Today was a weird day. I woke up later than planned so I only had time for half my workout in the morning. I did the second half in the afternoon between classes. That is something I really don't like to do but will do when the circumstances requires it.
In the morning, I was stiff and it took me a good amount of time to wake up my brain and body. I did SWEAT! My upper body was still a bit sore from previous days so I had a bit of a hard time keeping up with Chalene's warm up pace. Once I got warmed up, I was nailing it. I was doing really good, but once I got to the PiYo Push Up section, my arms and shoulders were barking. I pushed through without taking any extra child poses, but was very thankful when they came.
I started my afternoon workout as soon as I got home. I only had about two hours to get everything done.
Today's SPS was the shorter functional cardio so I was able to finish it in about 20 minutes. But I sweat just as much as the morning. 10 rounds of supersetted high knees, in and outs, and reverse crunches. All pretty normal moves, but I discovered I was doing reverse crunches wrongly. I wasn't pointing my toes and tapping them on the flor. I also wasn't keeping contact between my calves and hamstrings. Using that form made reverse crunches so much more effective. I'm learning a lot of small details from SPS.
I accidentally did splits first again. I took time to stretch out before dropping down into the splits. Long story short, I held the splits for the longest time this far. I also got the lowest thus far. But getting out of the splits also took longer than it has taken this far. I should probably hold this distance for a while until I get used to it, Or should I keep pushing every time? Making slow progress.
The flow was good today. I am trying to balance my stances so each step is the same distance and width. I was very happy with today's flow because there were no big brain farts. A couple missed pointed toes, but I am aware of my mistakes and am ready to keep improving.
A bit unorthodox, but got a good sweat and burn today.
