8-04-17 (Friday) HY: PIYO - Strength Intervals + ChaLEAN Extreme - Extreme Core Circuit + Splits + TCF.
Final Tennis Tournament Conditioning Day. The tennis tournament is on Sunday, so I wanted to have a workout that was of medium intensity that wouldn't cause me to be sore or tight. But I wanted something that would keep within the range of my Strength/Cardio patterned Hybrid workout program. So, I went to this gem of a routine.
Strength Intervals is a routine that I haven't done in a pretty long time, but it was perfect for my purposes for today. But as it started out, I became a little worried that it might be too intense, because the beginning lower body section was brutal. My quads were screaming out, along with my glutes. It was a short routine, but pretty intense. I actually really liked the progression style of moves Chalene was using, not a killer move right from the start, but an easier move, then progressing through to a tough move. The upper body section was tough, but I was able to handle it. It actually got a little easier as it progressed. I guess I just needed to warm up those muscles. But I felt great at the end.
I went right into abs. I still used the 2kg hand weights and it still gave me a good burn. Controlling on the Swiss Ball not to bounce is a good challenge. Another good ab session. Move quickly to the Splits and Flow. I finished everything without rushing before sunset, so I was happy.
In the end, I torched just under 700kcals. Pretty much what I was expecting from a moderate overall workout. But all in prep for Sunday's tennis tournament. It is a little in question whether or not the tournament will go on because of a typhoon that is bearing down on my location. But all the news reports are saying it will skirt by and not hit us directly. So here is hoping. My son is coming in from Tokyo tomorrow so I'm looking forward to having him home.
Happy Weekend, Everyone!
