5-18-16 HY: P90X3 - X3 Yoga + Splits + TCF.

I was planning to wake up early and do a longer recovery routine today.  But, when I woke up, it was too early so I went back to sleep and my wife woke me up at 8am, which was about an hour and a half later than expected.  So my plan changed because of the time crunch.  But I felt a lot more energized with the extra sleep. So I'm not getting too down on myself.  I was planning to do X3 Yoga anyway, but I was also going to do one of the PiYo intro routines and some more stretching, but I had to get down to the bare bones of the workout, just the essentials.  One good thing is that my calves were feeling really sore, so I'm glad I wasn't going for another tasking cardio workout.

It has been a while since I did this routine so I was kind of excited to give it a go once again.  It was fun and relaxing, but I still got a good sweat on.  I felt really stable on a lot of the moves that were previously pretty wobbly for me.  Half moon, Twisting Half moon, Crane, Toe Bind, have been my toughest, but I did a lot better today.  The Wrap is feeling a little tight, but I was able to snag my finger tips and open up on the pose so I was satisfied... for today, but I want to do better.  My shoulders are really tight so I need to work on opening them up.

The splits were good because I was nice and loose.  The Flow was also on track.  Knee felt only a little gimpyness on one position so I was good. 

In the end, I burned a nice little 250+kcals.  Pretty much what I expected from a recovery day.
