2-08-18 (Thursday) HY: T25 - Alpha: Total Body Circuit + TCF + Ab EMS.
As you can seem today was a very odd day. We had entrance exams at my school today and I didn't get home until a lot later than usual. Plus, I had my night class so I have a very limited amount of time. I figured that under the time crunch pressure I was under, trying to do a yoga or stretch routine would be kind of a waste, so I decided to do a quick strength cardio routine. Total Body Circuit was it. I really wanted to do a Straight 25 so I went at it hard.
I started off strong, but then the usual issues started to creep up. Of course the arches and ankles. but luckily, I caught a second wind came and I pushed through. But the biggest problem was not that, but rather, the tiredness of my legs. After a double session yesterday, my legs started to fatigue a lot earlier than usual. Also, on the jumping moves, I just couldn't get the air or the rotation I needed, so my pace was a bit slower than the DVD's. But I think I learned a lesson: Don't do T25 or even Insanity after a double session of anything. It is WAY more brutal than it needs to be. Other than that, I was okay. The Push-Ups were fine, until that last round before the Burnout. The Spider Push-Ups were killing me, and I barely made it to the end, but when the BURNOUT started with the Shoulder Tap Push-Ups, I had to tap out. I stop at the same place every time. But something I realized this time that might help me next time. That first move, Shoulder Tap Push-Ups is only for a bout 15 seconds, not a full 30 seconds like the other moves are. If I can remember that for next time, I may be able to will myself to push through those seconds. I sweat a lot more than I normally would as well. I finished off my short workout with my regular Flow series.
In the end, I burned 443 kcals. About as much as I expected. Got everything in under an hour. My legs were aching during my class. Maybe I should have gone with X3 Yoga. LOL!
