Today was such a disappointment. I was planning to play tennis today in the morning, but when I got to the gym to set up the net, it was full of orientation things. My university's entrance ceremony is tomorrow and then they have a bunch of physical tests and such to do, along with selling gym shoes, etc. So the gym was occupied and no tennis. My next tennis time will probably be next week, so that is going to be about 2 weeks with no tennis. BOO HOO!!! But I did get some information about an organization that I can possibly join so I can play more. Here's hoping!
Not playing tennis, I guess, was sort of a blessing in disguise because today was supposed to be a resistance day, so I was able to stay on track. Having finished all the basic P90X resistance routines, I am moving to the Plus routines. Total Body Plus kicked my butt! Before I started the routine I was looking at the worksheet and the rep counts and the weights were not high at all, so I thought I could up everything. NO WAY!!! It has been a while since I did this routine last, and I failed to write the date down above the last column so I don't know exactly when I did it. Probably close to a couple years ago. I was able to improve a little bit on certain moves, but on the whole, I did pretty much the same. The heaviest weight, I upped from 10kgs to 12kgs. The medium weight went up to 12kgs from 7.5kgs. On 17. Weighted Warrior, I went up 1kg to 4kgs, and I was dying. The second side, I barely got my arms up on the last couple of reps. I was only able to up the rep count on a few moves, and only by 1 or 2 reps. Moves like 05, 07, 09, 12, 20 and the bonus moves. It was BRUTAL!!!
Over all, it was a great workout. Although this was a resistance routine, there was a lot of cardio in it. I pushed it and I got a huge cardio affect. burned a lot of calories. BOO YA!
I was going to take a break from abs today, but when I thought about my schedule tomorrow, I decided to go ahead and do abs today because I won't have time to do it tomorrow, entrance ceremony and all, plus a night class. So I chose a short but really intense routine. I really love this ab routine because it is different, but BURNS so good. Today, I used 2kg hand weights since I don't have the weighted gloves. Toughy Tough tough! I love the burn this routine gives, and so quickly, too. Another plus is that it is fun!
Splits were low and Flow was smooth! Great way to end the workout.
In the end, I torched a big 1155kcals. Happy Dance!
