3-02-17 HY: Insanity MAX 30 - Tabata Strength + Splits + TCF.

Day 2 of my rehab.  I am still feeling pretty weak.  On top of that, my hip flexors are really sore today.  Instead of the jumping moves yesterday, the modifier does a lot of Squats, and I think that really got me.  Especially on my left glute.  Very sore and tender over on that side.  Again, I was considering not working out because I was feeling really tired and sleepy when I got home.  Maybe it is the meds I still taking to get rid of some of the residual symptoms, but I really didn't feel like working out today.  But, after a little nap, I felt better and so I got up and got changed.

I was happy that today is off from Abs, so it was supposed to be shorter than usual.  But I also decided to go back and do the regular Splits routine so that brought my time back up.  Tabata Strength was a good routine without the modification.  But my hope today was to get through the whole routine without feeling dizzy or lightheaded.  I started to sweat at the 10-minute mark, but I didn't sweat that much through the whole routine.  I felt good for the first half, but I started to get dizzy around the 17-miinute mark.  It wasn't as strong as yesterday's dizziness, but it was more constant.  So I had to take my pace down.  For the most part, I modified everything, but there was one circuit that I didn't modify because modifying would have just totally missed the point of the move.  So for most of one circuit, I didn't modify.  The circuit was the V-Push Up Circuit.  It starts off with a 4-count up and 4-count down, then the regular V-Push Ups, then the hold.  It really hit my shoulders and triceps.  But that put more pressure on my head, and I think that is what led to my feeling dizzy.  But I will push a little each time so I can start to build that base.

The Splits actually went really well today.  Especially, there was a point during the routine where one set of Straddle splits felt really good and I went really low, I mean new record low.  And then there was another point where the Left Side Splits felt really good and I was able to push to a record low.  Right Side was just normal.  But sometimes I can just push it and at other times, I can't push at all. Weird stuff.  The Flow was good all around.

In the end, after 113 minutes, I torched a modest 585kcals.  That 10-second break for Tabata really showed up today in the calorie burn.

Incidentally, here is my calendar for February.
