10-11-16 HY: Combat HIIT 2 Shock Plyo + ChaLEAN Extreme - Extreme Abs + Splits + TCF.

Normal day, so I got home and a decent time and was able to relax a bit before hitting the gym (second floor of my house) for my workout.  But the only reason I could do that was because I knew that this workout would be a little shorter than the resistance routines.  It was a welcome respite from the longer workouts.

I had sort of forgotten what Shock Plyo was like, and if I had remembered before I started, I probably would have changed it to something else.  Yesterday was Bulk Legs and today, Shock Plyo???  Is that crazy or what???  My legs started to burn with the warm up.  The squats and lunges just rocked my legs.  But I was actually surprised that I was able to get all the way through the routine.  I was also surprised that I was able to do all the push ups in the last track.  I was sore, but not so sore as to get on my knees.  The Combat HIIT routines are great.  Since my knee was a bit gimpy, I thought that this routine would hurt it a bit, but it didn't.  There was a little push, but I wore my strap brace and that was enough.  But when I do the other martial arts routines, that hurts my knee a lot.  So, I think that I will just finish out this program, the last three weeks, and then sort of lay off the fighting programs.  I want to use the newest addition to my workout program library, Insanity - MAX 30 for my cardio days next.  Probably will start that next month or December.  I may hold off until the new year just to start something new in the new year.  Anyway, I really liked this routine and I sweat a ton.  Burned a ton of calories as well.

I moved right into abs and I can feel my ab strength increasing through the diminishing pain as I progress through the routine.  At the beginning of the week, I was totally dying,  I could barely get my legs around on the Clock Work.  Now, I can do it and circle lower.  All around, my strength is returning to my core.

Splits and Flow were good all around as well.

In the end, I torched a solid 800+kcals with this workout.  But this was four brutal days in a row because of my newly adjusted schedule.  Really need that recovery day tomorrow.
