Max Interval Plyo

For the first time I really had no desire to do the workout today, I think I am officially burned out.

I managed to get through it and think I worked hard, but I am really, really, really ready to move onto something else.  Tomorrow is a recovery workout day, so hopefully that will get me going again.

Easier than the First Time

Did Max Interval Circuit today and it seemed much easier than the first time around.  I am getting a little burned out of Insanity though, I will be glad when the next two and a half weeks are over so I can start mixing in some walking again.

Ahead of Schedule

Decided I would rather have Sunday off from exercise, so despite walking this morning and cleaning house most of the day I decided to go ahead and do Max Cardio Conditioning.

Surprisingly enough I made it through with relative ease.  Perhaps I was full of energy, or perhaps I am getting into better shape.

All I know is that I have Sunday off from exercise now and I have begun week 3.

Max Interval Plyo = Yuck

For some reason Max Interval Plyo was VERY difficult for me today.  I had a tough time getting through it.  I did manage to make it all the way, but I had to push myself really, really hard.

I’m thinking my legs need a break.

Careful What You Wish For

Perhaps I did not take full advantage of the recovery workout yesterday.  The Max Interval Circuit kicked my butt today.  It was actually easier than on Sunday, but I was laying in a pool of sweat when it was over.

One good thing — tomorrow is the last day of the week, so I will have only 3 weeks left after that.  Hopefully most of the rest of the fat on my stomach will vanish by then.

Max Recovery

Today was the Max Recovery workout.  I believe the “Recovery” portion is a bit misleading.  Wow, it was a tough workout.  No cardio, but lots of strength and such.  Can’t say it was overly enjoyable.

Tomorrow is back to the extreme cardio.

Max Cardio Conditioning

I think this is the hardest workout ever put on DVD.  It was 48 minutes of pure hell with only one 30 second built in break.  Otherwise it was non-stop cardio work.

I was able to make it through it, but was VERY tired at the end.  Glad tomorrow is a recovery day, although I’m sure the workout will still be tough.

Max Interval Plyo

Today was Max Interval Plyo, wow what a tough workout.  A lot of upper body stuff, which is not my strong suit.

The most difficult things I remember are the squatting pushups and side pushups.  My arms were very sore the day after.  It was a bit shorter than the previous day’s workout, but still very difficult.

First Day of Second Phase

I’ve gotten behind on posting these, it is really Wednesday and I am posting about Sunday’s workout.  This was the longest workout of Insanity, clocking in at exactly one hour.

If I remember correctly it was tough, but possibly not as difficult as I had envisioned.  It was a lot like the first 4 weeks but w/one more 3 section circuit added.

Fit Test #3

Did the Fit Test yesterday afternoon so that I could have a day off today from Insanity since everything will be moved up a day this week. In every exercise in the Fit Test I had 10% better results than the previous Fit Test.
