6-01-16 HY: P90X2 - X2 Yoga + Splits + TCF.

I broke with what had become sort of a regular routine for Wednesdays and instead of doing my workout in the morning, I relaxed in the morning and waited to workout at night.  The reason for that is because I didn't sleep well and felt a more sluggish than usual, and a little more sore than usual, especially in my legs.  Plus, since I didn't have my regular night class tonight, it was no problem.

Wednesday has become mid-week recovery day so I went with yoga.  I was thinking to do that level one recovery from Insanity, but since I'm going to have another big tennis day tomorrow, I went with yoga.  I really went for the poses and pushed the stretches.  Right Half Moon is still more shaky than Left Half Moon.  I can't look up on the right, but I can look up on the left.  On Twisting Half Moon, I can stay more steady if my put my fist on the ground as opposed to my finger tips.  Triangle pose felt really good today.  I usually have to move my feet a little closer together after that core work, but today, my feet stayed right in the same place and I felt like I was keeping pretty flat.  I still had problems with Plow, and I still can't get my legs straight up in that progression after Plow.  My shoulders still feel rather tight, so I need to work harder to open them up.  But overall, today's yoga session felt much better than previous times.

The Splits were AWESOME!!! After opening up with Yoga, I was getting low, way past the mark today.  It felt really good to get that low, but at the same time, I felt the pain, but in a good way.  The Flow was also right on point, smooth and clean.

In the end, the burn was only 350+kcals, which would normally be disappointing, but that wasn't the point for today, so no problem.  The recovery goal was reached.
