10-06-17 (Friday) HY: P90X3 - X3 Yoga + TCF + Foam Rolling.
I got home early today, and got right to the workout. I was thinking to do an intense but short cardio routine today, but since mid-week or there about, my body started to feel worn down. I didn't take a mid-week recovery day on Wednesday as planned because of my schedule opening up, so I decided to try to do a recovery routine today heading into my off day. It seems a bit odd to me to do a recovery day just before an off day, but five straight days of high intensity workouts, I figure, why not. I mean, my body is feeling worn down, so why not give it some dessert before a rest.
Today's X3 Yoga didn't have any big problems as far as the flexibility moves or balance moves. There were small problems, but nothing that knocked me over. Right Half-Moon was better than the Left, Crow was a little weak, CRUSHED the Wrap and the Triangle poses. Hamstrings are still tight, but getting looser. Lower back is releasing a little faster now, but still not able to stand straight up as quickly as before. I'm glad I can touch the floor in a forward hang, though. It was a refreshing routine.
The Flow series felt a lot more solid today for some reason. I was glad to get it done well. The foam rolling was a heaven sent. Focused on the lower body and when finished, my legs felt so refreshed. But it was painful in the moment.
In the end, I only burned 284 kcals, but the hidden benefits are to many to count. Looking forward to my off day! Happy Weekend, Everyone!
