2-01-17 HY: P90X3 - Cold Start + Insanity MAX 30: Friday Fight Round 1 + Power 90 - Ab Ripper 200 + TCF + Splits.
Today ends my first week of MAX 30. I had heard rumors about the Friday Fight Routine and again, I was feeling a little intimidated. But just coming off my near full finish of Tabata Power yesterday, I was also feeling a bit confident. Today's workout took place in the morning, and it was pretty cold, so I decided to add my old faithful warm up. It did it's job.
The warm up in Friday Fight Round 1 is the same warm up that is in an earlier routine so it was familiar to me. Although my calves are feeling much better than they were last Saturday night, this warm up brought out the pain again. So again, I had to do a little modification mid-set until the pain subsided, but the modification only lasted for 10 to 15 seconds at the most before I was ready to get back to the normal move. This routine blew me away because of two things, First, the moves in the warm up are only 30 seconds, but once the regular workout began, the moves were all ONE MINUTE. Doesn't sound like much??? That is HUGE!!! I felt the difference right away, and although I don't remember the first few moves, I remember that feeling of, "I'm not going to make it!". Second, MUCH LONGER first round. I think that first round was like 10 minutes. Then, even though the rounds got shorter after that, the breaks were only 30 seconds. My MAX OUT time was 8 minutes. I actually thought I could go further, but unconsciously my body took over and I couldn't move. I was trying to learn a new move, the Wide In & Out's with Knee Touch. I started doing the move then something felt off and my coordination felt weird so I stopped to check the move again, and when I tried to start up, I realized how heavy I was breathing and that I was dead tired. So I just knelt for a moment. After that move, I had to take a few moments break after each move. Just about 10 -15 seconds. But again, one minute of moves like Power jumps, or High Knee Tucks. My range of motion was terrible. I was barely able to get my legs up. And since this is my first time through, I wanted to learn all the new moves, so I rewound the DVD so I could do the whole move. Next time, I'll run it straight through if I can. Near the end, I started to feel a little sick, so I lessened my range of motion and slowed down. But I got through it. Great routine, but KILLER STUFF!!!
Tomorrow is a rest or Pulse day, and the day after that is my off day. I didn't want to go two days without Abs, so I did a little bonus abs with a quickie routine from Power 90, the 80's Original. I got a huge burn from it. Happy to get it done.
Then, I did the Flow. I didn't have time for the Splits training this morning, but I will did it in the evening after work. I'm glad I got everything done.
In the end of the morning session, I torched a nice 1032kcals. A few hundred more than I usually do in a longer workout.
