P90X2 Day 7: Rest Day!

Wow! What a week. To celebrate the end of our first week, Adam and I decided to do some foam rolling (45 minutes) and then turn on Yoga with our favorite teacher, Rodney Yee. We’ve had the AM Yoga DVD for a few months now, doing each of the five different 20-minute sequences toContinue reading “P90X2 Day 7: Rest Day!”
