April 24, Needed to start doing some Low Impact Lower Body work

April 24, 2019, Wednesday - Piyo: Buns + ChaLEAN Extreme - Extreme Core Circuit + Push/Pull Challenges + Shoulder Care Yoga + TCF.

I am still not ready to go back to playing tennis, but since it is Wednesday, a regular tennis day, I wanted to try to get some leg work in and start conditioning my lower body for when I do go back so it won't be such a shock when I do start up again.  I've been working a lot on my upper body and babying my lower body to protect my ankle, I figure something is going to give when I go back to tennis.  So, I'm starting to do some body weight stuff for my lower body.  I couldn't think of anything better than PiYo to take care of my legs.

PiYo Buns sounded like a good lower body routine so I went for it and boy was it ever.  My legs and butt were feeling it around the 5-minute mark.  A lot of that slow lunge and squat work is just really taxing on my legs.  I could feel the tension.  I think I'm going to feel it in the days to come.

The rest of the workout was as usual.  I was thinking not to use the 2 kg dumbbells on my abs, but I ended up using them anyway.

In the end, I burned a good 654 kcals.  It was a short workout, but the pain made it feel longer.
