Week 1, Day 3, Tennis + PiYo: Strength- Define: Upper Body + Tai Cheng-Full Flow.

Week 1, Day 3, Tennis + PiYo: Strength- Define: Upper Body + Tai Cheng-Full Flow.

BUSY DAY!  Woke up and my son wanted to play tennis so I had Shakeology for breakfast, got ready and we went to play.  Conditions were very harsh, gusting wind and cold. No game, just points and drills for my son who has a tournament from the 4th of January.  For some reason, my glute started tightening up and made it hard to move.  But I push through the pain for a long as possible.  The last 20 minutes of our 2 hours, I was in some serious pain. Mobility was way down.  But I burned a good 900+ kcals.

When we got home, my daughter wanted to go to the park and do some RipStiking so I went to the park with her and ran along side her as she rode her Ripstik. She got a lot better and was cruising around. I got a good run in, about 1.5km.

Finally when I got home, I was able to do my PiYo.  Again, shorter than I had anticipated, and not quite the burn I am used to with regular "Upper Body" but I was able to work my shoulders, arms and core enough to get a bit of a sweat on.  I just have to clear my expectations and go with the program. I felt the same way when I started Tai Cheng and once I let go of expectations, the program really took off for me.

I was a bit tired, so I left off the weights today. It is not like I'm running, but in this particular program, there are only 4 routines per week so I have three off days. So I have decided to do a 2w-1o-2w-2o week for that program, and keep the 6 day week for PiYo.  It's just the beginning of a new journey so I'm still working out all the logistics of it all and meshing the programs with my schedule.  Plus since I'm on vacation, I won't be on a regular schedule for another week so I'm just getting through until vacation ends.  The only thing I'm sure of is that, barring unforeseen circumstances, I will not miss any workouts.

A lot of good exercise today! I burned over 1500kcals today!!!
