8-07-16 HY: Combat 60 Extreme Cardio Fighter + Power 90 - Ab Ripper 200 + Splits + TCF.

Today was Sunday, but I had a recruiting event at my school so I had to work.  It was one of the major events so I was very busy, plus, I was tapped to do the demonstration class for the prospective students.  And as head of the English course, I was busy running around getting things organized, finding people, all that stuff I'm not used to.  By the end of the day, I was tired, sweaty and so happy to go home.  I rested a bit but since I didn't want to start my workout too late, I didn't rest that long.

My heart sank a bit when I realized that Combat 60 was up.  Since I was already a bit tired, I didn't relish the thought of doing such an intense and long routine.  But that is what was on the schedule so there was no backing out.  Once I got started, I pick up what I can only describe as a second wind of energy because I was revitalized and re-energized!  The Punch and Kick combinations just turned me into a fighting machine.  I was rolling through the routine.  I had finished the "Girls" part and was just about to finish the "Boys" part when my computer crashed and rebooted.  I had trouble getting the DVD to play so I took some time re-rebooting my computer and finally ended up having to use the external DVD drive from my laptop to play the DVD.  I'm going to go buy a new DVD player to connect to my monitor sometime this week so I won't have anymore problems.  During the time I was waiting for my computer to reboot, I was jogging in place, and I even did a set of 15 Chin Ups.  Happy I was able to knock them out. Finally, I was able to play the DVD and restart the routine.  I went back to the middle of the Interval to get warmed up again, and I was back.  Finished out the routine with a high level of energy.  As I said the last time, the way the routine progresses, it seems a lot shorter, and is finishes a lot quicker than one would think.  Just this routine burned over 700kcals.  The final interval, the push ups and ab work interval was killer.  But I stuck with the moves and I got a huge pump in my arms, shoulders, and burned out my abs.

Since I burned out my abs already, I decided to finish off the job with a short but insanely intense ab routine, Ab Ripper 200.  Seems really old school, and it is, but it burns with the best of them.  Pushing range of motion and holding the tension, BURN BURN BURN!!!  I love this routine.  Great supplement to big routines that have ab work embedded.

Splits hurt today, at the beginning, but getting to my mark is getting a lot easier and faster.  Got there today in less than half the time.  But getting there was painful.  Got to keep pushing, I'm almost there.  Flow was great!

In the end, I torched 1098kcals.  Great way to start off my week.
