2-16-17 HY: Insanity MAX 30: Friday Fight Round 1 + ChaLEAN Extreme - Extreme Core Circuit + Weights - Back + Splits + TCF.
Unlike last week, no time crunch because I got home with plenty of time to spare and use for my workout. No one was at home when I got home, so I got right to it.
Friday Fight is the most grueling routine of this first month BY FAR!!! Doing moves for 20 seconds, or 30 seconds is nothing compared to doing a move for 60 seconds. Time seems to stand still on the most difficult and intense moves. My max out time the previous two time were 8 minutes, and 11:03. So my first goat, of course, was to get passed that point. My next goal was to get to the first break without a break. I'm happy to say that I NAILED BOTH GOALS!!! I went far beyond the last time's time, and I made it to and crushed the half-way point. Happy Happy! I really pushed myself today, hard. My MAX OUT time was 16:34. The move that killed me today was the 2 Jabs & 2 Knee Tuck Jumps. When I tried to do the first rep, my legs did the Jack move, but I couldn't even get my arms up to jab. I was done. But not before I totally CRUSHED IT!!! The first move after the first break was Speed Hit the Floor. I was actually surprised that I got through that without a break because that is usually my nemesis move. But I crushed it today. But I think that that move totally zapped my energy. Now, once I hit my first MAX OUT break, my goal then becomes to complete each move. I was so spent that I needed about 30 seconds between each move, but I completed the entire minute of each move. But at the end of each move after the 17 minute mark, I needed a break. The last few moves took almost a minute. I just couldn't catch my breath. But I was so happy to get passed my previous time.
Again, I didn't want to go two days without doing any Abs, so I went back to an old faithful for a bonus routine. I used the 2kg hand weights and it was burning. Still a great routine that brings the burn.
I wasn't able to do weights the last couple of days, so I definitely had to do it today. So today, I got the weights and the pull up bar because tonight was all about pulling. So, I did the same mini program, 3 moves 3 sets each 12 reps per set. The first move was Pull Ups. The first two sets were good, but the third set was VERY tough. On the last 8-9 reps, I had to do a lot of kipping up. The next move was Forward Leaning Rows. I was using 12.5kgs. That was tough. But breathing and pulling hard got me through. The final move was Lat Pull Overs. The first two sets I used 14.5kgs and on the last set, I used 17kgs. I was really focusing on activating the back. And I really felt it on that last move with the heavy weight.
Splits and Flow were again, on point. Got through them well.
In the end, I torched a beautiful 1355kcals. Cardio and weights combo burns those calories!
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!
