7-24-15 HY: PiYo-Core + Splits + TCF.
Final morning workout of the week... Final workout of the week!
Finally got to do some abs work today, and boy was it work. Since it is a short routine, I really wanted to push the intensity, so I held all the poses I could, and flexed the core as tightly as I could. It was really intense and several times, I almost over-flexed to the point of cramping so I quickly backed off. Thank goodness for the Child Pose breaks Chalene puts into ...the routine. The most killer move today was the lateral leg sweep in elbow plank. For some reason, that just killed me. I was groaning and grunting all through that move. And yes, I almost cramped. And that move just before the sweep series where one knee is down. I want to do that move off my knee, but I keep forgetting to do it from the beginning because Steve, a part of Chalene's crew does it first on his knee, then goes off the knee on the other side. I'm a huge balance advocate so I won't do one side and not the other, or not one side then do the other. So I need to remember to get off my knee from the beginning. Next time. Abs maintained a good tight flex for a while after the routine ended. YEAH!

Again, splits and Flow were on point. I'm very happy with my production. But I still need to push harder on the splits to keep the progress going lower.
Very happy to make it to the weekend. With all the weird weather and high and low pressure systems moving in and out of the area, my body is feeling off. My concentration and focus is also a bit off. I just feel off for the past few days. The headache I had a few days ago was just part of it. I'm not the only one either. Several of my colleagues are feeling it as well. I hope to do some major foam rolling this weekend.
On a positive note, my shoulder is feeling a lot better! Range of motion is better, but there are still some angles that cause a bit of a mild discomfort, but not the sharp pain as before. Almost there!
