10-23-15 HY: Insanity- MAX Interval Circuit + Splits + TCF.
Okay, I almost regret doing this one today. Mainly because so many unexpected things happened which interrupted my workout in little chunks and pieces. But it was a great workout.
I made it through the warm up with no problems and non-stop, but I could feel the burn already coming on. Especially in my biceps for some reason! Thank goodness the final round of the warm up is halftime or it might have been too much. Thank goodness the first round of each circuit is a little longer with some extra time between each move to teach. But today, I was taking extra breaks all over the place. I nailed the push ups which I'm very happy about, but throughout the whole workout, the ache soreness in my biceps grew with each punch and each air curl (on moves such as the High Knee Twist). Still feeling it from yesterday. I ended up adding 17 minutes to the workout. But several of those minutes, I'm not sure how much, were because of telephone calls, people coming to the door, more telephone calls, and more people dropping by. I was like, "Can't you see the sweat literally dripping off my face and my gasping for air as I open the door?" But I got to introduce Insanity to one person that asked what kind of workout I was doing. I also, really tried to focus on form and flexing my abs/core when necessary. I was thinking of doing a short ab routine afterwards initially, but after the first circuit, I was like, NO WAY! So instead, I really focused on the core.
A few more interruptions later, I finally got to start the Splits. Good stretch and got down to the bar. I have to keep pushing to the pain to get past the pain.
The was absolutely TERRIBLE today! Yep, it happened again. I was in a different place today, just downstairs, but I guess I got disoriented of sorts and totally forgot the Flow order. I had to restart several times because I forgot what my hands were supposed to do, then when I was supposed to step, and this was on both sides. After some very slow and thinking Flows, I finally got it back and finally got oriented to the new surroundings. But still had the twinge of apprehension to the end. Never felt quite comfortable with the Flow today despite getting through it.
That not withstanding, it was a great workout. And in the end, I torched over 1300kcals. Great way to slide into the weekend and my off day. I fell like I really earned it.
