4-1-16 HY: T25-Alpha: Total Body Circuit + 0-6 Abs-P2: Level 14 + Splits + TCF + Volleyball.

This is the one T25 routine that I really want to get a Straight 25 on.  I almost went with Lower Focus because I was still sore from yesterday's workout.  A lot of push-ups yesterday with P90X's Chest, Shoulders & Triceps.  But I decided to stick with the schedule and go for it.  I got through the whole routine well enough until the Burnout, then FAIL.  The last progression before the Burnout is that Spider/Oblique push-up progression, then the first move in the Burnout is the Tap Push-Ups. I tried to keep up with Shaun T and go into the Burnout, but I collapsed. Wasn't able to go down from Plank, I just collapsed.  So I had to take a break of about 20-30 seconds to shake it out.  But that was it.  Finished it up with no other breaks.  But that Spider Progression followed by the Burnout is just BRUTAL!  The oddest thing happened to me in the middle of the routine. At one point my upper body felt like they were getting SO pumped that my muscles in my arms and shoulder felt like they were going to pop. It felt cool and weird at the same time.

I feel like I have done a good job with Level 14 today so today is the caper for the 0-6 Abs program.  I really feel like my core got a lot stronger and stable.  The progressions were gradual and really took a good while to get through.  It was a very thorough program taking beginners from zero abs to a good level of core strength.  I would recommend it to anyone that wants to get their core strong.

Splits were good.  Just a little pinched nerve feeling in my left upper hip flexor, but not a pain nerve, but rather a "funny bone" nerve.  It almost tickled when I hit it.  But I was able to re-position and get low.  The Flow was on Par.

As I was heading for the shower, my daughter called out, "Daddy, let's play volleyball!". So, I changed my shirt, put on some warm clothes and went out to play some V-ball with my daughter.  Fun, but my legs were noodles.  But I wouldn't pass up this opportunity to play no matter what.

In the end, I torched a good 820+kcals.
