12-30-15 HY: T25- Beta: Rip'T Circuit + P90X3: X3 Yoga + Splits + TCF.
After 3 straight days of resistance, I thought it was time for some cardio AND yoga, so went with both. Rip'T Circuit was a good routine to sort of support all the resistance I've been doing in cardio fashion. It didn't get my heart rate going too high, but I got a good burn and it really worked the total body. Most of my upper body had a moderate level of soreness so the slow push-ups and other strength moves with the resistance band were a good muscle reminder. Combined with the cardio moves, it really felt good all over. I also got a good sweat going in a cold room.
I moved right into yoga and it also felt good. The sweat kept rolling. The stretch really felt good and when possible, I really pushed the pose to get an extra deep stretch, especially with the hip flexor moves. That warmed me up for the splits stretch to come. Balance, for some reason, was a lot better than it had been on past yoga workouts. The bench mark is Half-Moon. Today's Half-Moon, on BOTH sides was very solid. The right side was especially solid, which is usually my bad side. So that made me really happy.
Splits were really good today, I felt like I was going past the mark for most of the later straddle splits, and I felt like both the side splits were making gains. But the bad news is, with one day left in 2015, there is no way I'm going to make this years goal unless I tear some muscle tissue and tendons. And I can tell you, THAT is not going to happen. So I'll have to rethink my goal for next year.
The Flow was also quite clean and I had a good run at different speeds. I was very happy with the Flow.
In the end, I torched a good 652kcals. Not bad for a pseudo-recovery day.
