6-4-15 HY: P90X3-X3 Yoga + ChaLEAN Extreme-Ab Burner + Splits + TCF + Tennis.
I was not as sore the next day with Eccentric Upper as I was with Lower, but I could feel some tightness and discomfort. My lower body was still a bit stiff. I had already planned to do yoga today so I went with it. I did my regular thing, but I was a bit too relaxed and let time slip away from me. I was actually planning to P90X-Yoga, the LONG one, but I ended up only doing X3 Yoga, but I added everything else.

Today's Yoga held another first. I did it totally barefoot! My first time EVER. Last week, I did it with socks. It was a totally different feel making real contact with the ground. I feel as though I was able to keep my balance a little better, and on my nemesis move, Extended Leg with Toe Bind, I held the balance a little better. I actually held my toe for part of the time. Not as tough as I though it would be. But It got tough and I ended up holding my toes with the ball of my foot. I may do it barefoot every time from here on out. I did feel quite a bit of soreness in my lats, so I was worried about even attempting the wrap. When it came, I went down and was barely able to grab my finger tips on both sides. But I wasn't able to get as square as I usually would. I was happy that I didn't cramp up in my shoulders. Felt good in the end.
I went right into the ab workout and used a 10kg weight for the weighted moves. Got an the burn I was going for. I kept to the 30 seconds per stretch time today. No extra stretch. Got some good Flows in as well. By the end of the workout, I had burned about 270kcals. Not bad for yoga day.
But I knew I'd burn more after work. No night classes today, so my son wanted to play tennis. So, on my way home from work, I went straight to the tennis courts and met him there. I regret forgetting my knee brace. It is still feeling a bit gimpy so I had to baby it some today. Timing was off a bit to start, but got into it and both of us had a lot of highlight reel shots. My right upper back and lat were really feeling sore, but with about 20 minutes left, it felt, with a particularly hard hit, that I strained the muscle. With every forehand till the end, I had pain. But I didn't want to let up. No, I couldn't let up. Near the end, the pain got a little weaker, but I guess that that was because of the adrenalin. Because of the pain, I had to adjust my play style and hit with a more compact swing, and also run around to my back hand more. We had a great time. No scoring today, just all out hitting and going for shots. That type of "no abandon" play is much more intense. Just jungle tennis, no pressure. In the end, I totally torched over 800kcals. I was happy that the day's total was over 1000kcals.
Beautiful weather today as well, after the all day torrential rains we had yesterday. GREAT DAY!!!
