Day 36 of 63: Max Interval Circuit

 And so begins Phase 2 - I made the big mistake of doing this workout right after my Fit Test (see previous post).  Here is my combined workout summary:

Workout Time: 57 minutes
Calories Burned: 575

By the time I started this workout, I had already done 25 minutes of the fit test workout and was a little burned out. I also was not aware this circuit training workout would actually be 60 minutes long!!! I was expecting it to be more like 40 minutes, just like the other ones.

So what did I do? I stopped after I was 30 minutes into the workout. :(:(:( Why? Because this workout is
insane!!!!

After my fit test, I thought I could jump straight into the stretch after the warm-up. However, I decided against that and only fast forwarded the video 5 minutes. This landed me into the middle of the warmup. As I worked my way through the warm-up I noticed all the exercises were different. They used components of moves we made before but they were all just mixed together into the warm-up. I was beat by the time I finished the warm-up.

Once the stretching was done the real deal began. by this time I was already pretty tired but I tried to tough it through as much as I could. Moves are just as hard and my heart rate was going into the 90% MHR, more than it did in Phase 1. I knew at this point I shouldn't have tried doing 2 workouts back to back so I said, "I am going to stop after reaching 600 calories burned."After burning over 550 calories I decided to stop and skipped to the cooldown stretch and that was the end of my workout today.

I am still pretty tired, but it feels good. Lesson learned: don't do 2 Insanity workouts back to back.
