Insanity: Max 30 Journey Day 7 - Rest

During the course of two months, I'd like to take you into my journey as I strive to retain a healthy lifestyle through a healthy balanced nutrition program and Beachbody trainer extraordinaire -- and Men's Health cover man -- Shaun T's brand new workout regimen Insanity Max 30.

Day 7: Rest

Sure, it's a rest day. But that doesn't mean you have to sit on the couch all day and do nothing. After a week of high-intensity workouts, followed up by a leg-burner of a recovery day, I needed a good stretch to get that tightness out, and open myself up for improving.

It didn't take long for me to know I need some yoga -- give me some mental and physical balance to close out the week and get me focused for week two of the Max 30 Journey I'm on.

Anyone that knows me personally knows I am an avid Tony Horton fan -- I own all his workout DVDs -- and believe he has some of the best Beachbody-developing workouts. I love the X3 Yoga workout from P90X3, so I chose to bang that 30-minute workout on my day off.

X3 Yoga, if you aren't familiar, has extreme yoga (stretching you out to the max), followed by balance and focused stretches on hamstrings, quads, butt and more to close out. Of course, after 30 minutes of it, my favorite move is corpse pose.

I don't have much to add, other than I feel completely rejuvenated and ready to conquer week two. Next up: Cardio Challenge.
