W7D3, PiYo: Core + SPS P2 Weights 2 + Tai Cheng Flow + Splits.

W7D3, PiYo: Core + SPS P2 Weights 2 + Tai Cheng Flow + Splits.
Uh-oh, my workouts are getting longer again with three programs at the same time, and my family is noticing. Only one and a half weeks left, then I'll be finished with at least one of the programs. Then I'll get the time back down to near an hour, not like the over 2 hour workouts that have been happening recently.
I really tried to flex during each move and really feel my core today, not just going through the... motions. I also got through the whole routine non-stop. But I did Child's Pose whenever I could. My wrist had some issues especially with the Side Plank move and the PiYo Tuck section. But got through it without too much discomfort. Felt a lot stronger with the sit ups, and didn't wimp out in the second round. Was able to keep coming up slowly without jerking up. Getting stronger!
Back and biceps today. BURN BURN BURN!!! Hit failure almost every set. Really blew it out of the barn today. Got really pumped and felt good. I was considering skipping the ab moves because I had already done Core with Chalene, but NO! Nailed those ab moves as well.
I'm able to get down faster to my mark now. That is progress. I need to keep remembering to breath and relax. I feel my muscles are still tensing up when I go down. I'll get there.
The flow was really smooth today. Consciously focused on tucking my hips today and it was good. Very slow and smooth. My fast flow record is 38 seconds. My slow flow record is 120 seconds. I was also testing myself with the Dr. Cheng litmus test. I had forgotten how far I need to go back on my leg to pass that test. Thank goodness for the slow flow!
In the end, I burned just over 920kcals. Great workout today, but I need to shorten them up a bit.
