4-08-16 HY: T25-Beta: Speed 2.0 + Splits + TCF.

4-08-16 HY: T25-Beta: Speed 2.0 + Splits + TCF.

Got home from work late which put me into a huge time crunch.  So I burned it through my workout today.  Thank goodness for T25 on days like this!

This is one routine that I really like, I love how each level is shorter than the last which really pushes me to just make it to the end of that move, then go on.  I got through all three levels of Round 1 in good form, but my lower calves and arches were really feeling it.  In round one, it starts off with two high impact moves then the third move is a little less impact so that provides some relief from the pain.  Then, high impact (hopping/jumping) moves are mixed with lower impact moves through out.  But the toughest thing is the transition between round 1 and round 2.  There is no rest, Shaun T just goes right into those Low Cross-Jacks.  Halfway through the move, my lower calves and arches gave out and every step was excruciating. So... unfortunately, I had to stop and shake it out for about a minutes, then I started round 2 from the beginning, and it was non-stop from there. I think I caught my second wind.  Only a few times did I need to modify with Tania and not for the whole move, just a few reps then it was back to normal.  But that one break cost me a Straight 25.  So It's back to the beginning to repeat this phase once I'm finished.  Happy to go through it again, though.

Moved quickly into Splits and I really pushed it today.  And I was able to get really low.  The lowest thus far in my splits training.  GETTING IT!!!  My Flow was also perfection... by my standards, which is the best I know.  I can only hope Dr. Cheng would agree.

In the end, I torched a good 620kcals in a 1 hour and 25 minute workout.  Welcome OFF DAY!!!
