I wasn't sure what to expect today. I was so wiped after Max Interval Circuit that even the thought of taking a shower was too daunting because it involved standing up. I took it very easy for awhile afterward, and I drank 12 oz. of my recovery formula, which seemed about right. I'm happy to say I felt fine all day, including having enough energy to clean my car to sell and to teach class tonight. A cup of coffee around 3 pm might have had something to do with it. I feel good and not particularly sore anywhere. It's 9:15 pm and I still don't feel like going to bed.
One thing I did notice today that's very parallel with the beginning of month 1 -- my appetite is dead, and for me that's really something. Getting enough calories today was a stretch. In month 1, this was the case for a couple of weeks and then my appetite kicked in with a ferocity.
I also previewed Max Intensity Plyo (I don't like surprises) and it looks extremely knee-unfriendly. The individual exercises look way harder than MIC, and I can't see five minutes shorter making a whole lot of difference. Not looking forward to tomorrow. I didn't care for Cardio Recovery during month 1, but I have a feeling Max Recovery is going to be my favorite day this month.

I'm glad you feel better! Usually for me it is the same thing, I am completely wiped but when that passes I feel great.
ReplyDeleteMax Plyo is where I think the knees take a beating, the first circuit is all squat stuff and is a killer. Be sure to go slow and use proper form. Good luck!
I seem to be in the minority but I prefered Max Plyo to the Max Interval Circuit. I was completely wasted after Max Interval Circuit. Perhaps that had something to do with hiking the day before (no rest day) and doing the fit test prior to MIC. Either way Max Plyo went MUCH better for me! :-) It's great to have someone at the same spot as me. And a fellow yogi to boot!
ReplyDeleteShow yourself, yogi! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys. I'm going to have my rebounder handy in case the knees decide to rebel. Some of the moves look really fun, though. Good to hear someone likes Max Plyo.
Also, thanks for the water tip, Sean. I usually work out with a gullet full of coffee. Probably not the best idea.
