I was supposed to do a resistance workout today, but since I'm planning to play Pickleball tomorrow, I wanted to finish off Combat this week, so today is the only day I can do it.  So my last two days of this week will be cardio days.

It was frigid cold this morning, so it was a no-brainer that I start off with Cold Start.  It gave me the warm up and stretch that Combat doesn't give in their routines, so I was glad.  I started off feeling pretty good, but at the beginning of the routine, I suddenly started to feel a little heavy and I was feeling more spent after each track.  In the warm-up, I was feeling already feeling the burn in my legs and it took me longer to recover and catch my breath after each track.  The track with the Burpees and the Jump Squats especially burned me out.  But the last standing track with the Skaters (Combat calls it something different, but I'm sticking with Tony's word). I got a huge burn from this track.  The final track on the floor was a killer.  I needed some breaks between the moves, but I got through it.

With the main routine short, I had time for a longer ab routine, so I went with Chalene again, but a routine I haven't done in a while.  Boy, did my abs ever get a reminder of how EXTREME Extreme Abs is.  I had to come out of the position a couple times because my abs were just burning.  And I felt that ab contraction for the better part of the morning and into the early afternoon.

I was able to fit in the Flow right at the end and get to work on time, so my day was almost complete.  I did my Splits in the evening so I was happy to finish off the day with a good stretch.

In the end, I torched a nice 800+kcals during the morning session.
