Let me say that I am a bit surprised that I don't recall anything in this group about this particular routine. THIS ROUTING WAS AMAZING!!! I had been wondering when the Power Slides were going to come into play and they came out in an incredible way. For me, those Power Slides are probably the most simple and yet revolutionary fitness tool I have. Who knew that they were so amazing! Before today, I had only slid around on them a bit and my daughter played with them a bit. Long story short, I was totally dying using them. I only made it through about half the moves without needing a break. The first lunge series... OUCH!!! I was just barely keeping up with the four count, but when the two count came, NO WAY! I needed a break before going into it. I also needed a break before the 4-count bowlers and the 2-count bowlers on both sides. The plank to tuck was another KILLER move. My core has never been so tasked in any workout thus far. The intensity necessary both in and out is incredible. Definitely a LOVE/HATE relationship with these things. Also, with the simple oblique move she did, I felt like my obliques have never been so worked over... EVER! And that is even more than the side pikes in Ab Ripper X. It felt like a total oblique workout. And I was spent after that small number of reps. INCREDIBLE!!! The Slides are my new favorite fitness tool... among all my other favorites.
This is the final day for Form Focus on the Flow. Staying focused
through out the whole entire flow, I 100% nailed the flow on both sides.
Zero detectable mistakes. There were a few adjustments I had to make
because of my limited space, but I felt perfect! And it felt GOOD! I'm
sure that Dr. Cheng would find several flaws, but until I can do it in
front of him or another Tai Chi Master, I'm satisfied and at peace.
Now, I was so happy that I tried to pick up the speed and really move.
The first time through I lost my balance a few times, but kept it
together. The second time, I focused on balance. I believe balance will
be on line for next weeks flow focus.
Okay, Today, I really nailed my splits. I went down further than any other time thus far. I got down a whole inch further than yesterday. I've almost draws even with my marks. Once I draw even with my feet marks, that means I will have opened up by 3.5 inches since December, when Tai Cheng started working on splits in Neural Reboot 4. If I can keep that pace, I should be to full splits by the middle of September! Encouraging results today! I asked yesterday if I should hold or push on the splits. I think my body just answered that question. PUSH!!!
No SPS today, but I am going to workout tomorrow because of my Sunday Schedule. I have to work on Sunday and its going to be a long tough day. But I'm so happy for today's successes and pain! Hello Weekend!!! I'M HERE!!!
