6-06-16 HY: T25 - Alpha: Ab Intervals + Splits + TCF + Tennis.
3-Day Refresh, Day 3, and Recovery Week, Day 2. I don't want to go too intense or rigorous this week, so I'm choosing routines that are less so. This one was perfect. I wasn't feeling particularly energetic in the morning, but this routine got my blood flowing and my core burning. I almost made a Straight 25, but that progression right in the middle, with the V-ups and Leg Raises without putting my heels on the ground, just wiped me. I had to take a little break. Thank goodness this routine is only 25 minutes. That is more than enough time to waste my core.
The splits and Flow were again, good. Low, Clean and Smooth.
In the afternoon, after my classes, the guy in charge of the tennis club I started going to offered to play tennis with me after work, so, How could I pass up that offer? I couldn't! I was a little worried about my low calorie intake messing with my energy, and I was a little worried if I could play the whole time. We planned for only an hour, but it looked to be an intense hour. I got there a bit early and did some serving practice. I'm starting feel my groove for my second serve, so I'm happy about that. We didn't plan to play a match, but just concentration and consistency drilling. The guy is old, but he can get everything back. So it was really good for me to really focus to keep each rally going. I was junking balls into the net a lot at the beginning, but as the groove started to happen, the rallies got longer and longer. Also, we weren't playing full court, rather Ad-court and Deuce court, the volleys. It was a hard hour. But the most surprising thing was that I didn't feel exhausted at all. Rather, I was feeling pretty energized the whole hour. I was very happy about that.
In the end, I burned 350+kcals in the morning, and 900+kcals during the tennis. A lot bigger burn than I expected on a recovery week/day 3 of the 3-Day Refresh. But none the less, I was VERY satisfied with my activity today.
