November 18, Sunday - Koosh Speed Catch + Chin-Up Challenge + Walking + T25 - Alpha: Cardio + 3x Abs + Free Weights Upper Body + TCF.

Today is normally a tennis day, but the venue was changed and was connected to a social event after the practice which would last all day, so I decided not to go.  I was almost going to just relax all day, but near the early evening I was driven to get active, or actually made to get active by my daughter who wanted to play, so we started to play Koosh Speed Catch and that got my juices flowing for some activity.  After the catch, I went and di the Chin-Up Challenge and that got the juices flowing even more.  I was honestly thinking to not do anything else, but I did, but not right then.  My wife wanted to go and bring the car to get checked out and participate in their promotion campaign.  On our way home we passed by a park and my wife wanted to take a walk, so we did and walked the walking course laid out at the park.  When I got home, I really wanted to do something so I got into the T25.  Went with Cardio, and this was the best run I've done of T25 in a long time.  The most painful progression, right at the very beginning, I didn't modify, but rather really powered through it.  From then on, it was easy.  Yes, I crushed it and did a Straight 25.  Then I felt like mixing it up, so I downloaded three images from Pinterest for core/abs and tried them all out, one set each.  The routines are below.

 I did the Body Weight Abs first, then the Ball, then the Dumbbell routine.  Just one set each, but as you can see, there are a few repeat moves, like the Roman Twist.  Killer on the abs, for sure.  These actually took a long time, but I still wanted to do Upper Body Weights, so I got that in as well.  All the standard moves for the Biceps, Triceps, Shoulders, Back, and Chest.  I got a really good pump and burn. 

I finished off with a Flow Series, but this was probably the worst I've even done the Flow since learning it.  I kept getting a mental block at the spot on the right side.  On the left side, I was fine, but on the right, the transition was just gone.  I sort of got it back after several tries and re-starts, but I got it, but not so convincingly.  But I got it done.

In the end, I burned 1036 kcals.  A pretty good burn for a non-tennis day.
