W8D5, PiYo: Sculpt + SPS P2 Functional Cardio + Splits + Tai Cheng Flow.
I can't believe I'm almost done with the program. It has been such an awesome experience and almost all the routines will be added to my hybrid.
Today I had a choice between Sculpt and Full Body Blast. I chose sculpt because of the numbers. I had already done FBB three times this month and Sculpt only twice so to even it out, I chose Sculpt. Chalene must have something against my legs because she kills ...them everytime. The interesting thing is that she really does take it to the last rep before failure before relief. What an uncanny ability. This being a shorter routine, I didn't give any extra break time to myself, I blasted through the routine and came out better on the other side. But I definitely needed each and every Child's Pose she let us have, especially after the slow tricep push ups and the dips. Chalene made the comment, "Jimmy is doing the more advanced version..." referring to the hip raises. Jimmy did them with his heels on the floor and the ladies put their feet on chairs. Every previous time, I went with the "more advanced" version, but today, I decided to try the easier chair version. Easier MY FOOT!!! NO WAY is the floor version easier. The chair version is so much harder on my hamstrings it wasn't even funny! With every raise I felt on the verge of a hamstring cramp it was soooo tough. Doing the "Harder version" I always wondered why it was so easy, but now I know, I was doing the easier version. Next time, and there will be a next time, I'm using the chair!

Last day for SPS phase 2. I pushed as hard as possible today and kept my between-the-set times to 45 seconds. I got such a great pump and burn today. I'm excited to see what is coming in phase 3.
The splits were awesome! I was able to get lower than ever before on all positions. And getting up time was still in the 20 second and below range. Very happy about that.
For the Flows, I did all three speeds on both sides for a total of 6 Flows. It took me over 10 minutes to get through 6 consecutive Flows with only one bobble during the left medium Flow. I discovered a few mistakes I was making during the slow Flows so I was able to correct it in the following Flows. Such a great way to end a workout.
