Ahhh, back to a regular workout today. It was very cold in my room, so I was working out with the heater on. I think that helped me get a good sweat on. Not that the room became really hot, but it maintained a level 17 degrees.

Leg days are always tough, so I was expecting it to be tough today. But what actually happened, I did not expect. I kept the weights at the same level so the switching went quickly. I also didn't take as much break time as Segi did on the first Single Set so I kept up. But I got extremely winded just from the first move, and my right glute started to... not really cramp, but seemed to contract and get in the way of my hip flexor causing an unusual pain for this move. It is the pain that usually happens while I'm doing the splits. The Progressive Set was extremely tough. So much tougher than it was previously. I am able to switch plates very quickly now on my dumbbells so I didn't wait for Segi and team because there aren't supposed to be breaks between the sets going up then down. That killed me. At the end, I just couldn't catch my breath and I was feeling just a touch sick. But I felt a lot better after taking a drink and catching my breath. From that point on, the moves got really difficult and I was getting winded really quickly. My legs were shaking by the 3rd set and they are feeling it now as well. On the second to last Super Set, the Alternating Side Squats were a lot more difficult today. I had that glute crampy thing happening again, but this time, on the opposite side. And, really winded again. The Calf Raises were normal on the right side, got to 40 then finished off he last 10 quickly. But the left side was a little off, I only made it to 30 before cramping out, then struggled to finish the set. Really had to power through today.

Moved right into abs and stuck with Level 8 and 7. Tough, but no sag today, and felt solid.

Splits and Flow were really good. It took me a little longer, because of the day off yesterday, to hit my mark, but I finally got there. It was a good session!

In the end, I torched a big 1019 kcals. A little higher... No, a lot higher than usual. Probably because of my declining fitness level again. I need more cardio for sure. So, it starts tomorrow. Tomorrow, I go with Cardio. That is the plan.
