Wk 14, D5. T25-Gamma: Extreme Circuit + Tai Cheng: NR4 + Full Flow.
I was really busy today, but not with "Xmasy" stuff. Kids still had school so I was cleaning and doing house stuff to prepare for New Years. No Spring cleaning here, it's year end cleaning here! So I didn't get around to doing my workout until mid-afternoon.
I really wanted to NAIL this workout since it is the last strength of the program, however it was not to be. I totally blasted through the first three circuits in good form, but I was spent by the fourth circuit and I had to take some mid-set breaks and take a few extra seconds during transitions between moves. But this is one routine that will make it into my future hybrid so I'll definitely see it again. I hope I can say that "I NAILED IT!!!" soon.
Splits were pushed hard, and I feel as though I made some progress today and I went a bit lower today than I did yesterday. I was very happy, but with groans and moans and heavy breathing from the pain of the splits. One good thing is that I was able to get right to my mark from the outset, then I pushed it. It took a little doing, but I got there quicker than I have before. Baby steps!
The flow was good, and I was going with Dr. Cheng's pace today. Felt good, then suddenly brain farts started to creep in and I was confusing moves and making wrong transitions. I was like, "WHAT IS GOING ON???" So I just stopped, closed my eyes and focused on visualizing the flow. I started off slowly, but I was able to get back to pace and perform the flow well. That was weird, but I got through it somehow.
Merry Christmas, Everyone! May you all emulate the reason for the season!
