INSANITY Day 11 - Cardio Recovery

I actually did this workout this morning, I didn't get a chance to do it yesterday because there were so many errands to run. Cardio Recovery is a combination of cardio, stretching and yoga balance poses, so it wasn't as arduous as the other routines. I plan to do the CPR workout tonight to keep on schedule. We'll see how this "two-a-day" goes after tonight!

INSANITY Day 10 - Plyometric Cardio Circuit

PCC for the third time, felt better during and after than even the most recent time. Still tired but felt good!

INSANITY Day 9 - Pure Cardio

Good workout today, lots of jumping, pushups. I switched sneakers because my old ones didn't have much cushion left in them. Wearing new ones makes a difference, especially considering the amount of high impact moves in every workout. I see by the schedule that i will be doing this workout again in a few days but there will be an ab workout added to it. I guess this is when it starts getting tougher!

INSANITY Day 8 - Cardio Power & Resistance

It seems like my body is adapting already. This workout was easier than the first time I did it a few days ago. Don't get me wrong, I still ended up drenched and ready for a shower but I felt better at the end than 5 days.

INSANITY!!! Day 7 - no workout today

It was good to have a break to give my left knee a rest. That is one difference between Insanity and P90X: Insanity has a lot more jumping, especially lateral jumps and squats, which aggravate one of the ligaments in my left knee.

INSANITY!!! Day 6 - Plyometrics Cardio Circuit

Plyo Cardio Circuit for the second time this week. This first time made me feel like barfing, this time I was only exhausted. It was better this time but my legs still shook at the end. That means I worked them till they couldn't go anymore. Success! Tomorrow is an off day with no workout, but I will post something, maybe a preliminary comparison with P90X.

INSANITY!!! Day 5 - Pure Cardio

Back at it with a vengeance! Today was a relatively short session, less than 40 minutes, but it was full -- FULL! -- of high-intensity cardio. Bell to bell, it was virtually non-stop. Having said that, I didn't really feel the INSANITY until the final 5 minutes, when we had to start doing scissor lunges and sprint/lunge combos. Those lunges will get ya every time! Good workout; I modified the cool-down stretch a bit to suit the muscles that I needed to stretch (calves more than hips).
