8-17-15 HY: Insanity-Plyometric Cardio Circuit + Splits + TCF.

It has been over a year since I did the Insanity program.  I've done routines here and there, but it has sort of sat on the back burner since the shorter routine programs came out, along with Asylum.  But I have dubbed this session of the Hybrid Old School so I'm going back to P90X and Insanity.  The two programs that started me on the Beachbody journey. 

Today's routine was supposed to be the easy one.  Intense, but easy. NO WAY!!!  I knew the warm up was going to be tough, so I had to really grit it out to get through the warm up.  I also started to sweat right when Shaun T noticed himself starting to sweat.  I figured that was a good sign. HA!  Nice long stretch and off we went.  The first circuit was good.  I lasted all three rounds without too much trouble and no extra breaks.  But I knew the second circuit was a lot tougher.  In hind sight, that was an understatement. Starting with Basketball drills, the plyo kicked into high gear. Level One Drills were hard, mainly because my arms were still rather sore from yesterdays resistance.  Especially my triceps for some reason.  But I gutted it out and got through.  But when Shaun T started the Ski Abs, I had to take a break.  For all three rounds of the second circuit, I HAD TO take a break before Ski Abs, AND In and Outs.  Just a quick breather, but that little break was necessary.  I took a little break before the Level One Drills in the third round as well.  It was a TOUGH routine, but it energized my mind.  My body was dead, but I felt great in my head.

It was nice to do the Splits stretch and Flow.  Again, I took some extra time to push the Splits harder.  I'm feeling the need to step up the training so since I have the time, I'm adding time to each move and soon, I'll add a whole extra round.  I'm still on the quest to do a fast and smooth Flow under 1 minute for both sides, and I was close today.  Just about a second over.  I'm almost there.

In the end, I torched a solid 830+Kcals!  That is a good number for me!
