W10D6, Yoga Shred Challenge, Day 2 + SPS P3 HEAVY Weights 3 + Tai Cheng Flow + Splits.

Kind of a gloomy, rainy day today, so no tennis.

For my warm up, I went back to the Yoga Shred Challenge that my sister introduced me to the other day.  Nice warm up and today's focus was on the core so 10 minutes or so of core work, SWEET!

This is the "easy" day of phase 3, but I pushed it hard today. Being very mindful of my back, I kept the weights heavy and basically failed at the last rep of the moves.  I had to really focus so as not to hold my breath to help get the dumbbells up.  The5 sets of Squat to Shoulder Press really gave me that cardio effect and the bicep curls gave me the pump and burn I was looking for. The super setted Shrugs really burned out my traps and grip strength.  For the last three sets, I could have gone more on the shrugs themselves, but my grip couldn't hold the weights for that long, had to stop.  The weighted Pyramid Squats just burned out my quads. What a great pump and burn on this last routine of SPS phase 3.

I did the ultra-slow Flow today. Just for the calming effect. I also went back to my normal splits training because of my back.  Going straight down instead of bending over is easier at this point and I still get my hip flexors good.

Great way to blast calmly into the weekend. I'll see you when you get here!
