11-07-17 (Tuesday) HY: P90X3 - Cold Start + Body Weight Boom + TCF.

Due to another schedule change, I had to do a morning workout today.  There will be several schedule changes in the next few months, so I have to be able to roll with the punches.  Often times, these changes will put pressure on my time, putting me into a time crunch, so I had to choose a program that would allow for flexibility.  I will introduce that program in a bit.  But first, how I started the day.

I was still feeling a bit tired upon waking up.  After a morning shake, I got right to my workout.  My body was still tight, so I decided to do Cold Start.  As billed, it warmed me up and loosened me up, enough to feel ready to start my workout. 

The program I am starting today is called, "Body Weight BOOM".  It is a 30-Day program that is supposed to tone and strengthen.  The first week is made up of two unique routines that are done alternately for 5 days with two rest days.  I will be doing all the routines, but not entirely as scheduled, but rather as fillers for when I don't do either tennis or pickle-ball.  Today's routine, as the other routine this week, consists of 4 moves:  Low-to-High Plank (10 reps on each side for a total of 20 reps), Balance Lateral Toe Touch (10 reps on each side), Scorpions (10 reps on each side), and 1 1/4 Squats (20 reps).  These four moves were done in 5 sets.  The whole routine took just under 30 minutes.  I was fine in the first two rounds, but I started to feel it from the third round.  At the same time, I picked up my pace while keeping form.  I also worked on TUT on all the target muscles for each move.  It was a surprisingly good workout.  I look forward to the rest of the program.

I finished off with a Flow series. 

In the end, I burned only 465kcals, but I finished in under an hour so that was to be expected.  Also, the cooler temperatures added to the lower burn.  It was a good beginning.  Next time though, I will be adding a round or two of pull-ups to maintain that strength.
