Morning workout today with a shake.  It's been a while since I last did a morning workout but the moment I woke up, I knew it was going to be tough because it was SO COLD!!!  There was no way I was going to do this routine straight off, so I knew I had to do Cold Start to warm up.  Shaun T's warm ups are a bit too strenuous for me in this cold, so Cold Start is perfect. It starts out slow and takes its time to stretch each part.  But it especially has a good leg stretch taking time to stretch out the calves.

After a good warm up, I felt ready to do the routine and to push my max out time later.  The last time I did this routine, my max out time was 20:15.  I thought I could go all the way, but was shocked by the fact that there is no break, but rather just a recovery move.  But now that I knew what to expect, I was a little more prepared mentally to get through the routine.  I was hitting a good pace right off.  When I got to the move that knocked me out last time, my triceps were dying, but I pushed through.  Once I was able to push through, I felt a little energized and got through a few more moves before I just gave out.  My MAX OUT time was 23:37.  With the extra Push Ups, by the time I got to the Knee Tap & Push Up, I was totally maxed out.  I tapped my knee, but once I went down I couldn't come back up.  But after I recovered a bit, I only needed a couple more breaks.  But I got it done.

I didn't want to go two days without doing any Abs, so I did a little bonus ab work with Ab Ripper 200.  This was the best showing I've had with this routine ever!  Plus, instead of doing just 20 reps, I actually did 25 reps.  Since I've pretty much memorized the sequence, I did the extra 5 reps and didn't take any breaks.  Abs were burning, but I muscled through.

Splits and Flow came after my night class, and everything went as planned.

In the end, I torched 861kcals.  Felt good heading to work with my workout done with the stretch to come.
