Day 53 was the last day of this hybrid workout, with the last Friday Fight 2. I was able to again Max Out ten minutes in (10:36 to be exact) while mostly doing unmodified or semi-modified moves for the first ten minutes. Then I had to do a combination of modified and unmodified.
Overall, I would say that this round went okay, but not as well as I would have liked. My big takeaway from Max 30 is there is a huge difference between how hard the modified workout is versus the unmodified. There is a reason the modifiers can make it through the workouts without maxing out or making it nearly to the end before they max out, while the people who are not modifying generally max out 6-7 minutes into the workouts.
I have decided that for the next round of workouts I am going to do doubles, but doing a low-impact beginner's pilates as the morning workout to help with my flexibility and core strength, and then Lift 4 as the evening, intense workout. Lift 4 is a four-day workout that combines living heavy weights focused on one or two body parts for the first half of the workout and then doing HIIT cardio for the last half of the workout. The idea is to fatigue your muscles with the heavy lifting and then do intense cardio when you are already spent. I am definitely curious to see how my body will respond to that.
The Beginner Pilates workout is a six-day-a-week workout that runs for three weeks while Lift 4 is an eight-week program. Right now, my intention is to just do the Pilates workout for the full 8 weeks that I am doing Lift 4, and then switch routines again to go back to Max 30 and see how much better I can do after doing Lift 4.
