Yesterday was a true rest day, in that it was my Sabbath, plus, I had to give the sermon at my church so after it was finished, I was very relieved. I usually don't take a nap after church, but yesterday, I felt like the pressure valve had been opened and I took a 2 hour nap. My wife said I was sleeping so deeply, but not snoring. I probably would have gone out to play badminton with my daughter, but unfortunately it was raining so no go. Total rest.
Well, I finished all the resistance routines in Supreme 90 Day so now, I'm moving on to P90X2. Over the next few weeks, that program will be my main program with the other supplemental programs to support my goals.
Today, was also raining, so the outside projects I had planned didn't get done, so they will have to wait for the next sunny weekend. So my main exercise was my regular workout. As I said in my last entry, I was also considering ChaLEAN Extreme as my next program. But with the number of routines and the length of said routines, ChaLEAN Extreme will serve me better later in the year. So, I went with X2.
I was intending to go with just the resistance routines and keep doing T25 for my cardio, but I will try to work in the X2 Cardio routines where I can. Today was sort of a middle of the road routine. X2 Core is a good routine and has elements of both resistance and cardio, but after doing it, I felt really worked in the core and other areas upper and lower. The routine is just under an hour, but I had forgotten how long the warm up was. It went by quite fast. I had to stop to watch and learn some moves so that got me some extra time. But the first half is definitely not as intense as the second half. The Swiss Ball Burpees and the Med. Ball Burpees, the other strength and core moves had me doubled over several times during the routine. I got a great burn on my core. That is why I didn't do a supplement ab routine today. I did all the required reps so the worksheet is pretty normal. In fact, I'm not really sure why there's a worksheet for this routine. I guess for the real beginner who can't get the required number or reps to keep track. Below is my worksheet.
The Splits were good. I had that feeling of going down low so I went low and pushed it. The Flow was Smooth and clean.
I had a fight session with my daughter and we made some videos of the fight. So fun!
In the end, I torched 700+kcals. Had a good day.
