Had an early work day and an event at noon, so I was able to get home a little earlier than usual. When I got home, I was all alone and free to get to my workout as quickly as I needed. CONFESSION!!! I have the Baskin Robbins app on my phone and my Birthday is in December, so I got a coupon for a free scoop of ice cream. I was free today, so I went and redeemed the coupon. I got a regular scoop of Cinnamon Roll Ice Cream. It was delicious. So when I got home, I wanted to work that baby off.
I was totally planning to do Cold Start so as I was getting ready, the idea of warming up with the 12 Days of Fitmas popped into my head. So, to save time (I was under a little bit of a time crunch), I decided to try and warm up with the four moves in the 12 Days of Fitmas Challenge. The four moves are Side Plank, Skaters, Lunge Jumps, and the new one High Knee Walk/Run for four minutes alternating every minute. The middle two moves really warmed up my lower body and got my legs pumped. It actually served as a pretty good warm up. I was having some technical problems, so I did the Dead Hand also. Today was 2 minutes and 10 seconds. It was a good hang, and my record for long hang. I did a single split: 90-40 seconds. I was so happy that I decided to up the ante from tomorrow.
I started Total Body Circuit with the goal of doing a straight 25, not rest. As I started, I felt really good. It was a going well with all the progressions. I was thinking I was going to crush it when I hit the last progression in the regular routine. The Push-Up progression ending with the Spider Push-Ups. I was barely knocking those out when the time ended and the BURNOUT time came. Unfortunately, I was burned out on Spider Push-Ups and the first move in the Burnout is the Shoulder Tap Push-Up. I couldn't even get one done. I had to tap out of it. I was so very disappointed. But I was able to finish the rest of the routine without taking a break, something I haven't done in a long time.
I finished out the routine with my time tested Flow Series. I had some extra time, which is very rare, so I stretched out my inner thighs in my Butterfly Stretch. I was able to get my knees to the floor, just barely.
In the end, I burned a good 650+kcals. I was very happy to finish on a positive note and crush all my routines.
In the evening, I did my usual Ab EMS session. Abs feel strong so I'm feeling okay about it.
