11-06-15 HY: Insanity:The ASYLUM-Speed & Agility + TCF.
I was looking for a cardio routine to finish out the week and since I finished Insanity, I figured I'd step it up and go with Asylum. Yeah, that sure was a huge step up. I added about 15 minutes to the routine itself because since it has been a long time since I did this routine, I didn't remember all the progressions, so on a lot of the moves, I had to watch first then rewind and then start. Also, from 20 minutes remaining point, I was dying at the end of each move so I took a little extra time to recover. Nothing really new except for the addition of the jump rope and agility ladder to focus the moves. Not new, but a lot more intense. Major burn to be sure. Sweat like crazy!!! Also, one thing that made this routine a lot more difficult was the fact that my legs were absolutely killing me from yesterdays BB:BLegs workout. To be more precise, my glutes were/are rather sore and moving them in the manner required for this Asylum routine was extremely difficult. I wonder if I could have done better had I not been so sore. But, as the adage goes, "No Pain, No Gain". If that is true, I gained a ton, or lost a ton, or... wait. Well, you know what I mean.
Well, Yeah, my legs and butt were sore, very sore, and by extension, my hip flexors. So, I opted NOT to do splits today and rather do them after one day of rest from them and I'll do them tomorrow, on the day which is usually my off day. So that works out nicely. But I did do the Flow, and it was smooth and clean. Does wonders to get me out of the zone and calm me down.
In the end, I torch a week ending 960kcals! Happy Weekend, everyone!
