Week 1, Day 2, PiYo: Strength- Define: Lower Body + Tai Cheng-Full Flow + Weight lifting.
Today was a LAZY LAZY day. I really didn't do anything today until my workout so today, I was depending on my workout to get my butt moving, and it did!
I'm still using other programs as reference points, so when I see, Lower Body, I think, weighted squats, lunges, etc. But this wasn't that bad. I was a little surprised that it was only 20 minutes. I feel the benefits of Tai Cheng because my hip flexor range was a lot bigger then I remember it being with yoga moves. But I had to push hard all the same. I'm still really weak with the down-dog splits. I can only get my leg parallel with the floor. Not like the team on the program. I pushed so hard my glute almost cramped several times but I quickly backed off just in time. Calorie burn was rather low, only 106kcals.
I went right into the full body weightlifting for about 30 minutes. The program is still Mike Chang's Sixpack Abs Shortcut program. It was a good, really good burn.
Before the Tai Cheng flow, I stretched out. Taking out the middle part of the Neural Reboot 4 starting from the Slow Knee Bends to the Sitting Hamstring stretch. Yes, I got the splits and I extended the time by three. I was able to hit my low mark quickly and wiggle down a bit further. The flow was also very good today. But instead of going for speed, I went for form and breath. I went a lot slower than previous days to solidify the moves more in my head.
Great workout today.
