Trying new things

Tonight I did my first ever DDPY workout that was NOT lead by The Man himself. The person directing tonight's workout was Christina Russell. Background story in the video above.

Ok, so got home from dialysis today and took a short but intense nap. Work up feeling refreshed, and not just like I wanted to go back to sleep. I knew Marissa was going to be in bed before too long, so I started going over workouts I could do. I wanted to do something different.

And "Different" is exactly what I got. Christina's style and tone made me feel at ease and made the workout that much easier, even with engaging. The "At Ease" feeling stems from the fact that, well, Dallas intimidates me a bit. Ok, a lot. The guy is a badass in every sense of the word. I think the only man badder than DDP would probably be Sir Christopher Lee. (Look it up if you don't believe me.)

So, during the course of my planning my workout for this evening, I looked at my schedule for the last few weeks. I counted it up and I haven't taken a day off in 12 days. This is another turning point for me. I'm not skipping the days off because I want to prove anything. I'm not taking days off because I don't want to. I may not always feel better when I get off the mat (though, usually I do) but I have never felt worse after DDPY than I did before I started.

After doing 12.03.2019 LIVE W/ Christina, I must admit to being pretty excited to try out some of the other instructors. Don't get me wrong, I love DDP. But Christina was way nicer and easier on the eyes. I wonder what else this pile of 1000 workouts has in store for me...
