7-31-15 HY: PiYo-Drench + Splits + TCF.

7-31-15 HY: PiYo-Drench + Splits + TCF.

Not 100% yet, but getting there.  Must be sort of a nasal thing because my nasal passages are producing too much stuff that need constant pneumatic removal.  It was planned from the beginning of the week that this particular routine would be my closer.  And perfect closer it was.

I was sore in my back and thighs.  Surprised that my chest wasn't more sore, but I'll take it.  I started the routine well, but stiff. The warm up got me loose quite quickly.  I was able to keep up with Chalene for basically the whole workout.  I say basically because I had to stop a few time in the first 10 minutes to cough and to clear my nasal passages. But once I got into the workout it all cleared up.  The first legs section was good, and I got a good burn, but it was the second leg section that almost took me out.  I got a major burn in my thigh that was just screaming for me to stop, but at that point I only had a few reps to finish so I stuck it out.  I couldn't do a full squat after that, but after a couple half-squats, I was back doing full ROM squats.  That happened on both sides.  The title lived up to its name today, I was DRENCHED and if there were more cardio type moves at the end instead of the flow, I would have done some major sprinkling all over my room.  It also didn't help things that I just got a hair cut so the sweat was literally pouring down my head and puddling on my mat.  Great routine to end my week with.

Splits felt good, and I think I was able to get a bit lower today, allowing me to edge off my plateau just a hair.  My Flow was also very solid.  Up until now, I have been Flowing at a natural pace. Next week, I'm going to push the pace and see how that affects things like my form and balance.  But for now, it is on to my off day.

In the end, I torched over 800kcals!  Big burn to finish off the week.
