6-08-16 HY: P90X3 - X3 Yoga + Splits + TCF.

6-08-16 HY: P90X3 - X3 Yoga + Splits + TCF.

Today, I had my health check at work.  So, I wasn't supposed to eat anything in the morning.  So, without eating, I went to work and got the check done.  Everything was fine.  The slight anomaly was that my weight was up, but my waist measurement was down.  I'm thinking muscle mass is the cause. Right after the check, I went to the gym to get my workout in. 

X3 Yoga is always a great routine to do on off days or recovery days/weeks.  I pushed the stretching as much as possible and pressed my range of motion.  Tried for perfect form, and for the most part, from my point of view, I was doing okay.  My Wrap was good.  My Half Moon was strong and steady on both sides.  My right Toe Bind was strong and stable, but the left side was pitiful.  I kept falling out of it and couldn't maintain the pose.  Everything else was good.  On that move after Plow, with the legs straight up, today, my legs were the straightest and the most perpendicular to the ground I've gotten them in a long time.  Felt really good today, all around.  Right after the yoga, I wanted to test my pull up strength, so I did a set of Pull Ups.  Nailed out 21 in a row.  The most for in one set, non-stop.   My previous record was 20.

I wasn't able to do the splits until I got home late in the evening.  But I got them done, adding time to them to push lower, and I was feeling good, so I was able to push.  I think I pushed the lowest today for a new record low.  The Flow was smooth and clean.

In the end, but after only the Yoga, I burned a nice 300+kcals.  Recovery week is almost done, then it's back to the heavy resistance.  Looking forward to it.
