W6D5, PiYo: Full Body Blast + SPS P2 Functional Cardio + Tai Cheng Flow + Splits + Tennis.
Another normal day... sort of. It started out normal.
Today is the first time I made it through the lower body section non-stop. That is a small victory for me because this routine has been kicking my butt since the first time I did it. Unfortunately I did not get all the way through it without a break, but the number of breaks was greatly reduced, only three quick breathers. I really pushed it hard today.

Second time through, 10 sets of 5 moves, Super Burpees, step up jumps, 180 degree squat jumps, side to side jumps, and low to high plank. Super setting 20 second bursts for each move. The first four rounds I took an easy pace to warm up. The last six I burned it up and went for as many reps as possible. Major calorie burn. Breathing harder and harder after every round.
I banged out 10 quick smooth flows. I lost balance only once, and miss a move only once, and required a restart only once. Feeling good this week, especially today. Jamming Good!!! Nailed the splits also, I inched down to what I believe is my lowest point to date. Plus, I got up faster than I have ever before, just under 25 seconds.
Boy, I really pushed it hard today and I was spent. I felt great, but I was spent. Then, as I was finishing my workout, my son came home and said, "Dad, let's go practice tennis." We're playing in a doubles tournament on Sunday and we have never played together or even practiced together. Doubles that is. We have played singles many times before, but we just don't have a doubles mentality. We can't find a doubles practice pair so we are going into the tournament cold. Anyway, I had fifteen minutes to change out of my soaked clothes and get into clothes that would keep me warm in sub-zero (literally) wind chill temperatures. My legs and butt were aching, but I did it. We practiced what we could to get ready for doubles but we'll see what happens. I was even more spent after the tennis.
What started off as a low key day, turned into activity central. LOVED IT!!! But I wouldn't want that to happen everyday. Burned over 1500kcals today. Will this week be the second week in a row I top 6000kcals for the week?
