Low Plank Obliques   35    -    65    -   76

Some pretty amazing results. Especially if you look at day 1 to 36... it's really not that much time when you think about it... but a LOT of work.

Globe Jumps: no improvement. Simple reason. I simply can't do the move faster. I'm convinced of that. It's not an issue of lungs or fitness... it just takes a certain about of time. 

Ok... So winded and feeling great... then 2 minutes rest before the REAL workout. Max Interval Circuit.

Holy Fucking Shit. I am NOTHING. This workout is so much more difficult that anything so far.... it's like how I felt at Day 2.

Only difference is my fitness level is SO much higher... but this workout is bananas (to quote the instructor). Seriously. 1 hour of max intervals. Brutal. New moves, longer sets, less rest, more combined movements.

I sincerely thought I was going to vomit- so much so that I was looking for a bucket WHILE in a rest move like plank knees.

I didn't. I bust over the 1000 calorie mark before I finished.

It kicked my fucking ass. Brutally. I wasn't even CLOSE to keeping up, let alone doing a perfect hour. 

This is ok. I have something to dig for. I'm looking forward to the challenge. 

Diet is going to be increasingly more important, and I've been really good at balancing... I can see the 1000+ being a regular occurrence.

Tomorrow I fly to Dallas until Thursday. I have 2 options:

1- get up early tomorrow and workout prior to airport

2- do the workout late night tomorrow

Neither appeals to me... only because I don't know how to work out in the morning without dying considering the massive calorie drain.

The late workout will be no good as I'm driving to meet a friend and his wife for dinner... I'm now thinking the best option might be a workout after I land and check into the hotel prior to dinner.

Then Wed I could take and hour and a half in the late afternoon... before dinner again... then I'm home the next day.

I think that's best. These are going to be brutal and I want the best chance to succeed.

Ok Insanity Month 2, you've won this one... but I'll be back tomorrow.
