After six months...

I haven't been doing any serious stretch for a while. I think the last time was at IOI for BB42, about six months back. There's a Body Balance 44 launch at The Curve on tuesday that i can attend to, so why not? Been there done that. It was a nice release.

A couple of thoughts about the release:

Tai Chi warmup is cool, beautiful movement. Sun salutation is great also. I found there's one part make me confused while in the mid of the track, which is a pose in between down dog and cobra. What is that called? Is it a new move? Or was it you (Carebear) showing us the option? Overall, it's not that challenging.

Some said standing strength is a nightmare for the legs this time. It's a long track settle in for some serious standing strength, but i didn't feel it much last night. Maybe like Carebear mentioned to me, perhaps i should go a bit deeper to feel the stretch.

Balance is not complicated to do. But there's a lot of concentration in getting into each pose and position. I can't really recall the hip opener. Is it the one with circular leg movement? And i don't think it's particularly hard at all. When i say not tough which mean it's pretty easy to others.

The core abs is short but effective. Twist and forward bend are simple and easy. Probably due to i used the option that i was using for along time by bending my extended leg slightly in order to pull myself a bit more forward. Yeah, no doubt my thigh, hip and hamstring are extremely tight.

Relaxation and meditation. Err... guess it's just alright, as i wasn't attracted to the music at all.

In a nutshell, the first half was awesome whereas the second half was spoiled. Not that the instructor's cue was out or something but the buzzing sound from the mic was really annoying. Anyway, it was still a great workout for me.

Argh! I feel the pain in my butt today. Ok, a little pain a little gain...
