3-04-17 HY: Insanity MAX 30 - Cardio Challenge + Ab Attack: 10 + Splits + TCF.

I took my regular day off on Friday.  I wanted to do a workout, but I got home from work later than I had hoped and so I had to take the day off.  So, Saturday night, tonight starts my workout week.  I'm still feeling week, but better and a little stronger than the previous days so I decided to start Week 4 of the schedule with partial modifying and hopefully work my way up to finish off week for in the schedule.  Then, start Month 2 from next week.

Partial modification today.  So I planned to only modify the "Jacks" moves and the "Jump" moves.  Everything else I'd try at regular mode.  I was able to get through the Warm Up pretty well, only modifying the first two moves, but the last three moves as regular moves.  I could feel my legs starting to burn already.  For every circuit after that, I modified only the predetermined moves and I started to really sweat at the 10 minutes mark.  One reason for the modification was to protect myself from shaking my head too much, causing me dizziness.  That is the biggest obstacle to going full intensity.  The other obstacle is my loss of strength.  So, I am trying to get those back gradually.  I was feeling pretty sore today, but again, only on my left side, and that soreness is localized in my left glute area.  I'm not really sure why that is.  But once I got started, I didn't feel all that sore anymore.  On Thursday, I got hit by dizziness around the half-way point of the routine, but today, I started feeling dizzy around the 22-23 minute mark.  So I'm lasting longer with a little bit of shaking.  Hopefully, I can get rid of all the dizziness by tomorrow.  Then I'll start with regular intensity again.

I went right into Abs.  This routine also, I decided to modify the sitting moves and do the regular plank moves.  I got through the whole routine pretty well, but I kind of slowed way down during the Sprinting C-Sit move.  I think it's move 7.   Ab strength is still way down.  But I think I'm going to have to push it a little more next time.

Splits went well, but I definitely didn't break any records today.  The off day did a lot to tighten up my legs again.  So I'll have to push harder to get back.  My Flows were all good.

In the end, everything took 135 minutes, and I torched a respectable 915kcals.  An okay way to start off the week, but I'm pushing to get passed this rehabbing stage.
