10-20-15 HY: Tennis + Weight Machines + Splits + TCF.
TENNIS DAY! I can't tell you, or express in words well enough how much I look forward to this day every week. I wish I could play more, but for now, this will have to do. Today was a good day. Started of fast... Maybe a little too fast, because most of the games went with my opponent getting only 2 points or less. Quick 6-0 set. But I was either over confident or winded in the second set because I lost the first two games right off. What a let down. So I had to scrap back. I really like to test myself when I get down. We had some AWESOME "highlight reel" rallies but I can only imagine what the "younger kids" would say had they actually seen us moving around the court. LOL! Either way, we had a great time and it was an awesome workout. The final score was 6-0, 6-3, 6-2.
Went right into the weight room and hit the machines. My legs were a bit tired and sore not only from tennis, but especially from the unexpected leg workout I got yesterday with Chalene. I wasn't really planning to work my legs today, but after doing a few upper body moves, I felt, in order to keep that lower/upper balance, I needed to do some lower body, so I did some hamstring and quad work. Also hit the calf area also, but with only 80kgs. Got a good round in and really burned out my shoulders, chest and back.
Had to wait until I got home to do my splits. But I got what I needed to do with them. I went down to the bar level, but wasn't able to rest on it. I am trying to square up my hips more instead of going down in a slight angle like I had been doing, albeit unknowingly. So, now I have to correct that, and if feels more like a joint issue that a flexibility issue. Sort of like the bone from my hip joint is oddly shaped so it won't open in that direction. But, it's probably all in my head. HA!
The Flow was good. Just really went with the flow not trying to push it. It went very smoothly and Flowingly, if that's a word. Nice end to the day.
In the end, (not including the splits and Flow) I torched over 1000kcals!
