7-29-15 HY: P90X2-Mobility and Recovery + Splits + TCF.
I feel a little better, but not yet 100%. I took the day off from work today in hopes of going out with my wife, but she also is not well, so I just stayed home today. It was beautiful weather so I decided to cut the grass. The sun was hot and I was out there for almost 3 hours. But the big thing is that it zapped all my energy. I was just exhausted after that. I took a shower, had lunch, then fell a sleep on the couch for a couple hours. I could have slept longer but I needed to get my workout done. Luckily, it was my mid-week recovery day so I was looking forward to the stretch. I was planning on doing X2 Yoga, but the yard work made a bunch of lovely blisters on my hands. I couldn't hold a long plank without a lot of blister pain, so I switched to today's routine.
It was great to roll out some of those hot spots in my legs and arms. The stretch was also really good. It help a lot with the splits afterwards.
The splits have hit another plateau. I just can't seem to go down any lower than the mark I set a couple weeks ago. When I try to push to go lower, I am afraid for my knees because my joints just aren't opening up. Now, I'm getting frustrated, and the goal looks further away than it did at the beginning of the year.
The Flow was good. Very happy with the Flow.
Even though this wasn't a cardio or resistance workout, I still wore my HRM just to see how I was doing. In the end, I burned just about 240kcals. I think it would have been over double that If I had worn the HRM while doing the yard work. Hehehe...
