6-14-15 HY: P90X2-X2 Core + Splits + TCF.

6-14-15 HY: P90X2-X2 Core + Splits + TCF.

Today was a busy family day. Lots of chores in the morning then went out in the afternoon with my girls.  Had fun shopping with them and got home close to 7pm. Started my workout right away.

Today, I start, as my main program in my hybrid, P90X2. I'll supplement with everything else.  It has been over a year, close to 2 years since I finished the full 90 days of X2 the first time.  Had a great experience then, but I have forgotten the routines so I'm looking forward to going though them all again.  My plan today was to do the first routine plus an abs routine, but after finished this one, I wasn't able to do the abs so I didn't. X2 Core in itself is a great core workout. It caused me enough pain for one day. One of the things I really like about this program is the very thorough warm up with the foam rolling.  I also like the slower pace between the moves.  I was able to keep up the whole time, except after the Med Ball Dreya Rolls. I did 12 and was DYING at the end.  The core moves were painful as well.  I hope my balance becomes better through X2 as well.   Great workout. The sweat rolled off like crazy!

Went right into splits, but just a few minutes in, I heard my son shriek! A cockroach had gotten into his room and he wanted me to get it.  That little thing was small, about 2/3 an inch, and fast. I had a spray, but he escaped into the closet. I spent the next 20-30 minutes, moving cases and boxes out of the closet in search of the roach.  Finally got him and disposed of him.  After putting everything back, I started my splits over again. I was able to push a bit lower today, but with much pain.  I had wanted to do splits last night, but I was just too exhausted from the days events and had a huge stress release so I just relaxed.

The Flow was surprisingly fluid and solid. Felt really good all around. Not perfect, but solid.  The good thing is that I'm aware of the missed points so I can fix them. I still need to keep conscious of my stance distance.  Hopefully it will become automatic soon, but no rush. I'll just do my thing and let it come when it comes.

Great workout, and in the end, I torched a good 760+kcals.  Good start to the week!
