INSANITY!!! Day 3 - Cardio Power & Resistance

After finishing today's workout, I wonder if it is a coincidence that the initials for today's workout are CPR? Actually, today wasn't as strenuous as yesterday, but I was still wiped out when it was finished. So "power and resistance" apparently means squats and pushups (as opposed to yesterday which was pushups and squats). Now I understand the INSANITY routine: intense warmup, stretch, then 3 sets of tough exercises, the third set having a bonus surprise set of other moves at the end. Each DVD is about 40 minutes, but it is a full 40 minutes of intensity. It is the last set of moves, combined with each set being faster than the previous one, that makes this workout live up to its name. I thought the V-pushups (doing pushups but in a pike position, shaped like an upside-down "V") until I had to do tricep ball pushups (same thing you are except crunched up in a ball so you are lifting almost all your weight).
