6-27-16 HY: T25 - Core Speed + Splits + TCF + Tennis.

I was feeling really tight and sore upon getting up this morning.  So I was actually thinking of doing something other than T25 for my cardio fix this morning.  So, as I was getting ready, I was thinking of what I could do.  But there was nothing as intense and that would bring the results I was looking for, so I decided to stick with T25.  I had always though Core Speed was a great routine, so I decided to go with that one.  That was somewhat of a mistake. It is a great workout, but I need to warm up better than I did the next time.  I started out cold and I pain for it. I just wasn't moving well at the beginning.  I was behind pace and felt really sluggish.  But as the routine went on, I got it better.  But even though I was getting looser, my stamina wasn't getting longer.  I needed to take a break between rounds and sometimes mid-round.  Definitely not a Straight 25 today, but I got through it.  I was doing the sprinkler thing again with my sweat.  I may have to start wearing long sleeves when I woukout to prevent the sprinkler action. Shoulders also were really feeling it, especially on those two burpee variations.  All in all, a good workout.

I moved right to the splits.  I was still feeling the affects of the workout so the warm muscles really helped me get it done.  Got down and dirty.  The Flow was also very good.

In the afternoon, after class, I played tennis again.  There were times when I felt I couldn't miss the ball and we had long rallies.  But at other times, I couldn't keep the ball out of the net.  There you have it, my downfall, my Achilles Heel: CONSISTENCY.  Anyway, we played some games, didn't have time for a full match or set because of the longer warm up time, but I did better this time than last time.  Last time I didn't hit any good shots, but today, I was able to bring a little of my game to the court.  Last time, the games I won were "Give me's".  Like he double faulted away a whole game.  But today, I EARNED my games.  I hit winners, and hustled.  But still, I only got two game off him.  He knows the court, so in this case, home court advantage is easier.  Baby Steps.  One day, I'm going to dominate!

In the end, I had two calorie burn counts: The morning session torched 610+kcals, and the Tennis session burned 1100+kcals.  It started rough, but ended great!
