Dallas, don't worry about the breaks. I don't think I have ever made it through without taking at least one break. Today I took several during the workout, especially after the first half. I even took one of those Refuel Energy Gels from PowerBar. I don't know if it helped, but I made it through. I did pretty well. I like cardio workouts because I can usually power through them okay. The toughest for me today was doing the Mary Catherine's (named after Molly Shannon's SNL Catholic school girl character) right after the "mother" Jump Squats, which I kept up with Dominic the Machine in the back!
I burned over 1200 calories and took enough breaks to increase my workout time by about 5 minutes. My Max heart rate was 178 and my average was 154. I usually don't start using the monitor until the workout starts, but on Plyo days I can usually just start at the beginning. I think I turned it off when it started beeping at me during the cool down. On days like tomorrow, I don't put it on during the warm up or the cool down, and rarely get in the zone during the Ab Ripper.
What is interesting to me is that I was technically in "the zone" (according to the Polar OwnZone system) for only 14 minutes. I was above my zone for 49 Minutes. It was an eXtreme workout in which I brought it!
Keep Bringing it!
