Week 2, Day 4. T25-Alpha: Cardio + Tai Cheng: Neural Reboot P1 + Lift & Lower - Phoenix Tail Combo.

I have coined a phrase that is going to be my rallying cry for the duration of my doing T25. The phrase is "Straight 25".  Not very original, but I like it because is expresses my desire to get through each routine in the T25 program without any break. I strive to do the 25 minutes STRAIGHT, no breaks.

Today, was the first ever, after a week and a half of a Straight 25 routine. I totally nailed it. The amazing this it that I forgot my knee brace and almost stopped to get it, but I thought, "Nope, I've started already, No stopping." My knee wasn't feeling gimpy at all. It felt strong all throughout the routine.  There were two points at which I almost stopped, but pushed through, In the middle of the second burnout while doing the last agility move. My arches were just dying! Let me just say that I love how fast that progress bar moves. The next move was the low kicks! Love IT! That move was great because I could shake it out as well as kick. The second point was at the 2 minute mark, just before the "Building the power move." Again, my arches were aching, but with only 2 minutes left, there was no way I was stopping so I just booted that thought from my mind. STRAIGHT 25 BABY!!! The first time EVER for me. Woo Hoo!!! I was stoked!!

Today's Tai Cheng combo is a repeat of Sunday's combo.  I had forgotten it, so I was happy I could go over it again. I have to make a concerted effort to remember these moves and combos. Dr. Cheng doesn't tell us to do that, but I need to get my head into the game as well. So I'm planning to try visualizing the combo move throughout the day, reminding myself of the cues.

At the end, I burned over 600kcals in today's workout. Great day's work.
