Last night was rough - the last day of a rough week. I slept for an hour, woke up until 2am, then drifted into semi sleep until 5am.
I did NOT want to work out this morning. But, unlike yesterday (I skipped - my body and mind were DONE), I had no excuses. The living room *is* my gym. I hadn't walked into any furniture, tripped over anything, or fallen down the stairs or in the shower.
No excuses.
Insanity Max 30: Tabata Strength Day
My workout commentary is as follows:
- Warm Up was tough - I wanted to tap out at 2 minutes and 38 seconds in - I did not give into this
- Diamond Jump Burpees - CURSE YOU
- Plyo Power Squats - CURSE YOU MORE!
- Wide Alternate Pushups - you were ok...
- Diamond Pushups - Shaun T - you are insane!
I maxed out at 10:42
- Knee Diamond Holds - OWWWWW!!! That's a lot of holding, but I did it.
- Childs Post Diamond - I preferred just the Child's Pose portion of this move
- I actually liked the Split Plyo Lunge
- Plyo Power Ab - I definitely felt that one!
- Power Knee Lunchge - this one is tough, yet effective
- Power Knee - I could feel that one in my tight hips
- 4 V Push Up - Whoooooo! My arms!
- V Pushup - Shaun T is trying to slowly kill me
- V Push up Hold - Shaun T Definitely has a vendetta against me.
- Pike Ups - My arms can't take this anymore!
- Scissor Push UPs - How can Shaun T possibly make pushups more difficult? This is how!
- Knee Tap Push Ups - It's easier than the last move? Yay?
- Toe Tap Push Ups - Holy co-ordination - I'll have to do this a few times before I get it
- Plant Toe Tap - I think I made up my own version of this move - I like it better - Shaun T is now glaring at me - how does he know??
- Chair to Chair Pulse - How can I possibly have any sweat left??
It was over in a snap - I made it through the entire 30 minutes of Hell Shaun T calls Tabata Strength. I would NOT have been able to do this yesterday, and next week it will be that much easier.
As difficult as this work out was, and as much as I cursed Shaun T, I showed up & did it.
I like a challege, and this was my challenge of the day before 7am.
Is it nap time yet?
