3-14-17 HY: Insanity MAX 30 - MAX OUT SWEAT + AB ATTACK: 10 + Splits + TCF.

Back to work and back to a regular schedule for a few days.  I got home and was a little tired so I took a little rest and then got to it.

Day 3 of Month 2 of MAX 30 so another first timer.  I didn't know what to expect except for the 60-second power move.  This time, I decided not to go with Cold Start because I wasn't feeling too sore.  I am happy for that because I was afraid I'd be very sore after that long tennis session on Sunday.  Recently, the soreness is heaviest two days after a tough workout.  But I was okay today.  Gladly, the time of each move was back to 30-seconds so I could push to get to the end of each move.  The warm up circuit was fine, and the second circuit was fine.  There were a few cool new moves, but the power move at the end of the third circuit almost took me out.  It was the Suicide Jump Tuck move.  I was about to tap out in the middle of the minute, but I suddenly got a second wind and powered through to the end.  I was actually pretty surprised that I got that extra energy boost, but was happy to finish the third circuit.  In the fourth circuit, I was feeling it, but I barely got through the first round.  As the second round started, I just couldn't get off the ground and that was it.  I had to take my break.  My MAX OUT Time was 19:36 just before the second round starting with Wide Fly, In & Out Abs.  Having shoulder pain doesn't help either because there were a lot of Plank moves and that was a true trial.  I tried to push through, but I was spent.  I had to take small breaks after each of the following moves.  But there were a couple exceptions where I was able to string two moves together without a break.  That was tough.

I moved right into Abs.  Everything started out well and I got through the first four minutes well.  But at the Switch Kick Punches, I had to tap out.  So my MAX OUT Time was 4:05 at the beginning of the Switch Kick Punches.  Three moves that I still cannot get all the way through when done in the routine are the Switch Kick Punches, Ab Attack and Drum Abs Hold.  I have to do them in 30-second intervals usually, but today, the Drum Abs Hold were extra tough for some reason so today, I did that move in 20-second intervals.  Today, the Sprint move also had to be done in two intervals, 40-second, and 20-second.  For some reason, today was a bad day for my abs.

Today, I figured I would be sweating a lot so I got out my extra large towel.  Good thing too, because I was sweating like crazy.  If this was the summer, I'd probably need two of the big towels.  But getting the Splits done was painful.  I got low during the two rounds, but I added a round of some other stretches that focused on my hamstrings.  That is where I feel the most tightness.  No records, but maintained my present level of flexibility.  All the Flows were right on track.

I can't wait to get my HRM back.  I got the notification that it will take a week to get it back.  Hope I can pick it up earlier than expected.  Good workout today.  Due to my weird schedule, I'm due for an off day tomorrow.  But I am thinking about just going ahead and doing at least MAX 30 in the evening after I get home.  I usually don't like working out too late at night, but just this once, I might.  I will decide tomorrow.  There is a small chance that I might be able to workout at my gym, but the chance is VERY small.  I'm waiting to check the availability.   Can't make a decision until the moment.  Fingers crossed.
