For day 2 it was the Legs 50-50 workout from the "Before Lift-4" workouts and the corrective hips routine in 645.
The Lift 4 workout was, as the title suggests, one that is half lifting and half cardio. The lifting portion of the workout consists of two blocks of work in which you do two leg exercises, back to back. In the first block, you alternate between front-loaded squats and deadlifts. In the second block, you do goblet squats (sumo squats holding one weight in front of you) and calf raises. For the cardio portion, you do three sets of two moves, soccer runs and low squats in which you stay in a squat position then hop to face one side, back to the front, and then to the other side. Then you finish off the workout with three sets of a core-focused move, specifically side planks, holding it for 30 seconds on each side. Again, the workout goes very quickly and you are working cardio the entire time because there is very little rest between sets. This is more similar to what the "regular" Lift 4 workouts are like than yesterday's workout, just a bit shorter.
The corrective hips routine was actually a routine that included work (foam rolling) the hips and the lats, as well as doing some squats with the foam roller between the wall and your back. Amoila does a good job breaking down what every move in the routine helps with or helps to correct, and he stresses that you can foam roll longer than the 30 seconds per move that they are doing.
