Today, we are planning to have some guests over for dinner and games, so I had a shake for lunch then went into my workout.  That was at about 1 pm, so I had an early workout today.

This begins the final week of Month 2 of the MAX 30 program, so I really wanted to crush this routine and all the rest.  Long story short... CRUSHED IT!!!  I went all the way with no break.  MAX OUT Time is 30:00!!! However, I must say that I didn't have as good a workout as I did last week.  Last week, I felt pretty strong all throughout, but today, there were several times during the routine that I felt like tapping out.  I felt a more intense burn, and recently, I have had an interesting pain in my foot.  At the beginning of the whole program, I wrote about the incredible pain in my arches and calves right from the warm up.  I'm basically used to the warm up now so I don't get that sharp pain anymore, but recently, I've been getting this pain in the outer edge of my foot, especially my right foot.  It messes with my balance, and my lateral jumping, well, any jumping for that matter.  But I try to stay off it and shake it out when I can as much as possible until the pain passes then go for it.  I was very happy to start off the final week with a full workout.

To spice things up a bit, I decided to, instead of the usual Ab Attack: 10 routine for my abs, I went with one of the bonus ab routines.  The big difference right off is that it is 15 minutes long.  I had no idea what to expect.  But as the moves were introduced, it actually seemed a little easier than Ab Attack.  Basically, it alternates an on-the-ground ab move with a standing cardio/ab move.  I think I could have gotten much further into the routine if I hadn't done such a tough initial routine.  I just got more and more tired with each cardio move.  My MAX OUT Time ended up being... AGAIN... 4:25.  I don't remember the move, but I was just so tired and the burn was intense.  But I was happy about one thing for a while, No Switch Kick Punches.  But then, at the very end, what shows up? SWITCH KICK PUNCHES.  I was only able to do a 30/30 split, but I was happy with that.  But I think I'll do this routine after a weights routine instead of a cardio routine next time. Mental note.

Today, I just went with the Unlock routine but I pushed it hard.  The Flow was, as usual, on point.

In the end, I torched close to 1000kcals.  Good starts are invaluable!
