This is my least favorite routine of this month.  I think it is mostly mental just because I know it is the longest.  I mean, working out at your max for a full hour?

I left work a bit early today (hey it’s Friday) to get home and bust this out before my brother came over.  He was passing through for one night on his way to Florida and I didn’t want to spend my time exercising while he was here.

The routine went fairly well.  I am definitely getting better conditioned as the weeks go by.  I was able to power through most everything it felt like, until I got to the last circuit.  By the second round of that last circuit I start to fade.  I did my best and kept form and dug through it.

The knee is doing doing fairly well too.  I mentioned yesterday it was feeling better and I am happy to say that has carried into today.  Although I still feel it, it is less painful than before.  I am extremely conscious of form of course and slow down through the many squat and knee pounding exercises.  I am fairly sure when my 9 weeks are up it will come back to full strength after a few days of good rest.

Pushing it burned a ton of calories today. . . . 727 to be exact!
