9-29-17 (Friday) HY: YAYOG - Intermediate: Circuit Training + TCF.

Today was a rush workout.  I was in a major MAJOR time crunch.  By the time I got home from work, I only had about 40 minutes before sunset.  I usually don't like taking my Friday workout up to the line like this, but since I knew that the workout itself was only about 20 minutes, and under 30 minutes with the warm-up and cool down, I went for it.

Today ends the Intermediate Phase of YAYOG (You Are Your Own Gym).  The routine pattern is four moves done in succession for six sets.  The moves are: Star Jumpers, Half Dive Bomber Push-Ups (But again, I did FULL Dive Bombers), Oblique V-Ups (3 sets on each side), and Hip Up Bridges (I used Push-Up Stands).  I crushed the first four sets!  Absolutely went all out.  The last two sets... I SPANKED to next week.  When there are only two sets to the end, the adrenaline start pumping and you want to push even harder.  But once that last rep was done, I collapsed to the floor, totally spent.  I sweat like crazy, and I had to scramble between moves to set up and wipe the sweat from my eyes.  In the last three sets, I had to close my eyes during the last 10 seconds of each move to keep the sweat from going in.  I was glad that there was an ab move, or I would have felt like I was missing something in my workout. 

I had just enough time after catching my breath to do a good regular Flow series.

In the end, I burned just under 500kcals.  I was happy to get it done in time to welcome the Sabbath!  Happy Weekend, everyone!
