3-25-17 Insanity MAX 30 - Friday Fight Round 2.

Today is supposed to be my off day, but, since I played tennis on Friday instead of doing Friday Fight, I'm a day behind on my schedule.  So, even though I'm in a bit of a time crunch, I decided to at least get the main routine in.  Also, I was still feeling very tired, sore, and my right knee was still feeling a bit gimpy so I decided to modify the whole routine but go a bit slower and push my range of motion.  But when I started the routine, I just couldn't bring myself to modify and I went for it all the way.  My max out time last week was 9:00.  So I was thinking to get past that number.  I made it past and went through a move I thought I would die at.  My MAX OUT Time was 11:07 on Free Runner (R).  The move before this was the Hit the Ground with Jump Tuck.  I thought I'd never be able to get up for those jumps, but I did.  Range of motion on my tuck jump wasn't as high as I would like it to be, but my distance off the ground was my regular height.  When Free Runner Started, that is when I couldn't get off the ground after the second rep and I died out and took my break.  I got back into it after about a minute of trying to catch my breath.  I had pushed it really hard and reached my goal of surpassing my last max out time.  So as the last 2/3 of the routine was left coupled with my time crunch, I decided to modify when needed.  I ended up modifying about 4 moves, about one move every 4-5 moves.  And actually, I was able to keep going a lot better than if I just took a break then got back into it.  I am considering doing that style from now on just because it keeps me going instead of stopping every few moves.  But I don't know if it will work on the Power and Strength routines.  I'll try it, though.

In the end, after about 52 minutes (warm up and Cool down), I torched a nice 605kcals.  Then it was off to see a movie with my son.  Sort of our last night out before he leaves to go back to college tomorrow. Sad and quiet days ahead.
