Day 60 (59/60): Max Interval Circuit & Core Cardio & Balance
I enjoyed Max Interval Circuit the least of the three "Max" workouts before... but today I found it really fun. Maybe because my "Pedals" are better. Sprints + 4 lunges.
I really like that exercise.
Still dislike Full Body Drills. Booo. I hate push-ups. I can do them... but I don't want to.
Core Cardio & Balance
This workout isn't too bad. I was tired from Max Interval... but I pushed through it pretty well. I think my favorite part is the end shoulder burners workout. Those are fun. Tough... but fun.

Day 57 (53/54): Max Interval Circuit + Max Recovery
Time to get back on track and back to work!!!
Starting by doubling up on past workouts until I'm back on track!
I went to Bakersfield and San Luis Obispo for Halloween weekend. Ended up with a kink in my neck, and got a massage yesterday. Luckily my stomach has been under control... no more bloating or feeling upset. Body feels pretty good today... so time to get back! Almost finished with the program. Only 9 workouts left (7 after tonight)... then yup!
I don't really think I've seen many superficial changes... but I feel the physical changes. Measurements are pretty much the same.

Day 50: Max Interval Circuit
Tired! After doing the Fit Test... woooo! I was tired.
Workout was kind of difficult, but pushed through! Too tired and busy to write anything today! Need to work on some Halloween costume stuff!

Pre-Insanity, it's walking time!
Walk / Run
Total time: 35 minutes
Walk time: ~ 30 min
Run time: ~5 min
Total distance: 2 miles
Walk distance: 1.5 miles
Run distance: .5 miles
Calories burned: ~200 kcal
It's Insanity tiiiimeeee...!
Max Interval Circuit
Wow! Today was ultra fun! For some reason... exercises seemed easier! I was still tired, but I found with myself with more energy during certain exercises that were really tough the week before. I also surprised myself with my endurance.
Warm-up
The switch kicks and side to side abs usually kill me during the warm-up. Today I was able to do both exercises during a majority of the time. That surprised me a lot! Maybe because of the accomplishment felt from the warm-up, my workout intervals were pushed hard. I dug deeper! lol XD
Let's switch up the reviews! Let's review the workout by interval!
Interval #1
:: Pedal runs + 4 lunges / Ski abs + Push-up Jacks + In-out abs + Oblique Push-ups / Power Strikes / Frog Jumps
Wooo! My first set was awesome! Was able to complete almost all repetitions! Then came set 2... and set 3! I did pretty awesome during this. I was surprised I was able to do so many Frog Jumps. Most trouble was with the Push-up jacks and Oblique push-ups!
Interval #2
:: 4 High Hooks + 4 Low Hooks + 4 Jumpropes / High-Knee with Oblique Twist / Hi-Lo Jabs with Squats / Floor Switch Kicks
Don't know what I ate/drank or if I was spiked with something... but my Jump Ropes were awesome today! I did every single repetition and during the second and third set, I actually was ahead of Shaun T's count. I was awesome! Surprisingly the Floor Switch Kicks weren't as bad as last week. I was actually able to jump instead of just kicking! I gave a goal of 20 switch kicks before I was allowed to take a break. I was happy with my second interval!
Interval #3
:: Side Suicide Jumps / Squat Hooks / Full Body Drills / Plank Punches
The Side Suicide Jumps weren't so bad today! Surprisingly the Squat Hooks were. I always laugh when they when they show the shaved head guy doing this exercise (I think in set 2?). Oh maaan... Full Body Drills. Those moving push-ups! I don't even remember doing them. I was pretty beat by then, but had to really dig. I was surprised how hard I was able to push through Plank Punches!
Good workout today!
After Insanity, it was time for more walking/running! Half and half. Legs felt pretty jello-y after Insanity today!
Walk / Run 2
Total time: 15 minutes
Walk time: ~ 10 min
Run time: ~5 min
Total distance: 1 mile
Walk distance: .5 miles
Run distance: .5 miles
Calories burned: ~100 kcal
Tomorrow is Max Plyometric Intervals (I think!) Too lazy to look at the calendar. XD Did awesome today though! Gonna work hard tomorrow!

