Minor schedule change today. The schedule calls for Triometrics today, then Total Synergistics tomorrow. But since I won't be able to do TS tomorrow, I'm doing it today, and then I will do TRIo tomorrow.
Today started off well enough. Got a good eight hours of sleep, had the morning off, so in the morning, I went out to brave the heat and the jungle that is my yard. The constant rain for almost that last month really made the weeds and grass grow extremely tall in a short period of time. I normally would have cut it down before it got this tall, but couldn't. Close to 4 hours in the hot sun. Once I start something, I go at it till it's done. I paid for it today. (Skip to the evening) My back got burned and my whole body feels like it's a few degrees hotter than normal. Plus, I got heat rash on top of that. ZOWEE!! A double whammy!
Anyway, I took a little break and had a very refreshing Shakeology for
lunch. Then I did my workout. My grip strength was severely diminished
because I was holding a weed-whacker for much of the time. I started to
also get blisters on my hands. But luckily there are only two sets of
pull ups and not much weight work so I was able to push through.
Rep count doesn't really have the opportunity to increase in this workout but with the few moves that can, there was a difference from the last time I did the workout. 4. Flip Flop Crunch went down from 16 to 12 because I was trying to hold the crunch longer. 6. Releve-Plie, Weighted got a +2 to 32. I tried to keep my pace as steady as possible. My legs were dying afterwards. I had 20kgs. 11. Glamour Hammer, with 12kgs in both hands, I would usually get 12 reps on my right leg, then only 10 on my left leg. This is the first time for me to get 12 reps on both my right and left legs. 13. Flying Warrior, I upped my weights to 6.25kgs from 5 kgs. I was still able to do it, but the last two reps were slower than Tony and the team. I struggled a little to keep my balance on my left side. Finally, move 14. Squat Rockers, my highest rep count yet for this move. I got 12. I was dying after 12 and had to come out of the stance with about 12 seconds remaining. I was going to try to do more, but too much ouchiness for me today. All the other moves remained the same.
I felt it was a good workout considering the extra stuff I did earlier in the day. I really wonder how many calories I burned during my yard work. During my P90X3 workout, I burned over 800kcals. Definitely a carry over from the yard work. Average is about 100kcals less.
