1-30-17 HY: Insanity MAX 30: Sweat Intervals + Ab Attack: 10 + Splits + TCF.

Another new routine today.  With a name like "Sweat Intervals" it can't be anything but intimidating.  My calves are still a bit tender, so the warm up with all those jumping moves was painful, and when it got too painful, I switched to the modifier's moves for a few seconds, but I didn't stop.  To me, it is not a MAX OUT if I'm not tired.  So, I am not counting that switch to modifier a MAX OUT.  The five circuits after the warm up were fun.  Since it was the first time, there were a few moves that I had to watch and learn before doing the move.  I also don't consider that a MAX OUT even though I wasn't technically moving with Shaun T.  I was happy that there wasn't a circuit like the Push Up Circuit in Tabata Power yesterday, and I guess tomorrow.  Yesterday, my MAX OUT time was 11:00.  Today, my MAX OUT time was 11:16.  I couldn't even start the move yesterday, but today, I got about 10 seconds into the move before my body just stopped.  But I was still good to go.  I lasted another 9 minutes before I started to need an longer break between circuits, and then in the last one and two-thirds circuits, I had to take a small break at the end of every move.  I was WHIPPED!  That was such a tough and intense routine, but the moves were fun, so I had a good time, and it didn't seem too long.

I found that the other disc in month 2 with Ab Attack:10 is also defective, so I have only one out of four discs with a working Ab Attack: 10.  But one is all I need.  On Saturday night, I maxed out at :46 seconds.  That first move for a whole minute was just too brutal right off.  So, today, I cheated a bit.  I did the first move in the modified style, then went to regular style for the rest of the moves.  Doing that, my MAX OUT time was 4:24.  I almost went a half way.  I was happy for that.  But I want to get to the point where I can do a non-modified first move.  Also, on the last move, the Ab Drum, instead of tapping out every 15 seconds, I tapped out every 20 seconds, so only three breaks.  Already some improvement.

I took a lot of time today to stretch and push my splits as low as possible.  I'm trying to stretch my hip flexors and hamstrings at all angles so I am doing more ballistic shifting on the stretches.  Brought the pain today.  Flows were awesome!

In the end, I torched a good 1187kcals.  The title is only half right,  Yes, I certainly did Sweat, but not in intervals, I was sweating the entire time!!!
