5-30-16 HY: T25 - Alpha: Total Body Circuit + Splits + TCF.

Nice way to start of my day, ShakeO and a workout.  I also had the opportunity to play some tennis in the late afternoon, but was suddenly tasked with a family matter so it didn't happen.  Maybe next week.  But the morning workout was more than enough to give me a good boost for the day.

Total Body Circuit is my nemisis routine from Alpha Round.  This is the only routine that I have not been able to do as a Straight 25.  Today was close, but again, I wasn't able to make it.  I made it all the way to the Oblique Push Ups, that is to say, I made it about 17 minutes in, then needed a break.  I started the Oblique Push Up set, but couldn't finish.  I only got about a third of the way in then I hit failure.  So I stopped, took a break, shook out my arms and shoulders, rewound the DVD to the beginning of the Oblique Push Ups and went through it again.  But I had to take a break just as the Burnout started because it started with Tap Push Ups, and I was totally spent.  So again, break.  Through the 8 minute or so Burnout, I ended up taking about 3 breaks.  I wonder if I could do this routine as a Straight 25 if I didn't have a tough resistance day the day before.  I might try this one again after my mid-week recovery on Wednesdays.  Maybe next week.   But that was a good routine and I got a pump and burn in my muscles and lungs.

The heat in my muscles made for a good stretch.  It felt good to go low.  Just a little additional time today, but still good.  The Flow was smooth and clean as well.  Went at regular speed and was able to do it totally pain free.  Zero pain in my right calf or right knee.

In the end, I torched a good 752kcals.  Morning sweat is a fresh sweat!
