I definitely didn't feel like getting out of bed this morning to go workout, but I am lucky enough to have my husband working out with me. So, he convinced me to get going and we did it. :) Cardio power & resistance started out like plyo cardio with a nice hardcore warm-up of 3 rounds of 3 min. & 30 sec. So, the 9 minutes I talked about yesterday is wrong. Then, you get a 6 minute stretch break, which I love, but at this point I have tons of sweat dripping down my face. :) Now, you are ready to workout!
Here are the first set of exercises. You do 3 rounds with a 30 second water break after each round & then you do a couple of bonus moves at the end.
*Power Jumps- with your knees wide, you lower into a squat, then jump straight up. Bring your knees in high in the center, and touch your hands.
*Belt Kicks- You squat then you kick with one leg and then squat again and kick with the other leg.
*Hit the Floor- You do side to side lunges swinging your arms up and then down and touching the floor on each side.
*V Push Ups- You’re in a push up position, but you bring your feet in closer to your arms, forming a “V” with your butt in the air. Lower your head towards the floor and push up.
Next you do these exercises for 3 rounds, with a 30 second water break after each round, plus another bonus move at the end.
*Hurdle Jumps- You run in place, and then jump to side. Then run in place again & jump to the other side.
*Globe Jumps- You have a wide stance, and you jump right, back, left, and then front & then repeat.
*Moving Push Ups- You move to the side & then push up and then move to the other side & push up again.
*Floor Sprints- You get into plank or push up position & move your feet in a sprint (similar to mountain climber but you don't pull your legs in as far).
Then you do your cool down for about 4 minutes. The whole workout takes about 39 minutes.
I liked this workout better than the plyometric cardio circuit. I was sweating really good & got another fantastic workout from it. There was a nice change in moves with more breaks, so maybe that made it a little better for me. :) I did struggle with the push-ups, but I'm hoping Insanity will help me to improve that. Tomorrow's workout is Cardio Recovery, which I'm looking forward to the stretching, but I have heard it really isn't much of a recovery at all. I'll let you know! :)
