Is it "gay" if you do Yoga without your wife? I hope not (but not that there's anything wrong with that). Yoga is a beast of a workout. You could be the most cocky, ripped dude in the gym, but if you don't do advanced stretching routines then Yoga will make minced meat out of you.

And if it does make you gay, then consider me flaming. Yoga is the bomb.

I know this is an old thread, but I figured I'd resurrect it and see who's still at it.  Currently on day 5 and Yoga kicked my butt last night.  My wife asked to join me.  By the end of it she said, "Uhm, that's not beginner's yoga.  That guy is nuts!" LOL.

Happy to say soreness from day 1 is already fading and I actually felt pretty good stepping off the elliptical this morning.  Skipped two of my three range sessions this week so looking forward to walking 18 as my cardio tomorrow.

You're both right.  Flexibility is lost temporarily until the muscle heals.  Then when it heals, the muscle fiber's 'cast' system for repair is disolved and flexibility is regained.  If you work out all the time without letting yourself fully recover, you will not be as flexible.  If you workout and let yourself recover fully, you will be fine.

That's always been one of the critiques from yoga buffs about P90x. The yoga disc contains some moves that might take an average person more than a year to master, not something that someone new to yoga should attempt. The best advice is to not force your body to do more than it currently can. Go to your limit, no matter how puny it may feel. You will naturally progress further in time. Don't let the routine intimidate you into injury.

Just completed week 1 of Insanity.  Similar to P90X, but without the weights and props.  Feeling good and motivated to complete the full cycle.  Absolutely certain it will help my game.

Week 6 now.  Yoga has become one of my fav workouts of the week.  Plyo still kicks my butt every week, but hey, it's definitely working.  The first 3 weeks I did cardio in the morning 5 days a week on top of p90x in the afternoon.  For this second phase I toned back to 3-4 days of cardio with p90x in the afternoon.

Workout I hate the most?  Legs and back.  After a long week of plyo, cardio, etc, legs feel like mush by the end of the workout.  Then again, I'm seeing huge strength and stamina gains in my legs.

    • It's not. 🤣 It's over 90 seconds into a 5-minute video before they say anything about physics, and when they do, they talk about mastering the double pendulum with a definition that includes gravity or something. Here, @GreenhornGolfer and others: https://amzn.to/3IHnf0N. Buy that.
    • Barring a disaster, this will be Scheffler's fourth major and only missing the US Open for a career slam.
    • Have slowly been working on hooding my long irons less. Using a much more neutral grip and a feel of swinging above the waist. This was the 2nd swing today. A clean clip with a 4-iron with what seems like an okay centered pivot and decent balanced finish.
    • Nobody is getting close and Scottie is not letting them. BDC could've had a shot without that awful Thursday. He shot 16 under on the last three days.
