SUPER BOWL SUNDAY, BABY!!!

I took the day off from work so I could participate in the annual ritual of Super Bowl Sunday.  The game is broadcast live here in Japan from 8:00am.  So I had to get up a little earlier than I normally would have.  The game actually started around 8:30am which was a little after I got up so I was able to see the opening kick off.  What an awesome game!  The other great thing is that for the first time, my son watched the game with me.  Or actually, he started watching from the second half.  He got up later than I did.  I watched all the interviews and such afterwards, and then I watched the highlights on the internet.  I was glad to share such a great experience with my son.  This was my son's first ever Super Bowl.  After all the excitement died down, I got to thinking about getting ready for my workout.

Today was Sweat Intervals.  Last week's max out time was 11:16.  So I really wanted to go further than that.  And I did!  I can feel my endurance increasing little by little and my times are getting better.  Today, my MAX OUT time was 17:34.  When we started the move, I attempted one rep, then quit.  I was just spent.  The move involved the most intense cardio move for me, Power Jumps + Squat Push Up.  I was just so beat, I could barely get my legs up, and then they wouldn't go up.  After that first break, I was still able to string together a few moves before needing another break, but the last two circuits, I was just so spent, that I needed to take a 5-10 second break after each move.  Luckily, there was no "Challenge" at the end of the workout.  Great routine!  I have to push myself further next time.

I moved right into Abs.  MAX OUT time was 4:44.  I think I got a few seconds further this time.  But those Scissor Kick Punches,  I couldn't keep my legs off the ground.  Got a huge burn several times during the routine.  It really got me good.  Glad it's only 10 minutes.  I don't know how much longer I could go.

The Splits and Flow were right on.  I added several yoga stretches to my stretch regime. The most painful one was Frog.  Held it for almost two minutes, and had to S-L-O-W-L-Y come forward and out.  I have to do more to maintain the muscle stretch or my starting point will always be the same. 

In the end, I torched a nice 1330+kcals.  I little longer with the Abs and the extra stretch moves.
