Nick: Day 44, 45 & 46 Recap - When you fall down...

Day 44: Max Interval Circuit (5:15am)

This workout, as I've said a few times already, is my favorite workout of all time.  (Used to be spinning classes, but that has changed)  I get the most out of this routine as I can complete 90% of it without taking a break and while keeping up with the machines on the video.  Also, I feel great when it's over.  The bad news is that I will not see this routine again until Monday along side the next Fit Test.  (going to make for a long morning for sure)

Day 45: Max Interval Plyo....sort of (5:15am)

What happened on Wednesday was bound to happen.  I ran into a brick wall.  It took me 45 days to get to a day that I did not complete a full workout.  Was not a great morning at all.  My alarm went off @ 4:50am as usual, and rolled out of bed, let the dog out, fed her, drank a couple glasses of water, got my shoes on, logged into WOWY SuperGym and pressed play.  About halfway through the workout, my whole body gave out and I found myself face first on the floor...  I stayed down for a moment to gather myself, took some sips of water and pushed through the rest of the warm up and the stretch.  I made it through the 1st Interval of Circuit one, and started the 2nd Interval, then BAM!  On the floor again.  My body was trying to tell me to cut it out.  So I did.  I forwarded to the Cool Down Stretch, completed that and threw in the towel.  I was NOT going to risk injuring myself.  Having to do this ate away at me all day.  Didn't help the stress levels at work, either.  ...sigh...

Day 46: Max Recovery (5:15am)

What do you do when you fall down?  Pick yourself back up!  I killed it this morning with Max Recovery.  Don't be fooled by the word "Recovery" because this workout is no joke.  Max Recovery required a decent amount of energy, especially for all the plank work involved.  Arms and Pecs are on FIRE!  (Core, too).

It's now decision time.  With 17 days left of Insanity, I know I'm not going to be done with getting myself into the shape I prefer, so I need to schedule out my next program.  I'm on the fence of whether to do P90X or give TurboFire a shot.  Or, repeat Insanity...  (shrug)  I'm leaning towards P90X with a start date of Dec. 13th.  I'll have the decision made soon.

Tomorrow is a double involving Max Cardio Conditioning and Insane Abs!  It's on!
