W3D4, PiYo: Strength Intervals  + SPS: Weights 2 + Splits + Tai Cheng-Full Flow.

Regular Wednesday. Did my workout as soon as I got home.

To be honest, when I saw how long the routine was, I was a little doubtful as to how good a "strength" workout it would be.  Boy, was I wrong! The progressions are short, but they seem a lot longer than they are because you're holding position or adding on to a circuit non-stop.  I couldn't even make it to the end without coming out of position during the last progression.  It was really tough and humbling.  This is one of the shortest routines yet, but I burned many more kcals than the other routines of the same length.  Got an awesome burn.

Somehow I paused my heart rate monitor and didn't notice it until about half way through my SPS weights 2 routine. I was not happy.  If I forget to activate my HRM at the beginning of a workout, I would start the workout again, but the moves were really tough so I just reactivated it in the middle. I estimate I lost record of about 150-200kcals when referencing previous workouts.  But I got a really good burn on the moves today. I am happy that I still have the strength to do pull ups, at least a set of 12. Getting a really good total body burn with these weights routines.

I tried splits training first today, before the flow.  Probably won't do that order again. I think I lost a little balance and I didn't feel totally centered, perhaps do to the strain on my thighs.  I felt a little off during the flow.  But I did get lower today than in the past.  But I'm going to have to do the splits on a more slippery place because my mat is starting to prevent me from inching out.

Over all a good session today. Got right up to failure a lot of times. Pushed myself to the limit and tried to keep form. Trying to stay safe.
