Today was a bit of a disappointment. I was scheduled to do Beast Cardio, but my son suggested we play tennis so we were all set to go and play tennis, but on our way to the court, it started raining. Only a little at first, we thought we could play through it, but it steadily got harder and harder.  We ended up turning around and coming back home. So I got it on with my regularly scheduled workout.

This routine still intimidates me.  I had a really tough time the first time, so I was interested to see how far I could get without taking extra breaks.  I actually did pretty well, and got through about half before needing to extend the break.  But near the end, the couple moves before the last, I needed some extra time to catch my breath.  That last move, 3 rounds of 4 spider crunches, 4 cross plank crunches, then 20 second sprint, energized me just enough for a strong finish.  Killer workout.

Went right into the Beast Ab routine.  I don't know what I did differently from the previous time, but it was much more tasking.  Felt a good burn. 

I wanted to stay on track with 0-6 Abs so I also did that program's routine.  Got a good burn at the end, but I was able to stand quicker than I did previously.  I felt a little off of the form because I was already tired from the first ab routine.  I wasn't able to hold the core contraction as tight as I needed.

The Splits and Flow were good.  I'm trying to find new ways to push lower on the splits.  The most difficult on the side splits are the front hip flexers are still not as flexible as they need to be.  I can lean forward, but putting my body upright is very difficult.  Then my inner thighs need to loosen up a lot more than they are.  The Flow was smooth and clean.

In the end, I torched a solid 730kcals.  Not bad for a shorter workout.
