I finished up my first week of Insanity with Plyo cardio on Sunday. The warm up was definitely easier to get through because my endurance has increased & I could do more reps on the exercises, but it is still hard. As you get more endurance, you can push yourself even harder, which means the workout will still be tough.
On Monday (Day 8), I did cardio power & resistance, which is my 2nd favorite workout. I felt like I was getting stronger & definitely able to do more reps & keep up better with the group. It definitely pushes you to use your upper body strength!
On Tuesday (Day 9), I did Pure cardio, which is still my least favorite of the workouts. I do great through the warm-up and stretching, but the 15 minutes of straight cardio intervals are killer. I love how Shaun T says, "is anyone else as nervous as I am?" You know it is going to be rough! :) I still have to take a bunch of breaks and my calves were really burning last night. I made it through and felt great afterwards, but boy is that a workout! :)
If you are thinking of doing Insanity, I definitely recommend getting the P90X results & recovery drink. It really helps to keep me from getting too sore or tired and it is such a treat after your workout! Also, you just need to know your limits. I take breaks when I need to take them and then I jump back in and give it all I can. That's what I love about this workout! You are pushing your own limits and truly seeing what your body can do! Today is Day 10 and I feel like I am looking leaner already! I just know the results are going to be great! I will be doing Plyo Cardio later tonight.
Until then...
