8-09-16 HY: Combat 30 Kick Start + P90X - Ab Ripper X + Splits + TCF.
Started the day with a Shake and then got right into my workout. Morning workouts are great, but my body is still pretty tight upon waking up. And Combat doesn't do much in the way of stretching in the warm up. So I have to stretch with the moves. A very ballistic stretch. This routine starts off easily and then quickly jumps to some intense stuff. So when that transition happens, I have to punch it up a gear or a get left behind. Today, again, to increase the intensity, I used my 1kg weights. I was really feeling it in my arms and shoulders. It was a pain fest. Shoulders and biceps were burning. I had to keep telling myself to keep my guard up, because my hands kept dropping, especially in the waning minutes of the routine. Also, no Air Conditioner today. I started in the morning and it was still not that hot. It definitely wasn't cool, but not too hot. But once I started moving, the sweat started pouring. And just so you know, I was spraying all over the room. It took a while to clean up. But those short intervals really pushed me and before I knew it, the routine was done and I was soaked. Even though this is a beginning level routine, it is still brutal.
I wanted to up the intensity for my abs also, so I went to the next level. Ab Ripper X is way more than the "next" level, but that is next in line, so I went for it. Everything went well, Feeling the burn coming on, getting through all 25 reps. Then my nemesis, "Mason Twist". Bugged out at 40 the last time if memory serves. Today was a different story. Nailed the 50 reps! Even felt like I could go a few more, but stopped at 50, then doubled over. Slayed it! Glad to be back. Got to keep it going and keep it consistent!
Splits were good. Pushed to my mark quickly and added the pain to go past it. Flow was on point.
I was glad to get everything done in one workout.
In the end, I torched 950+kcals. Sweat like a pig!
