4-25-16 HY: T25 - Gamma: Speed 3.0 + Splits + TCF.

I wanted to get a good sleep and then wake up early and hammer out a good workout.  Just as I was going to bed, my son calls from Tokyo and wants to talk.  Since I haven't talked to him in a few days, we talk and I end up getting to bed a lot later than I had wanted.  But it was worth it, for sure!

I got up a lot later than I was planning, but that gave me a chance to sort of warm up some by just getting ready for the day.  I wasn't feeling that tight when I got started so I decided to not do Cold Start from P90X3 and jump right into the workout.  Oh, the past few times I did a morning workout, I did it before having breakfast.  Today, I had a ShakeO first and then did my daily routine.  I figured I would feel good being fueled up.  Two things, I think I do better on an empty stomach, and two, I KNOW I do better with Cold Start, especially for morning workouts.  I did feel light footed to begin with, but there were a couple troughs during the routine that didn't make me feel good.  I felt... off.  I don't know how else to explain it.  I was doing all the moves, but right at the beginning of Round 2 I was like feeling a bit light headed and dry-mouth-thirsty at the same time.  The light-headedness wasn't so bad that I felt I needed to stop, and it went away after a bit, but it was different.  But near the end of Level 1 of Round 2, I got a second wind and I felt more normal.  The good news is that I did a Straight 25.  There was just a little bit of an arch issue, but not that much.  I think this is my favorite of the "Speed" series.  I liked the fact that there was a good mix of standing moves and the on-the-ground moves.  It was almost like a really good full body workout.  Great routine all the way around.

Yesterday was an intense  core routine, so I didn't really feel the need to do an ab routine, so I went straight for the Splits.  I had that good feeling today, so I pushed it when I could, and when I had to.  Got low, passed my mark.  The Flow was also Smooth and Clean, just the way I like and expect it.

In the end, I torched 700+kcals.  Felt good to get things done in the morning and free up my evenings.
