Week 1, Day 4. T25-Alpha: Ab Intervals + Tai Cheng: w1d4.
Not a big calorie burn day, but really taxed my abs in this one. Thank goodness for the cardio recovery! Positioning my hands next to my butt or a little forward in the leg lift progressions and V-up progressions is so tough. I may as well put my arms in the air. But it was really tough to make the transitions between moves. Shaun T moves so fast between moves. This workout also took over 31 minutes because I was rewinding to learn the moves. Some different stuff today and I had some trouble with a few of the moves. Plank to Pike progression was also really tough. I pushed through.
Alpha phase is 5 weeks long. When I saw that I was like, "What, I can jump right to the Beta phase." NO WAY! I think I'm going to need all five weeks to get ready for the Beta phase. This was tough! Glad to strengthen the old ab section, though!
Tai Cheng was great. But for some reason I just wasn't getting the move right, so I did the Tai Chi move twice. No problem, because it is only 7 minutes long. But I finally got the Pull Back move with the right hand motions and positions. Felt really good today.
Welcome to the new direction for this blog. In it, I will post my experiences and thoughts related to the sport of Pickleball and my efforts to grow Pickleball in the Prefecture of Kagoshima located in the southernmost tip of mainland Japan. I hope to post pictures and videos of the activities and events that are held in Kagoshima. And one day, hopefully, you will come and play some Pickleball with us! Please comment if you visit!
