Today is Thanksgiving Eve in the USA and Labor Day in Japan, so, I had the day off. But I had no plan to do anything today so that is pretty much what happened, nothing. My daughter had gone out with her friends so my wife and I were in our "Empty Nest". So, we just relaxed most of the day. We called my parents, watched some TV, talked, snacked (on nuts and small cookies). It was a very relaxing day. Finally, around 5pm, I got off my butt and started getting ready for my workout.
I wanted to do a resistance workout, but since my triceps and shoulders were still pretty sore, I looked for a full body routine that wouldn't focus on any one sore part, so I went back to P90X3. It ended up being the perfect workout because it was total body. But since I was still feeling that soreness, I began with Cold Start to not only warm up, but to loosen up my sore muscles. Worked as advertised! The first move was Push-Ups with Side Arm Balance. Luckily, it wasn't Military or Triceps Push-Ups or it would have been brutal. With my arms wider in the standard position, I was able to avoid a lot of pain. The non-weighted moves early on were fine, but the ones at the end were brutal. The final non-weighted move was the most brutal. Warrior Squat Moon. Again, my Half-Moon was unstable and I couldn't hold the pose steady for a good solid static pose. In and fall out. The first 4 reps were totally fine and easy, but the 5th rep brought on a whole new burn and I couldn't take in after the 6th rep. I had to tap out and shake it out. By then I could only fit one rep before Tony called time. Exactly the same thing on the other side.
As for the weighted moves, I felt good, so on a few moves, I upped the weight from the previous run which was about 4 months ago. Specifically Move #6, #11, and #13. But rep counts were down a bit. I didn't get a huge pump, but I felt it coming. I felt really good on the Chin-Up Circle Crunch. Got the highest rep count on this worksheet. But the Pull-Up followed suit. Maybe my biceps are starting to catch up. That'd be nice. I finished to workout off with a good series of Flows.
In the end, I burned over 750kcals. So I was satisfied!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Push Play Today!!!
