Day Twelve: Moving right along.

So, was day two of level two any easier? A little, but even a little was pretty noticeable. I'm getting there and one thing I will say about level two-every day I get through it I'm pretty proud of myself. But I am sore all over again! I'm not sure how much of that is being in level two and how much of it is adding the yoga back in (which I also managed to do again today) but I imagine it's a bit of both.

 I had to soak in the bath again before yoga today as my left calf was killing me after today's shred. I am starting to wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that my left side is my weak side or if it's mainly coincidence. I may have just stepped wrong on one of the movements and pulled it a bit. It probably doesn't matter, but I am always curious with things like this because I always want to know if it's my MS making itself known. My main MS symptom since the very beginning has been that if I'm really stressed out or upset or under any kind of extreme strain (mentally or physically) really, I lose my left side. That whole side just goes numb and loses strength causing me to limp significantly. Now, for the most part, this hardly ever happens. Well, actually it happens at least a little every month because my cramps are, in fact THAT BAD. But hopefully that's about to be sorted out between all these doctor visits and the new pain pills they gave me for the interim. Outside of that though, it maybe happens once or twice a year. Still, I feel like maybe my left side is just a little bit weaker all the way around. Hopefully all this training will start making a difference with that though.

Coincidently, I probably need to be looking up better stretches to incorporate on my own before I get into the shred every day. So far, the bath has been good enough, but I might as well take all the precautions I can get. I don't want to end up really hurt and having to wait for it to heal.

What are everyone's favorite stretches? Do you always stretch on your own before working along a video and if so, for how long? I'll be asking Google as well, but I'd love to hear what your routines are!
