Quite an odd day today. As you can see, the order of my workout is somewhat out of whack. The reason is this; everything started out normally. As I was getting ready to start my workout, I turned on my computer and got Cold Start running and I was following along. Then a notification popped up on the monitor asking me if I wanted to update something. Since I was moving, I couldn't see what it was really asking. So, at the end of Cold Start, I just clicked "YES". Then the process started. I didn't think it would take too long, but then I realized that it was updating my whole OS, and it ended up taking almost half an hour. During that time, I did the 3 moves (Side Plank, Skaters, and the new one, Plyo Lunges). The new move, Plyo Lunges, really worked my glutes. In the time, I got 40+ reps per side. Good lower body work. Balancing my upper body workout. I got my Dead Hang in as well. Went for 2 minutes today. I tried to use towels to pad my hands, but it didn't work as I had envisioned it. Even though the towels were on the existing padding, it was still too slippery, and I ended up ditching the towels after my first tap out. My grip just gave out, especially on my right side, the side I thought was my stronger side. But it turns out that I have more burn in the right forearm than the left. Anyway, the split was as follows in seconds: 60-30-20-10. Those last 5 seconds were the most brutal thus far. The OS Update was still going on after all that so I decided to do my Flow series as well. Everything was fine, but no computer. I didn't have the time to mess around, so I just started the routine on my own.
Major changes from last time have to do with the Pull-Ups. Last time I used a ladder to rest my feet on, but this time, I went with the green assistance band, and it was great. Doing a workout in silence is not really fun at all. I was able to remember all the moves, except move 3. Military Press. I wasn't sure if that was on my back like a chest press, or something else. So I just went with a Chest Press and I upped the weight to 14.5kgs. Everything went as before, in straight sets that were reps of 10. I was on move 10. Staggered Push-Ups when the upload finally finished. So, I got the DVD running. I did the Tony warm up at the beginning, then I jumped the DVD to the next move, move 11. Lateral/Anterior Raise. On the worksheet, I changed the notation of some move reps. On moves that were previously "10" and now "5-5", basically that means that it was a move where one leg/foot was in front of the other in a lunge stance. I did 5 reps with the right leg forward, and then 5 reps with the left leg forward. That worked out my lower body as well. I was really feeling pumped after this workout. I felt the 40% gains. Huge pump and burn. Felt good to start my day with an intense workout.
In the evening, I got my Ab EMS in. I was skeptical, but I'm slowly becoming a believer.
In the end, I burned 792kcals. A little disappointed that I couldn't hit that 800 mark, but I know there are other more important things to consider.
