2-13-17 HY: Insanity MAX 30: Sweat Intervals + Ab Attack: 10 + Weights: Chest + Splits + TCF.
Got home a little later than usual, but I wasn't able to start my workout right away because my son had a friend over. I don't like working out when people I don't know are here. But when it became evident that the guest would be at home for a while, I had to bite the bullet and start my workout before it got too late.
This is my third round for Sweat Intervals. My previous max out time was 17:34 at the Power Jump + Squat Push Up. I really wanted to push past that mark and go all the way. I was close, but I didn't quite make it. Today's MAX OUT time was 25:56. I just finished the Burpee Lunge move, the first move in the final circuit. But I could barely move my legs once the Speed Hit The Floor started. But getting that deep into the routine doesn't mean that the path there was easy. There were several times that I almost tapped out. But luckily, when that feeling hit, it was just seconds before moving on to a good move, or a break. It was a killer routine that had me doubled over every break. But good breathing techniques really helped me to recover quickly so I could start each circuit with Shaun T. In the final circuit, the first two passes the second move is the Speed Hit The Floor. But for some reason, Shaun T switches it up on the last round and makes Speed Hit The Floor the first move. I was also able to string 2-3 moves together to minimize the extra breaks. My legs were burning at the end, and I felt like I was going to cramp up in my inner thighs for some reason. Great workout! Great and sweaty!
I moved right into Abs. This time, the Leg Raise Punches were a lot better than last time, I didn't totally die during that move, and I powered through almost to the end. My MAX OUT time was 8:04. That sitting Ab Attack with raised legs was a killer, I didn't even get my legs up as well as I could have, should have. I put my legs up, then they came down just seconds later. But this is the furthest I've gotten so I was happy. I still grimaced and moaned through out, but I got through.
Today, weights were for Chest. I did only three moves this time, but 3 sets at 12 reps for a fixed weight. The moves and weights were: Chest Press at 17kgs, Chest Flies at 12.5kgs, Green Band Cross Upper Cuts with the Green bands. My shoulder was still in pain, but I powered through, protecting my shoulder the whole time. I had a great workout, and almost cramped out my pecs.
The Splits and Flow were good. Not as much Hip Flexor pain today, so I should go harder next time.
I made a stupid mistake again. I forgot to start my HRM. I didn't notice until after the main workout was finished. So I started it from that point. Kind of good that I did so I could measure the productivity of all the staff. So the calorie burn was from the cool down on. So without the Insanity MAX 30 workout, I could know just about how much we would be paid for this. So, the total calorie burn is listed below.
In the end, I torched 755kcals. That number is not including Sweat Intervals. But I'm sort of glad this happened. So now we know what will happen next time. So, if I average in the main workout, the total would be over 1000kcals for this workout.
Welcome to the new direction for this blog. In it, I will post my experiences and thoughts related to the sport of Pickleball and my efforts to grow Pickleball in the Prefecture of Kagoshima located in the southernmost tip of mainland Japan. I hope to post pictures and videos of the activities and events that are held in Kagoshima. And one day, hopefully, you will come and play some Pickleball with us! Please comment if you visit!
