I can do that even Ted's version looking up
that was a walk in the park for me for some reason! But we have had lots of practice from X yoga so not really a surprise 
Looking forward to mastering all the hard stuff in this workout
We did crane/crow at the end for a few secs and then that was it done! Now crane has always been one of those I've kind of played at knowing I couldn't really do it but I tried for a few minutes after the workout was done and OMG I actually got my toes of the floor for about a sec or so.
Seems silly to celebrate a second but I was really amazed how I am beginning to feel like I can, with more practice and strength, actually manage crane. All that balance work had done something for me already and I felt more solid in the position so wahoo! progress is still progress
