7-7-15 HY: PiYo-Core + Splits + TCF.

Day 2 of my active healing strategy for my shoulder.  Really good/killer core workout today.  When the DVD started up the time was only 30 minutes, so I was thinking I'd do something else afterwards. Nope, couldn't do it.  I was really trying to flex my core target muscles and I felt it good.  I kept on the cramping edge.  I had a good run until those cris-crosses, then I had to tap out.  I had to tap out quite often after that. My core couldn't keep up with the constant movement and strain.  I will have to keep on strengthening my core so I can hang with Chalene.  Short but good workout. Really learned my weaknesses today.  I'll be honest, I did get a little frustrated with Chalene at one point because when I'm doing the moves, I can't  watch the monitor so I have to listen to her cues.  A few times in the middle of the routine, she used different terminology than she normally used and I was like, "What was that???" So I had to stop, look up and see what she was doing. When I saw that it was just the same move as earlier, I was like, "Why change up the terminology now?"  It came at times when I was going strong and didn't want to stop, but I didn't want to lose count and become uneven/unbalanced. But once I got on my butt and I could see, no problems.

I really pushed my splits today again. I went to my present limit and then some. I was a little afraid of my knee buckling so I  stopped.  Should the splits really be that hard?  It almost seems like my hip joints have a restricted range of motion which makes it impossible for me to do full splits without an operation to increase the range of motion.  That won't happen, but it is starting to get frustrating with such small gains. Only in the millimeters.

My Flow started of really rough because of the pain/soreness in my legs.  Yesterday, before I started my workout, my triceps were kind of sore from the final X2 routine that hammered the triceps. Then, after Sweat, if you now Sweat, you know all the tricep push ups you do. That just made them work more.  Today, my triceps were barking all day. Straightening my arms was a trial.  Doing all those side-planks also made them hard. So got a good workout there. But after Sweat, my legs were dying, and today, especially my inner thighs were screaming for attention.  Felt a little better after the splits, and at the same time more painful.  When I started the Flow, I was just wobbling around like a bobble-head doll.  But once I got my bearing, I nailed it!

The shoulder feels good. Not too much latent pain, but it's still there.  Patience and calmness must now be my allies.  In the end, Only burned just over 300kcals.
