Week 2, Day 2, PiYo: Strength- Core + SPS-Full Body Strength 2+Tai Cheng- Splits Training + Full Flow.

Normal day today. First one in a long time.  Got home from work and was able to relax a bit before starting my workout.  Tomorrow is not going to be a normal day so I had to look at the schedule and do a little adjusting just in case.

Today, Define: Lower Body was scheduled, but I didn't want to do a new workout on a day where I was in a pinch for time, so I did Core today for the first time and I am glad I did.  A lot of new core moves that I had never seen before, but were killers. I forget the name of the one at the beginning where Chalene has us hinging at the core was new and really worked me out. Then the combos of all these interesting moves is a refreshing change from the regular core stuff. That close to last move is the toughest of the bunch, I'm on my knee on the side and I move my leg back, they forward, then kick out and back. Chalene said I should be able to see my foot behind me, but I couldn't see my foot for the first few reps. When I finally got to the point where I could see my foot, my core was burning, along with my glute!  Great core workout!

SPS was another tough weights routine. Again, full body. Got a great burn on my biceps and Triceps. Shoulders and traps burned out, Legs and core again. Plus some final hard cardio to kill me at the end.  My traps were rather sore today, and I discovered why, those weighted shoulder shrugs are brutal!  Nailed them today.  Short workout, only about 45 minutes, but the supersetting idea is really interesting, and it helps everything go quicker. So glad for a day off from SPS tomorrow!

I really pushed it on the splits and leg stretching. The flow is also coming along.  Tried a different approach today with the flow. Tried a minimalist approach moving with only about 40% range of motion but with full intensity.  Very interesting. I was able to focus on weight distribution and balance.  With the wider stances, I don't usually focus on those things.

My body is ready for sleep tonight, for sure!
