Saturday, Saturday Night is supposed to be an off day for me, but due to a very weird schedule this week, I might have to take an off day on Wednesday, of all days.  So, I'm going to go through this week until Wednesday and see what happens after that.  So today, I start Month TWO of MAX 30.  I know that the routines are going to be Crazy-Amped-Up if compared to Month One, but I didn't know how.  Just let me say right off that I am so glad and relieved that at least in the first routine, the time of each move wasn't increased to 60-seconds like in Friday Fight Round One.  Most of the moves stayed at 30-seconds, but there was the addition of the Power Move which is 60-seconds.  I was a little taken off guard when the first Power Move came up at the end of the warm up.  I was like, "WHAT IS THIS???"  And on the time bar, I just assumed there were six circuits like before, but I discovered that there are actually only five circuits because of the Power Move.  When I realized that, I was happy to get one less circuit.  It's ALL Thirty Minutes!

My first time through this routine and I wasn't holding any expectations.  I was just wanting to do my best and go to the point where my body wouldn't move anymore from exhaustion.  Well, I found that point.  My MAX OUT TIME is 19:10.  That Lunge Punch Left side.  I forget the move before it, but that move just killed me and when the Lunge Punch started up on the Left side, my body just quit moving.  I needed to take a break and get some water.  I was also wishing I had been paying more attention to the clock, because I may have been able to go to 20-minutes if I had known I was at 19-minutes.  But at the same time, as I said, my body just quit.  There was no "Willing" myself forward this time.  My legs were burning as well as my shoulders.  There were some new moves so I was happy to learn them.  I particularly hated the Genie Tuck Jump. LOL!  There were a few other new moves, but I can't remember their names at the moment.  But this routine just totally drained me, but at the end, I felt good to have gotten through it.

I moved right into the Ab Attack.  This time, in Month Two, I am not compromising form.  No more half modified moves.  It is all or breaking.  And it happened early today.  My MAX OUT TIME was 5:28.  It was that Switch Kick Punch move.  Almost half-way through, my abs were totally burning, my range of motions was suffering and my knees were bending almost making me touch the ground so I tapped out.  I did worse on the Ab Attack and the Ab Punch Hold.  Ab Attack was divided into two 30-second halves, and the Ab Punch Hold was divided into three twenty-second parts.  I went for it and paid the price, the price of Pain. The intense BURN!

Moving into Splits, I had a hard time because my hip joints were especially sore today.  Maybe from the tennis the day before, but splits were hard and painful.  I could go only two rounds.  No records, but stayed the course.  Flows were good as always.

This was a tough day, but I had a good time with the new routine and learning some new moves and pushing myself further than I thought I could go.
