5-02-16 HY: Cycling + T25-Gamma: Extreme Circuit + Splits + TCF.

Since last night, my right front hip flexor was really sore.  I may have injured it while trying to pull up some of the roots of the tree stump.  The pain didn't come until later in the evening.  When I woke up in the morning, it was really stiff.  I had to walk with a limp until it stretched out a bit.  I went to see Captain America: Civil War in the morning.  So AWESOME!!! No spoilers though.  I know it hasn't opened yet.  If you're into that type of movie, you'll love it!  Real adrenaline pumper, so when I got home, I was raring to go.

Cardio Day!  It was a beautiful day, and I really wanted to go for a ride.  So, I got my bike out.  It has been a long time since I rode it.  Close to a year.  Last year, I didn't have a lot of time, plus, on days that I did have the time, it was raining or ashing or something.  So when I got my bike out, it was in bad shape.  So I started to clean it up, oiled her up, and then took her out for a short ride.  But the left gear shift was totally melted so I couldn't use it.  So I had to stay on the largest sprocket. I only rode for 30 minutes testing the smaller gears that I could shift with my right shifter.  It was a nice warm-up.  Exactly what I needed for my hip flexor.

I wanted to do Cardio, and I was hoping that Extreme Circuit would be and Extreme Cardio routine, but it was a strength routine.  I almost stopped and changed to a cardio routine, but 5 minutes in and I couldn't stop.  I really liked that 4 - one-minute moves and one minute Burnout.  The first circuit was killer.  I didn't stop, but I wasn't able to hold the weights at 90degrees the whole time.  Although I let the weight down some, I didn't totally drop the ball.  I felt the burn for the first three circuits, but I was able to keep going.  But the last two circuits just killed me.  I was so tired that I needed to take a quick breather after the more cardio-ish moves.  I don't remember the names of the moves, but I remember need the breaks.  Although is wasn't a total cardio workout, I got in some cardio.

I was afraid I wouldn't be able to do a good deep stretch because of my pain, but it was warm so I was able to stretch as normal.  I pushed lower than ever today.  Felt really good.  And the Flow was spot on as well.

In the end, I torched a nice 606kcals.  Hopefully the stiffness will be less tomorrow.
