Wk2D4: Splits Training + PiYo- Sweat + SPS- Functional Cardio 1 + Tai Cheng-Full Flow.

Busy work day, plus, it feels like I may have caught a bug from somewhere. I wanted to do my workout right away when I got home, but was unable to because of a visitor who stayed longer than anticipated. 

While waiting, I decided to to do my splits training, so, while watching "Star Trek: The Next Generation" I stretched out and then just lowered into my splits.  Location was different so I didn't have my mark, but the floor was a lot slipperier than my usual floor so I was able to push lower, I think, than usual. Still hurt like the dickens. But since I was preoccupied with watching one of the best shows ever, I was focused on it instead of the pain.  Held the splits for a lot longer as well. I might do that from now on.

Finally, after the visitor left, I got ready and was just about to start when my son decided that he wanted to do his workout. (I finally got him to start working out after a poor showing at his most recent tennis tournament.) He did his first workout yesterday and seemed excited to workout today. I didn't want to extinguish his fire so I let him do his workout first.  I'm with him and help him with form. He is just starting out, so he is doing the "You Are Your Own Gym" body weight program.

FINALLY, I was able to start my workout. I started to do Define: Upper Body, then thought about my schedule and stopped that routine and switched to Sweat because of time constraints with tomorrow's schedule.  My quads were really barking at the squats progression. I am very pleased that I was able to do with no problems all the push ups in the stretch and strength section. The PiYo Push Up section was a challenge, but I think I totally nailed today's routine! I sweat a TON!!!

 I jumped right into the SPS routine today. Cycling through now and I'm getting used to the system. Today was the 10 sets of 5-move Superset circuit.  The five moves were 1. Body Weight Squats with arms raised, 2. Push-Up Jacks, 3. Prone Cobras, 4. Jumping Jacks, 5. Mountain Climbers. Each move is 20 seconds each with no rest between. 60 second break between each of the 10 sets.  Quick transitions and pushing hard was my focus today. In 20 seconds, I was able to keep pace the whole time, and burned it out on the last round. Got a great burn and sweat on.

I did my regular stretching and then did the flow. I started off fine, but for some reason, about 10 minutes in I just started drawing blanks and I couldn't remember the moves, I was forgetting hand form, and foot placements. I was leaving out whole sections. I was like, "WHAT IS UP???" So I stopped, took a deep breath and slowed down really trying to focus on breath and fluidity. Then next 6 flows were awesome. Great feeling to end on perfection... from my point of view.  Probably not perfect, but until someone tells me otherwise, I go with perfect!

Keep on pushing play!!!
