It was a good day with a lot of activity. And in the end, got a huge burn.
Started off with resistance. A lot of variations of push ups, presses, lateral and side raises for shoulders, and a lot of concentrated tricep work. The funny thing is, it seems like a lot of the other moves that were targeting other muscle groups actually also hit my triceps, too. For example, right at the beginning, moves 3-5 Chair Dips, Plange Push-ups, and Pike Presses all nailed my triceps. Moves like Y-Presses, targeted my shoulders, but I came down slowly so my triceps were used a lot. An interesting thing also is that I was able to nail out 25 Side Tri-Rises with Shoulders & Arms at the end of the routine, but today near the beginning of the routine, I died at 15. I can't understand it. Also, the Clap Push-Ups near the end almost killed me. My hands always rub on the floor when coming together. Today is the first time I did it on my mat which has tiny bumps on it. Talk about BURN! That friction burn really gets HOT!!! All in all, it was a great workout.
I planned to keep the step up plan for my ab workouts. 3x a week
building in intensity. Today was step one, but today's routine is
always tough even though it is short. It always gives me a good burn,
and it is just intense enough to make me want to quit, but sort enough
to keep me going for those last few reps to make it to the end. Love
it!
Went right into the Splits and Flow. Both were good. Coming off an off day, the splits were good, but wasn't able to push lower. I did get back to my mark which will serve as my starting point for the week. From tomorrow, I'll push past the mark as far as possible. The Flow was good, and I practiced all three speeds to get into a groove. Felt good today.
In the end, I torched a solid 900+kcals. Awesome way to start off the week!!!
Then my son said, "Can we play tennis?" How can I say "no" to tennis, or my son? So, even though I was burned out, I was feeling energetic enough so I said, "Sure!" I was happy to do an upper body resistance routine today because my legs were still sore. I mean climbing stairs is better, but I still feel the pull in my inner thighs with each step. So tennis with a tired chest, shoulders, triceps and legs, not the best situation, but the splits stretch and Flow were really good so I was able to move. Timing on a lot of shots was just a bit late, but I was also able to hit some good shots. Had a great time playing and torched over 1000kcals.
What a great day!!!
