8-24-16 HY: P90X2 - Recovery and Mobility + Splits + TCF.

Well, I was a little too relaxed today.  I pretty much just relaxed at home and did some organizing of my stuff, watched some baseball, played some games, etc.  When I looked at the clock, I had only two hours before I had to get to work, so I had to jump into action.  Luckily it is a mid-week recovery day so I went with Tony.

I just love this recovery routine because it actually makes me feel like I recovered.  The pain from rolling out the hot spots ends up being beneficial.  Again, today, I doubled the Foam Rolling sequence and again, there was a noticeable difference between the initial balance and mobility moves and the same moves after the foam rolling.  Huge loosening up of shoulder, lower back and legs.  I had a good improvement in stability and balance as well.  I really tried to push hard and deep on the stretch part of the routine.  Stretches like Pigeon, Frog, Figure 4 Hamstring stretch, etc. were awesome and painful.  Great round.

I did the Splits and Flow after my night class in the evening.  I love having a double stretch day.  I can really feel the difference in all angles of the splits.  I'm passing into a new low, and am again at another plateau.  So once I get used to this one, I'll push hard and go a step lower.  Left side splits are definitely the closest to getting all the way down.  If I do complete that, I will consider that a huge victory and mission one-third accomplished.  Flow was normal, no glitches.

In the end, I burned a modest 270+kcals in the afternoon part of my workout.
