May 2, Finishing the week's resistance workouts with another Lower Body routine.

May 2, 2019, Thursday - One-on-One with Tony, Vol. 1: Bun Blaster + P90: Ab Ripper A + Shoulder Care Yoga + Push/Pull Cont. Mini "The Challenge" + TCF.

I'm planning to do Yoga on Friday, so today ends resistance work for the week.  For some reason, I felt the need to do legs again, or at least lower body, so I was looking through the Beachbody on Demand programs and found, a One-on-One with Tony routine called  Bun Blaster.  Actually, it was called "Bun - Shaper" on the workout list, but Tony called it Bun Blaster in the video.  In his intro, he said it was only 9 moves twice so I was again thinking, Huh, not too bad.  Plus, there were no weights, except for a tiny 4 lb. medicine ball.  I used to dread leg day with weights, but this seemed easy.  Well, by the end of the second move, I knew I would be crying out in pain.  Mid-way through the routine I stopped moving and I could feel my leg muscles start to cramp up and tighten.  So I quickly moved and stretched.  Uh-Oh! That was not good.  The nine moves were:

1. Side-to-Side Squats
2. Knee-kick, Back Lunge
3. Side Kicks
4. 8-Card Pick-Up (Squats)
5. Crossover Stepback Lunges (Skaters)
6. Back Kicks (Donkey Kicks)
7. Sitdown Squats
8. Super Lunges (Mary Catherines)
9. Knee to Opposite Elbow, Side Kick

These moves don't seem very tough, and they aren't in their execution, but put them all together and they are a killer lower body workout.  They were done in a variety of rep counts ranging from 10 reps to 40 reps.  for 3/4 of the routine, my legs felt on the verge of cramping so I had to be careful and stretch out when they started to tighten up.

I went with a totally new routine for abs on a program I've never done before, P90.  I didn't do this program because it is sort of an entry-level program so there was an ego thing there.  Ab Ripper A was only like 8 minutes long, but the moves were almost all new and a lot of them worked my core in a different way.  Nice innovation, Tony!

After Shoulder Care Yoga, I started to do some Push-Ups and Pull-Ups.  And I ended up doing half of a "The Challenge" routine.  I did 10 Pull-Ups and 20 Push-Ups twice, then I did 7 Wide Grip Pull-Ups and 20 Wide Push-Ups twice.  That is basically half of a "The Challenge" workout routine.  I felt a good pump in all the right spots.

In the end, I burned a good 903 kcals.  I big burn, but I expected as much from a lower body KILLER routine!  This one is coming again.
