May 21, Leg Day with Tony, a new routine for me.

May 21, 2019, Tuesday:  One-on-One with Tony Horton, Vol. 1, Workout 1 - Plyo Legs + ChaLEAN Extreme - Extreme Abs + Shoulder Care Yoga + TCF.

Today is Leg day.  I was going to do the Tony Horton leg routine I did before from Volume 3, but I found one in Volume 1.  It was Plyo, so I thought I would start it and if it was too hard on my ankle from all the jumping, I'd stop and then do the Volume 3 routine.  As it turns out, it wasn't that hard as far as high impact stuff like Insanity, it was almost the same as the P90X routine Plyometrics X.  A lot of the same moves, a few new moves, and a few amped up old moves.  So, I finished the routine.  But I was afraid I wouldn't near the middle of it.  It as tough and my legs were starting to cramp and give out.  Luckily, the last few moves were a little easier so that was motivation to finish it out.  There was no worksheet for this routine so I couldn't really keep a record of my rep count, but I pretty much kept up with Tony except for a couple of moves where I did 5-10 fewer reps.  It was a very tough routine.  We'll see how I feel tomorrow.

The biggest thing with this workout was the fact that there are a lot of moves where I have to bend over and touch the ground and stand back up.  By the middle of the workout, my lower back was just screaming out.  So much so that I had to stop and lay down on my rumble roller to relieve the tension.  I had to do that for a few minutes every few moves with bending over.  But I got through it.

My legs were fried, but I felt good enough to do Chalene's Extreme Abs.  I had to tap out a few times, but I did my best to breathe through the burn.

In the end, I burned a good 892 kcals.
