8-03-16 HY: P90X2 - Recovery and Mobility + Splits + TCF.

Mid-Week Recovery! Today, I had the time, so I took the time to really "ROLL OUT".  The routine starts out with sort of a warm up, balance, find-a-baseline type of feel to it, then gets into 20 minutes of Foam Rolling.  Then it does the same moves as a check to see if there are any noticeable affects on my body.  To tell you the truth, I usually don't feel much, if any difference between the first and second times.  I feel good after the rolling, but no actual differences in my performance.  Today, however, having time as I said, I more than doubled the Foam Rolling time and really sat on the hot spots.  And when the second time came, I had better range of motion, and a lot better on my balance for the Twisting Step-Back Lunges.  I felt really stable on those, but I lost a little balance on the Balance Reverse Toe Touches on my left side.  I had to tap down twice.  But really felt a lot better and there was a noticeable improvement in performance.  Guess I need to put more time into the Foam Rolling and do it more regularly.

I was going to do a full workout in the morning, but decided that I had a great time with Tony and I'd keep the Splits and Flow for the evening.  So today ended up being a double stretch day.  Need more of those, too.  So, in the evening after work, I banged out the Splits and Flow.  Splits were painful and low, and Flow was on point.  Just a little hard because of my right knee, but not anything that hurt the fluidity of the Flow itself.

In the end of the morning session, I burned a nice little 247kcals.  But I sweat like CRAZY!
