My nephew left early in the morning. More accurately, I brought him to the airport in the morning. I was sad to see him go, but I was glad that we could give him a taste of our fine city. A new shopping mall just opened near the airport so since I was in the area, I decided to go and check it out. So I was walking around the new mall for a couple hours and after exploring each floor, making mental notes about which stores are worth coming again for, I left for home. According to my pedometer, I walked close to 8000 steps. Nice little workout there.
When I got home, all was quiet. I just burned my time surfing the net, just doing nothing in particular, watching some Netflix, etc. I just really felt like not doing anything. I laid down on the floor and fell asleep for I don't know how long, but with I woke up, I felt better. Not totally motivated but at least I was feeling like I have to get a workout done. So I slowly started getting ready. I also had to be careful because if I waited too long to start I would, again, be in a time crunch before sunset.
Today's focus muscle groups were the Shoulders and Legs through Lunges. Each Tri-Set had two shoulder moves, one with a medium weight and one with a light weight, and a Lunge move for the legs, plus my Pull-Ups. I went down in weight by an average of about 3kgs. Please compare the weights below. The toughest moves were the Fly shoulder moves because of my left shoulder. It was so grueling with the slow reps because they really showed me where the pain issues were. I pretty much followed the instruction except for move 5. I did a Breakdown Set on both sides like the original, then also did the Dead Lift Breakdown. Got in a little extra on my legs. the +3 is not +30, I wrote a vertical "DL" after the +3. All in all, it was a good routine. But I was yawning throughout.
Extreme Abs is definitely extreme. But I'm handling it better than the beginning of Ab Burner. I guess I'm getting stronger. I was able to keep up with Chalene the whole time except for the Side Hip Raises. I was having some balance issues keeping my feet stacked. But I got the burn I was looking for!
The splits and Flow were good. All on point. I felt a little more energized afterward, but still a bit lethargic. After a good sleep tonight, I'm sure I'll feel better in the morning.
In the end, I torched a nice 871kcals. Missed hitting 1000, but once I get back to normal, I should be nailing it for sure! Glad the weekend is here, though.
