November 8, Thursday - HY: T25 - Alpha: Lower Body Focus + Ab Intervals + Free weights Upper Body + Chin-Up Challenge + TCF.

No night class tonight for the second week in a row so I was able to do a full workout.  So I decided to do something a little different.  I did the Lower Body Focus, and I totally nailed it!  Even though I was able to do a Straight 25, I didn't do the full routine without modifying.  There was one move that I just couldn't do because my calves and arches are still way too weak.  I just couldn't do even one hop of the Single Leg Hops.  Instead of the hops, I just did what the modifier did, which was calf raises.  Both legs are still not able to handle hopping with my body weight.  There was just too much pain in my arches.  Other than that, Killed it!

I decided to change things up a bit and did a Double Shaun T today.  I had forgotten what Ab Intervals was like so instead of ChaLEAN Extreme, I stuck with Shaun T for my ab work.  I was already bushed from Lower Body Focus, so I couldn't keep up with Shaun's pace.  I consistently missed the first few reps because I was so slow getting up off the floor.  My V-Sit was pretty poor to say the least.  But I have to keep working at it to get back to where I was and beyond.  I was bushed when it was all done.

But I still had my upper body to take care of.  I did the same basic sets, just doing a little switch up with regular curls with alternating hammer curls.  Little variations like that but stuck with the primary muscle groups.  I got a good pump and burn.

Finished off with a good Chin-Up set for the Chin-Up Challenge and good Flow series.

I got a good burn with 855 kcals.  It was a good day for working out.
