6-2-15 HY: P90X3 Cold Start + Triometrics + 10 Min. Trainer-Abs + Splits + TCF.
Learning the lessons life throws your way is a vital element to maturing into a productive member of society. I learned a lesson today that I will never forget. NEVER DO ECCENTRIC LOWER and TRIOMETRICS BACK TO BACK!
When I woke up this morning my legs were really sore and tight. I tried to stretch them out as much as possible with the limited time I had in the morning before having to go to work. It is a good thing I didn't have to do a morning workout today because I would have been dying. But the day long natural stretch was very helpful. When I got home I was able to get right into my workout. But as I said, I made a near fatal decision. Right from the get go, I knew I had made a tough choice, because the first move was squats and it hit my legs and glutes where it hurt. But the good thing is that it stretched me out really quick. Also, Cold Start helped me a lot as well. I pushed through the firs 10 minutes or so without any break, but that was it. Almost every move after that, I was able to do the first two levels, but I would have to take an extra 10 second break before starting the last level. Plus all those lunges and Dupers.. Killers! I was dying! One possible factor that may have caused my lack of stamina was the 73% humidity in my room because all the rain, and the 28.8Cdegree temps. I was feeling heavier than usual. I mean I felt strong but I didn't have the endurance. Oh, also, my legs were fried to begin with. But I pushed all the way to the end. I did add about 10 minutes to the routine because of the breaks. But I will not do these two back to back again. I started to feel a little thing in my right knee. I need to be careful.
I was wondering what core workout to do because I was using the ChaLEAN Extreme routines a lot I wanted to go with something different. So I hit on Abs. Very tough with those side plank moves and other plank moves. I had to take breaks here, too. But I was able to do each move to the end. Thankfully they were only 30 seconds. Had they been one minute, probably not.
Again, the Splits were awesome and helped me cool down. I had a little problem with the Flow because of my knee. But that not withstanding, I pushed all the way.
Great workout, and in the end, I torched over 800kcals.
