Today, I got back to a "normal-ish" routine.  After the Pickle-Ball yesterday, my legs were feeling a bit sore, but I was excited to get back to a home routine.  So, I sort of decided before hand that I would be increasing the ladder sets from four sets to six sets.  Seemed fine at the time, but, to make a long story short, it was really tough.  And a twenty minute routine ended up being forty minutes.  I needed short breaks almost at the end of each of the longer sets.  And like last time, I didn't peak at the sixth set, I doubled down.  So my set rep count was:
1-2-3-4-5-6-6-5-4-3-2-1-1-2-3-4-5-6-6-5-4-3-2-1
And also like last time, I added the Push-Up to the Burpee.  Last time, on the Back Lunges, my knee started to hurt a little bit, but today, I don't remember feeling any sort of pain in my knee.  I was very glad about that.  But the first circuit was really brutal.  It did a good job of wearing me out.
The second circuit was a little different this time.  Last time, I did the Pointer in a full Plank position, but I was already really tired, so I went with the way Mark taught it, starting on all fours and raising opposite limbs from there.  But I did a little static hold which took more time.  It also blasted my shoulders and glutes.  Same with the Thumbs Up,  Static hold at the top and pain to follow.  It was a great routine, a lot longer than the previous time.

I moved right into the Push Ups for my arms.  Today, I did two sets of 25 of Staggered Push-Ups.  Like what Tony does in X3's The Challenge.  One arm above my head and a bit to the outside and the other arm right next to my ribs.  Got a good pump and definite burn during the last few reps of the second set.

I felt the need for ab work, so again, I went with good ol' Ripper 200.  Still does a great job and I was able to protect my back.

I could feel my back already tired from the YAYOG work, so instead of doing the strengthening routine, I only did the lower back stretch.

And I finished up with a good series of Flows.

In the end, I burned a nice 600+kcals.  Not the big burn from yesterday, but I sweat gallons.
