7-10-15 HY: PiYo-Drench + Splits + TCF.

I read this article that my sister posted online about the best time to workout.  The article spoke about working out before eating.  I had always had a shake about 30 minutes before working out to fuel up a bit before expending all that energy, instead of working out on an empty tank, as it were.  I was thinking to try it out someday, but due to circumstances lost from my control, I was put into a situation where I needed to try it today.

I was a little wary as to what routine to do.  I was going to go with Full Body, but I was afraid that might be a bit too much for the first time working out without anything in the tank, so I changed it to Drench.  I didn't remember in content of either, but I figured I wouldn't be doing as much strength moves in Drench.  Hehe, right.  I should know better by now.  But this time, I was basically right.  Drench is a amped up yoga workout that gets the heart rate going and the sweat flowing.  At the beginning, I felt a bit light headed.  More than a bit, actually.  I was just a few moments away from stopping to get something to eat and then just moving my workout to the afternoon, but I guess my body got its second wind and the light headedness went away, so I kept on going.  I was a little scared also because this routine is almost double the amount of time of the previous PiYo routines I've done this week.  But unlike the other routines, this one seemed to go faster.  So it didn't seem as long.  I did have a few balance issues most likely connected to my empty stomach, but I held it together.  Also, I was rather bothered my the sweat dripping into my eyes and down my extremities.  I constantly had to wipe off.  Humidity levels were around 85% in my room, and close to 30C.  I was tempted to turn on the AC, but I figured I should push through. Not sure why I thought that.  But I made it through.  I was also happy that I nailed all the push ups and then some.  In the PiYo Push up, when Chalene does the leg lifts, the the tricep push up, I do a push up with each of the leg lifts as well just to get a little more intensity in there.  Great workout.

I moved quickly into the Splits and Flow.  Quite solid all the way around today.  Wasn't able to get to my mark quite a quickly as I would have liked, but I got there and passed it eventually.  The Flow had a slight bobble in the beginning, but I worked it out and ended up with a solid and fluid Flow.

In the end, I torched just under 800kcals.  Very satisfied with this this week of work.  Great way to glide into the weekend.
