Yes, that is it for today. Only one routine. I got home a bit early, but things came up and got started later than I wanted, so I had time for only Legs. Today will be my off day from Splits and Flow. I will do them tomorrow night. Being flexible is the key! I'm not going to get all bent out of shape for not being able to do a full workout.
Supreme 90 Day: Legs is a tough workout. They move so fast, I can't keep up. Also, I love P90X's Legs and Back, so since Supreme 90 Day's Legs is only legs, I, long ago, added a bunch of sets of pull ups to the mix. I actually had forgotten how I did it until I actually finished the main workout, so I added the pull ups at the end all at once. Very tough, plus, if you remember the last time I did pull ups I sort of hurt my right pec muscle. Well, I didn't re-injure it today, but it did feel a bit strained, but not pulled.
Anyway, back to legs. The routine starts out with some killer ab moves so I was happy to burn out my abs first. The Leg workout then 9 moves done in two circuits. A little different than the other resistance routines that groups moves into super sets or giant sets. In the first set, I use medium weights at 15 reps, then go up in weights and down to 12 reps. But a few of the moves are double sided so there are actually more sets than what is written down. The toughest move, by far, is the Front to Back Lunge. That move is also in Body Beast and one other program, and it just burns me out. When I'm bushed, I lose my balance. That especially happens on this move in the second circuit.
The mistake I made today with the routine is this. The regular Legs routine does not have Pull ups, I added them to make the routine like P90X. But what I forgot today, is that I put a set of pull ups in at every three leg moves so I can get all six sets in all spread out, not concentrated at the end. Well, since I forgot that, I did the pull ups all concentrated at the end. OUCH!!! But in a good way. You'll see in the record sheet below.
The routine opens and then closes with a move called Triple Heater (ball). That is doing 15 reps of Bridges with feet on a Swiss Ball, then a set of 15 of Roll Ins, then a set of 15 of further away Bridges. VERY Killer for the hamstrings. But the second time around, I finished off with 8kgs on my stomach. The DVD doesn't do that. But I wanted to up the intensity. I couldn't go straight through, I had to take breaks. Hammys almost cramped up. Over all, it was a good workout.
In the end, I torched a nice 845+kcals. Legs will do that! Happy for the off day from tough workouts!
