7-10-16 HY: PiYo- Define: Lower Body ChaLEAN Extreme - Ab Burner + Splits + TCF.

Very weird schedule today.  Had some contract work from 8am to 4:30pm, and my wife and daughter wanted to go out shopping at a distant shopping center right when I got home.  Literally less than a minute in the house just to grab something and it was out again.  Did a lot of walking while shopping.  Didn't get home until close to 10pm and wasn't able to get started on my workout until about 10:30pm.  Put on top of that, my Achilles injury and the first time in almost two years that I went two days in a row without doing my Splits stretching, I couldn't NOT workout today.  So, to take it easy on my Achilles, I went with a very low impact high intensity workout.

PiYo was a good routine, to rest my Achilles and get a nice little sweat going without waking up the neighbors.  Then, quickly moving on to Abs with a nice short and intense routine.  Achilles was safe and not a bit of strain on it.

I was a little worried about the Splits, but no problem.  Flow was also no problem.  I'm really worried about aggravating the injury and making it worse.  So, I'm probably going to take it easy this week.  Call it a forced recovery week.  I may not even do tennis tomorrow.  I will test my Achilles in the morning to see how it feels.  If there is any pain in the slightest, I'm calling off the tennis.  I want to be ready for Tennis on Thursday.

I put on an HRM anyway, and in the end, I burned a modest 300+kcals.  Pretty much as expected.  But I think I'm going to do some heavy stuff for upper body this week.  But shorter routines like X3 stuff.  I'll hold off on Insanity and T25 for now.
