11-29-17 (Wednesday) HY: P90X3 - Cold Start + T25 - Alpha: Speed 1.0 + TCF.

Very disappointed today because I wasn't able to play tennis.  I was looking forward to playing because the venue was a new place for me.  Unfortunately, it rained all day and was still raining in the afternoon.  Eventually, I got word that it was moved to the indoor facility and, again, because it was a last minute reservation, we could only get one hour.  So, I decided not to go because it wouldn't have been worth the drive and all the effort just for one hour.  Most of it would have been just warming up anyway.  So, I decided to just stay home and do a regular workout.

I was thinking of doing either an X3 or T25 cardio routine.  But I knew I was going to need to start off with a good warm up.  So, I began with Cold Start.  Everything was fine through the jogging and pivoting move, but once I started doing the Safety Jacks, OH!! THE PAIN!!!  I felt a little sore in my arms and a little in my chest, but nothing too much all day.  But once I started doing the Safety Jacks, moving my arms back and forth just stretched my chest in a different way and it was excruciating!  I wasn't able to raise my arms as high, and that triggered the other muscles to show their soreness.  The push-ups were a pain.  Pretty much everything was putting me in pain.  It weakened a little by the end, but more surprises were coming in the main workout.

The routine was basically good, but the jumping moves put pressure on my chest, so I had to flex as much as possible to keep tight and less "bouncy".  I am thankful for the stretch intervals.  I originally wanted to do this routine last Friday, but accidentally did Alpha: Cardio.  But it was a blessing in disguise because I wouldn't have been able to handle Cardio today.  I was able to do a straight 25 so I was happy, but the move that killed me the most was the Low Cross Jacks.  My arches were screaming out in the last 30 seconds or so... in the main routine and the Burn Out.  I think I hit a second wind because I was able to get through the toughest part of the Burn Out pretty well.  But I was dogging it. 

I finished off with a good Flow Series.  I'm really getting a good even pace on both sides.

In the end, I burned a modest 507kcals.  Pretty much what I can expect from the shorter routines.
