Day: 25, Insanity Cardio Recovery

Workout

Insanity Cardio Recovery Status: Completed The final cardio recovery is complete. I couldn't sleep last night at all, and 5:45 came WAY too quick. I stumbled my way out of bed and hit play around 6:20. Today was mostly me doing each exercise for half of the time length, followed by walking around staring aimlessly until the next exercise. That would have happened no matter what, but it seems to happen more often with this workout. If it's going to happen anywhere, I'm glad it's on recovery day. This isn't a very engaging workout, but since it's deep muscle exercise, stretch, repeat, I figure it's not really meant to be that engaging. I do feel like I got a good stretch, but between you (the world) and me, I miss yoga. The day has begun. I'm going to go get some homework done, followed by heading into the office. I'm debating doing the resistance workout for tomorrow morning tonight instead, but that's still up in the air. We'll see. Dig Deep!

Day: 11, Insanity Cardio Recovery

Workout

Insanity Cardio Recovery Status: Completed Wow, today was REALLY hard to get moving. I was completely walking through a dream. I slept til 6:30, but couldn't sleep anymore, but I couldn't wake up either. That's the worst, when you're perpetually tired. I finally hit play around 7, and the first 15 minutes I really struggled....from the recovery workout! I realize it's not meant to be that easy, but this felt harder than yesterday's workout. By the time the stretch at the end came I finally got into it, but overall my body just wasn't in the game today. I'm glad this happened on the recovery workout instead of a normal Insanity workout. I really hope I'm not so drained tomorrow. Thursdays are my other doubles day, so I really need to have energy. Wish me luck! Time to finish homework and head to the office. See you tomorrow gym. Dig Deep!

Day: 4, Insanity Cardio Recovery

Workout

Insanity Cardio Recovery Status: Completed Well it wasn't easy, but it was definitely a break from the rest of the insanity that is Insanity. It's a lot of endurance stuff mixed in with stretching. I didn't like that 90% of the moves worked the legs though since my legs are the thing I've used the most in this program. I could barely walk when I woke up this morning, and I don't know if the recovery workout helped them or hurt them. We'll see tomorrow I guess. I'm really looking forward to a day when I can do Insanity and not destroy my calves. It's coming....I'm still in week 1, and expecting huge changes over the next 9 weeks. Honestly though, I miss yoga and would have enjoyed that more today. If I ever do a hybrid program, yoga will definitely be on Wednesdays. Also I didn't care for the 32 minute workout today. Even for recovery, that just feels really short. A few months ago Wednesdays were my 90 minute plus workout, and now they're short. Oh well. Day 4 is in the books. Week 1 is moving along nicely and I'm definitely getting a workout. Dig Deep!
