3-07-17 HY: Insanity MAX 30 - Tabata Strength + Splits + TCF.

I was requested yesterday to get my workout done early today so we could have a family night.  So, once I got home, I got right to it.

I went into this routine not thinking anything.  Just do it!  I got through it with no breaks.  The last time I did it on Sunday, I also got through it with no breaks.  But if I compare the two sessions, today's workout was tougher than Sunday's.  The circuit with the V-Push Up Hold was a lot more taxing.  The Diamond Push Ups almost took me out.  I would have crashed out on them if the move was 30-seconds instead of 20-seconds for sure.  That "Beep-Beep-Beep-PEEEEEE" is probably the sweetest sound I heard today.  Then, in the ending Three Minute Challenge, again, the Suicide High Oblique High Knee almost took me out.  But I made it through the routine without any breaks.  My triceps were feeling so pumped at the end and my shoulders were burning.  Good workout.

I moved right into the Splits training.  Pretty much the same stuff except this time, I added one more round for a total of three rounds of Side Splits and Straddle Splits stretches.  I usually only do two rounds, but adding 10 minutes on made a huge difference.  I definitely was able to go lower and even experienced a little less pain going down.  But still felt the pain at the lowest point of each stretch.  So, if I can spare the time, I definitely will have to add that third round to go harder and further on the splits.  The ending Flow was on point.  Good ending.

In the end, after 102 minutes, I torched...  Actually, today, I don't know how many calories I torched off today because I sent my Polar HRM to the maker to get the battery changed.  I wish I could just change the battery at a local watch shop, and I actually tried once, but when the guy saw the make of the watch, he promptly said that he couldn't do it and that it had to be sent to the maker.  So, since the numbers started flickering on the display yesterday, and the numbers would disappear for a moment when I pushed any button, I decided to go ahead and send it in.  I knew I'd have to, so today was the day.  But I tried to use my Pedometer today and as for my step count, I got 1959 steps ran for just about 1km in 15 minutes, burned 105kcals and lost 2.5 grams.  I had my Pedometer in my front shirt pocket so I am not sure how well it "shook".  But I would guess that I burned a little more than 105kcals.  So, I won't have an accurate calorie burn count for maybe two weeks.  I don't know why it takes so long to get a battery changed, but what can I do?

I'm just happy that I got all four regular Month One Workouts COMPLETE with NO BREAK!  Tomorrow I have Pickle-Ball, but on Thursday, I have Friday Fight Round One up.  No intimidation! I'll just do my best!
