W7D6, PiYo: Full Body Blast + SPS P2 Functional Cardio + Tai Cheng Flow.
Today, again, big time crunch. My Sabbath starts at sunset and I got home an hour and 30 minutes before sunset. So the race was on.
Luckily, today's routine was a short and fast one. I sweat just as much today as I do on "Sweat" and "Drench" So I was happy. Like Drench, the sections are short and fast but intense. The lower body section was killer, but I pushed through. Instead of thinking about the... pain in my butt, I was thinking about doing it non-stop so I could finish on time. Interesting strategy. I was able to also get past my nemesis move, the first two tricep push ups with the opening of the legs. I usually die there and take a breather, but today, no way! I pushed through to the Child's pose given me by Chalene, Thank Goodness it was right after the second push up. I don't think I could have done a whole set of four. Great workout!

Functional Cardio is also, thankfully, short. But not short enough with the recommended rest times. Mike says 90 second rest between cycles, and I'm supposed to do ten cycles. So I had to cut that in half in order to fit in everything before sunset. Here is the eventual total of the five moves. 75 Super Burpees, 230 Step-Up Lunges, 245 180degree Jump Squats, 250 Side-to-Side jumps, 70 Low-toHigh planks. That is doing all five moves 20 seconds each non-stop 10 times through. But as I said, instead of 90 seconds between sets/cycles, I took only 45 second breaks. Even though the workout was 7.5 minutes shorter, I burned more kcals than usual, also, that gave me just enough time to get in my Tai Cheng.
I did a series of Flows and I am trying to keep a consistant pace. It went very well and I only lost balance once. But, the bad thing is that I wasn't really focused on the flow because I was thinking too much about time. But ultimately I was happy with the flow.
In the end, I burned over 930kcals to finish off the week. REST DAY!!!
