4-06-16 HY: T25- Beta: Core Cardio + Splits + TCF.

Today was a full day and I didn't make it home until past 8pm.  Again, not the best time to start a workout, but it's all I could do today.  I knew I was going to do a short workout, and I was really thinking of doing X3 Yoga.  But I was a bit inactive today, and I was sort of tired because of that inactivity so I changed my mind and went with Core Cardio.

This is my move into T25 Beta so I was expecting more strength moves, so when the routine started I was shocked at the speed at which it started.  And since it was Core Cardio, I expected some core moves on the floor mixed with cardio moves, sort of like Ab Intervals in Alpha, but no, much different from what I expected.  Yes, I'd done this routine before, but probably over two years ago so I did not remember any of the moves at all.  This was a Double Burnout routine.  The first round was tough, but doable, the biggest hurdle in the second round, or at least I think it was the second round was the Speed Kicks.  Again, arch issues.  Once I got past that move, I got through it well enough.  Now, here is the question, I didn't stop to rewind the DVD once, so normally I would call that a Straight 25 session.  However, a few times, during move transitions, I stopped to see how Shaun T was doing the move, then I would start in.  I lost one, maybe two moves at the most.  Also, at the very end, after the second Burnout, the two moves: Mountain Climbers, and Spider Climbers, I was dying and so the two Climber moves started off really slow.  The Spider one stayed pretty slow with about a breath between each rep.  The very last two moves, Body Spring and Full Body Run also, started off a little slow, but I, for the most part kept up with Shaun T and crew.  Are those "move check" slight pauses enough to negate a Straight 25?  Oh, and during that Tap Out series, I was SWEATIN' LIKE A PIG!  So, I would stop to quickly wipe the sweat out of my eyes, but I did not break form.  I didn't take any breaks, but I did have a few micro pauses.  HMMMMMMM???

The Splits were great! I was able to find a good angle to go low on.  However, on the last two straddle splits, my right knee started to feel like it was about to buckle, so I backed off. CRUMB!!! I'll test it tomorrow.  I may need to alter my poses.  The Flow was, as usual, on par.

In the end, I torched a good 709kcals.  All that in a quick 90 minutes.  Thankfully, I got rid of that inactive tiredness feeling.
