No talk of the busy exhausting day I had, Just the workout.  When I got home I knew I had to do my workout before relaxing or I'd never get up again. So I changed and got to it.

The routine is as billed, but I would add "KILLER" to the beginning.  I don't recall feeling that pumped so early in a routine that this one.  The second move is the Strip Presses, and I went semi-heavy starting at 17kgs, when to 14.5, then to 12.  But the second round, I went up to 19.5kgs, then 17, and finally 14.5kgs.  That one move pumped me up like CRRRAZY!!!  Then all the other balance moves with push ups for chest, and the other Tricep moves, MAN! My upper body felt so pumped.  A lot of Medball moves as well. The balance stuff is insane!  The 3-ball Tricep dip, I tried it with one leg up and the leg on the ball almost cramped trying to stabilize.  I had to go really slowly to stay up.  As it was for all the medball, Stability ball moves.  Circle Presses were also a killer with only 3kgs. I had to go down to 2kgs in the second round.

I went right into abs and I got an awesome pump there also.  I went in strong and held on to a lot of moves that I used to take mid-set breaks on, but the last move, the Slow Bicycle, I needed a break, plus, I was so pumped I wasn't able to touch my elbow to my knee like I usually can.  This ends my P90X2 experience. Went through all the routines, some more than once, in just over two weeks.  Loved getting back to this program.  I'm sure I'll see it again in the future.

I moved right into splits and kept getting lower. Very happy about that. And the Flow was solid. Today also, not pain at all in either knee! That made me VERY HAPPY!  Nailed all the Flows.

The weird thing about today's workout is that there were a few interruptions during the routines and I had to stop for a few minutes to take care of things.  So that forced me to backtrack and redo several moves.  I think that accounted for my huge calorie burn.  In the end, I torched over 1000kcals.  Good way for me to start off my week.  Next up... You'll see tomorrow! :-)
