Yoga XT is the fourth workout in the Tapout XT series. It is the only one so far that was lower impact. Be ready for plank after plank after plank. Unlike the yoga found in the P90X series this video is doable if you have the wrist strength. There weren't any crazy yoga poses just lots of repetition of the same poses that would be found at an intermediate yoga class. If you already have good upper body strength than you should do ok with this one. For me it was a challenge. I am recovering from a broken foot and my workout partner has broken their wrist several times so this video was a challenge for us. We stuck with it as long as we could but our bodies couldn't take the plank, sun salutation, and downward dog repetitions. We had to wave the white flag half way through, but we didn't want to not do a workout, so we popped in the ab ripper video, did some Shotokan katas, and then took a walk.
I kept up with the meal plan eating 2 scramble eggs and 3 turkey sausage links for breakfast, grilled eggplant, onions, and bell peppers with grilled tilapia for lunch, some broccoli soup for a snack, and grilled turkey burgers cut with zuccini, minus the bun, with some black bean salad for dinner. As always I stayed hydrated with plenty of water.

The yoga's a really good stretch and strain. You feel soooo good the day after. :) You can tell it's not oen of Mike's strengths, but he did for us what he can with it. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
