Interesting day. Had to wake up early to take my daughter to her soccer game. Then my wife and I went to the game as well a little later. Unfortunately her team lost in a PK. But it was fun to watch her running around with her buddies. When we got home I was really tired for some reason. Not doing anything is very tiring. So I took a nap. When I woke up we had a treat waiting. We got ice cream because it was the 31st yesterday. So we all enjoyed that. Then I when and did my workout. Had to torch all those calories.
Drench is a killer! I made it though almost 30 minutes but the Beast
section burned me out. The good thing is that I blasted all the way
through to the end of the section. There is only about 36 seconds of the
fast reps but it was really tough and by that time, yes, I was
drenched! I had really tried to push for good form on the Flow and go
non stop through the Stretch and Strength section. Overall a great
workout.
I nailed each move with SPS today. This routine left me very sore for about 3 days last week, so I left the weights the same as last week, but I was able to get though all the moves a bit easier than last week and with fewer mid-set breaks. It was a great workout. Totally got an awesome Pump and burn.
I got back to the mark today. It was tough coming back after a day off. I am considering not taking a day off from the splits so I can keep it going. I also changed my style, Instead of holding the splits for long periods of time, I will now hold for only about forty five seconds to a minute, then change positions. I made this change because of some advice I got from a friend who used to be a gymnast and is now training in multiple martial arts.
My flow was rather rough in the beginning. Lost my balance because I was doing a lot of over stepping and was just being out of control overall. Also probably due to being a bit lose from the splits training. But once I got hold of my pace, I nailed several, about a dozen, fast sub-40 second flows on both sides. This week has not specific focus, but just to iron out flaws overall. Also, I just like to do the flow so it makes my workout more enjoyable.
I also did some breathing exercises to control my heartrate. I wanted to test the difference of breathing into my diaphragm and into my chest. There is a huge difference. When I do the diaphragm breathing, I can reduce my heart rate rather quickly. But it takes a lot longer when I breath and raise my chest cavity. Dr. Cheng was right, breathing into my stomach is a more effective way of breathing.
In the end, when all was said and done, I burned over 1400kcals. Way more than needed to compensate for the ice cream. But, yes, I don't do that often. But I totally blasted into this week. Come and join me!
