2-12-16 HY: T25- Alpha: Cardio + Splits + TCF.

2-12-16 HY: T25- Alpha: Cardio + Splits + TCF.

Got home late so I had to make a choice in the time crunch. So I decided to let go of the Ab routine today. I was feeling a little soreness in my legs, so I was a little wary of doing this cardio. But once I got started I was on, and the pain abated. The Run Progression is a tough way to start, and my feet started to feel the pain coming on, but I rode it out and I got a good second wind and kept on going. I was nailing everything with good range of motion until the 15 minute mark. I was in the middle of the very last move of the first Burnout when the phone rang. My daughter answered it then needed me to talk, SOOOO I had to stop, catch my breath, then talk on the phone. 20 seconds later, and after rewinding the move to start it again, I was back at it. But about 5 minutes later, I had to stop again for another phone call. I was disappointed because I thought I might have been able to do a straight 25, but at the 5 minute mark, when doing the second half of the speed & agility, the Jack Feet, my arches couldn't take it so I had to take the last 10 seconds and shake them out. But I went straight from then on all the way. A lot better than the last time I did this routine. Making large strides of improvement. With the knowledge that I would not be doing abs today, I was trying to flex my core as much as possible when raising my knees so I hope that did a little something.

Splits were good. Getting to my mark faster, but still have that hip flexor pain. I need to push through that so I can break out of my most recent plateau. Still keeping it up though. I'm still very encouraged to compare where I was last year to today. Not much further to go! Flow was as usual, smooth and clean.

In the end, I torched a VERY SHOCKING 830+kcals. Yes, I was shocked. I don't look at my calorie burn until I stop the HRM and I was guessing it would be more like in the 500's, but 800's, Shocked to say the least. But smashing way to finish off this week.

Advice request: I am a huge tennis fan/player/freak as you know, so I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what to do to even out body strength. My right side is stronger than my left. Should I just workout more on my left to strengthen it, or is keeping the workout balance the key?
