11-30-16 HY: P90X2 - X2 Mobility & Recovery + Splits + TCF.

Ahhh, Mid-Week Recovery.  It has been a few weeks since I've needed a MWR but this week is back to normal so I went with it. 

I was thinking to double the Foam Rolling, but as I was doing it, I realized that not all my areas needed the same amount of rolling.  My right calf had a hot spot at almost every spot along the back of my calf, but the muscle on the outside of the shin muscle was relatively hot spot free.  My hamstrings had almost no HS but the IT Band had some issues near the knee and near the glute.  My left calf had much fewer HS's but the Shin area needed some extra time on the roller.  Upper body, Left Triceps and shoulder had much bigger issues than the right, so I took some extra time rolling that side out.  I had to take a quick break between rolling out my right side and left side to move my car, and as I was going outside, I felt extremely loose on my right side, and stiff on my left.  I had never had the sensation before, but it was really... ODD!  I was like a weird version of being unbalanced.  But at the end, I felt a lot better.  I need to take more time to roll out more regularly, not just on my MWR days.

Splits and Flow came in the evening after work.  Had a good session, and added some time.  I pushed on the Kosak and the hip flexors more, so I think I'm making progress.  Time to speed things up.

In the end, a modest 286kcal burned.  But the feeling was AWESOME!!!