Day 40: Max Interval Circuit
WHOA. Day 40!!! Who would have thought?
I still am technically a day behind. I'm thinking of resting an hour or so, then doing Max Interval Plyometrics... I'll be back on schedule if I do that. But I'm tired?
Not really tired, still feeling stomach paings. =( A little headache too? It's been like this the past couple days... probably the combination of stomach not feeling well and poor sleep schedule. So we'll see if I do the second workout today.
Max Interval Circuit
A little challenging overall. Maybe the fatigue. Individual exercises were easier... second time around, so I have an idea of what to do... not as awkward as the first time around.
Warm-up
It was easier overall. I was able to push through the entire workout, but during the third set, wasn't able to speed up as the workout asks. Next week will probably be a little better as I grow accustomed to it. At least my knees up with arms extended wasn't so weak today! Knees were up!
Exercises that gave me trouble
:: Ski Abs + Push-up jacks + In out abs + Oblique push-ups ~ wah. noodles arms.
:: Full Body Drills ~ I did my best to keep up... but so exhausting. My arms were just jello at times. =(
:: Hi-lo Jabs ~ legs were tired! I pushed through majority of these... but just tough!
:: Table Top Switch Kicks ~ left bicep bothered today. these are just tough. Mostly position for me.
Exercises that were fun
:: Sprints and 4 jump lunges ~ First exercise of the workout. I like the sprints. The lunges do get tiring, but! just gotta push through and had fun while doing it
:: Football circles and cross jacks ~ FUN! I like fast feet and I like cross jacks.
:: 4 hooks + 4 low hooks + 4 jump ropes ~ tiring!!! but so much fun!
Maybe a second workout later... we'll see. Still debating!

Day 37: Max Interval Circuit
OMG.
This was hard. Probably tougher than usual because I felt weak. Still have an upset stomach. Still surprised I survived the Fit Test earlier.
Also, I haven't posted meals... because I've just been snacking on Raisenets and Saltine crackers. Poor stomach *dies*
Teaches me to not do stupid things (like eat cheese) when I know fully well not to do it.
Max Interval Circuit is 60 minutes... 10-15 minutes longer than a normal
Exercises that were difficult
... EVERYTHING! Well, mostly. Here are the ones that gave me trouble.
:: Ski abs + Push-up jacks + In-out abs + Oblique ~ oh push-up jacks. Some reason... really couldn't do them. Some reason my arms are so noodlely today.
:: Floor Switch Kicks ~ While in table top position on the floor, you jump switch kick your feet in the air. O_O Some reason, my biceps hurt a lot. They felt stiff and hurt a bit in this position. The switch kicks weren't so bad, the biceps were the problem.
:: Hi-lo Jab with squat ~ Why don't we switch sides with the jab? I really get OCD over not doing exactly the same number of repetitions on each side. I count. So during second set, I switched. During the third set, I alternated left and right. Besides that... my thighs were dying.
:: Squat Hooks ~ These weren't really difficult... but I felt like I looked weird doing them. Maybe need to do them some more.
:: Full Body Drill ~ WHOA. These are Level 2 drills with repetitions x8. Noodle arms already... sooo difficult!
Exercises that were fun
Although these were also difficult, I did have fun with these.
:: Side Suicide Jump ~ (like a side plank jump) ~ Alternating with left and right side. These did make me tired... but they were fun.
:: Hook Jumps ~ (2 high hooks, 2 low hooks, 4 high knee jumps) ~ I did get tired... but these were fun. I liked the hook punches... and the high jumps! They were tiring, but mentally able to push through it.
:: Plank Punches ~ These were tough! But I liked them a lot. Really had to focus to keep my abs engaged.
It was tougher today. That's why it's MAX and not just the normal. Longer work out and more physically challenging exercises. So higher intensity and extra circuit of exercises. Tomorrow is Max Interval Plyometrics! Plus Disneyland! Will I be able to survive Disneyland?
I hope my stomach feels better tomorrow. @_@
