Wk 4, D2. T25-Alpha: Total Body Circuit+ Tai Cheng: Neural Reboot P2 + Single Whip.

Typhoon day! But thankfully it passes without incident. More game and movie time with my kids. Again, not really motivated to workout, but the opportunity knocked and I had no excuse or reason not to workout, so I did.

I really wanted to get Straight 25 for this particular routine so I determined to get through it without taking any breaks. Although I can't say that I nailed it, I can say that I did get all the way through without taking any breaks. But I feel a bit sheepish because even though I technically didn't take any breaks, at times, I slowed way down, without breaking form. That happened mainly in the Burn Out. I made it all the way through the main workout and I actually had some energy left to go right into the burn out, but after doing 18 oblique push ups and going right into shoulder tap push ups in the burn out. That was almost too much. That is when I slowed my pace down some. Well, somehow, I muddled through. I feel good about it, because I broke through, not with a bang, but with a bloop. Now to build on that performance. Hopefully, I can NAIL IT before I finish Alpha Phase.

Single Whip is an awesome move. It is a little complicated as it is a compound move. I need a little more practice with it to make sure of my hand positions and stance. But this move has the big looping hand movement that is so characteristic of the old Kung Fu movies I used to watch where the monks would do their forms just before putting the beat down on some bandits. AWESOME!!!

Hope everyone had a great Columbus Day!
