I so love this routine; Tony is not kidding when he says it is FUN FUN FUN!!
For me it is all about bringing it more then last time. How did I do that today? Well picked up the speed and made sure that intensity went with it, you can pick up the speed, but at times when you go to fast you lose intensity and you get sloppy, but I did my best to make sure that did not happen. Last time I said I did more reps than they do, about 1.5 times more, well this time I doubled it up, so I did twice the amount of reps than the DVD, OH YEAH!!, and it’s so wickedly crazy when you do that LOL.
It was tough to do, especially when you hear him count, your brain just wants to count with him, for example the block sequence, he counts for every arm block and says 1, 1, 2, 2, 3 ,3…. It’s kind of hard to not fall into that pattern, but what I did was I kept the count on my right arm, so every time he counted the number 1 was using my right arm and in turn doubling my reps and making sure I used my torso as well to help with the intensity. I can tell you that I know I did, my mid section is a bit sore LOL. Even for the star blocks I was going at my own pace, making sure I would double it up. And one that is fun a bit faster is knuckles + heal kick + back kick sequence, do it faster but properly, with intensity and it’s pretty fun, you can get right in to it.
Once I reached the vertical punches at the end, I started out with a fast pace, and I have no clue how many I did, all I know is the faster they went, I tried going faster than they were LOL.
What else besides speed and intensity did I do? Well of course, no breaks, I don’t need no stinking break! LOL. Running in place with high knees each time, jumping rope, jumping jacks and good old Xs.
Because of the amount of speed and intensity, my throat went dry about half way through it, I decided not to drink water though, I did not want to stop, not the best decision but I knew I was going to drink once done soon.
I so brought it, YEAH BABY, and I sweat like crazy again LOL “Real Sweat, Real People” LOL:
This pic was taken with my cell phone, that shirt was light grey when I started, and can you tell I like my weighted gloves LOL. Oh that was another crazy thing, every time I was doing an upper cut or a hook, I used so much intensity that the centrifugal force would push the sweat right through the neoprene and drops of sweat would fly LOL uhm sshhhh don’t say anything, cause now I have to clean my room, and I have to use Arm & Hammer carpet deodorant and possibly some Fabreeze, plus I have to clean anything else that might have gotten sweaty thanks to me, or I may be in trouble LOL
Well tomorrow I have X Stretch plus take my weight and measurements, however it is the last day before recovery week and I have Yoga on Saturday so I may do something crazy tomorrow, but you’ll have to come back to find out if I did or not and what was it :o)
Thank you for your time:
Mike
