27th, Trying the new program, LIIFT 4.

November 27, Tuesday - HY: T25 - Alpha: Total Body Circuit + LIIFT 4 - 50/50 Chest & Tris + TCF.

I was free after work today, so I was able to take the time to do a regular workout.  But actually, it turned out to be almost a double workout.  I started off with the brutal T25 Alpha: Total Body Circuit.  I really wanted to do well with this one, but I ended up needing to take a break a little earlier than usual.  I didn't make it all the way to the Burn out like I did last time.  I ended up taking several breaks before and during the Burnout.  But I took a long enough break so I would be able to blast the move that took me out and forced the break.  But I got through it. 

I wanted to do some Upper Body weights and I was thinking to do it, as usual, just freestyle, but I just got access to Beachbody on Demand so I was browsing their new programs and LIIFT 4 sort of jumped out at me.  LIIFT started out with weights which was exactly what I wanted so I went with the first program.  Basically, it was three rounds of a superset.  And there were three different sets of those for a total of nine sets of moves.  The first two rounds, I kept the same weight, but I went up in weight on the last round.  That weight round took a little over 20 minutes, but it felt longer because of the number of sets.  After the weights, there was a HIIT section.  I went through the first round, but I modified it because I was still tired from the T25.  The final part was abs/core.  I did their moves instead of doing an ab specific routine.  The program was nice, but I was a little put off by the fact that there was no background music.  So it felt like it was missing something.

I did the closer Flow and for the first time in a while, I had no problem with the right Flow.

In the end, I burned a good 1126 kcals.  Good workout today.
