I was feeling tired this morning when I got up.  We got back from Nagasaki late last night so I wanted to sleep in, but I had to get it going because today is the day my son goes back to Tokyo.  We were planning to bring him to the airport as a family, but my daughter had to go to an Open Campus event of a college she potentially wants to attend after she graduates.  So we did the parent split, I took my son to the airport and my wife took my daughter to the open campus.  When my task was all done, and I got home to an empty house, what was there to do?  I just vegged out.  I really didn't feel like doing anything.  I watched TV, played some games.  Almost took a nap, but I wasn't sleepy.  But come 5 o'clock, I started to get that itch again.  That itch to get moving and to get active.  I was still tired, and I wasn't feeling it for heavy weights, so...  I remember a friend posting something about CVX, so I figured I'd give that a try.  I keep saying I want more routines and even a program with routines that combine weights and cardio, so I figured this would be a good way to start and get back into the old working out routine.

This was a really good workout.  It didn't put a lot of pressure on my painful right side, but the cardio with the weight was tough.  Before starting, I thought to do the routine with my 5kg medicine ball, but just as the routine started, I wimped out and went for my 4kg dumbbell instead.  That was a good decision.  I think the 5kgs would have been too heavy, especially for my injury.  Three moves, two rounds back to back.  But, since I have lost some of my conditioning because of the off days, I took a few extra breaks all throughout the routine.  Legs again were getting a good burn.  Upper Body also was getting some high rep toning work as well.  Not too much burn, but good movement.  One minute cardio moves, especially the jumping ones were particularly breath-taking.  Great routine, DONE!

I wanted to get some abs in, but I was worried about my side, so I went light and slow.  It was tough, but compared to Tuesday, when I did the same routine for abs, there was a lot less pain, so I'm on the mend.  Got a nice burn on today as well.  Slow controlled reps does a whole lot more than just blasting a ton of reps really fast.  No momentum to help get up.

The stretch and the Flow were as usual, a good run.

In the end, I torched just over 700kcals.  I sweat a ton, but I had a good burn overall.
