Day 7 today was Insanity day. The workout - Insanity Pure Cardio. When I looked this one up online it said it was the hardest one for month 1. Uh-oh...that can't possibly be good.
It was the standard Insanity warm-up - 15 minutes of crazy followed by stretches. I'm actually starting to like the warm-up and it's getting much easier. I think at first it was such a shock because it's so different from P90X. After stretching Shaun T was like, "I don't know about this one." Um, seriously, the guy running the video is worried. At one point he even laughs because he is so distracted and "hurting" that he forgets the name of his own moves. He's too funny.
Overall the workout wasn't that bad. It's the standard push, push, push that I've come to expect with the Insanity workouts, but this time the push was for the full 20 minutes, no break. Which was okay because I didn't need a break until we were almost at the end (I think it was the third from last exercise, I had to stop for some water). My favorite by far is the football drills - I love, love, love these. They always get my heart pumping and make me happy.
I'm going to look into new shoes. I heard that cross trainers provide you with more support for his workouts. I don't think running shoes are working out so well for me. It'll have to wait a pay day or two...good thing I have 2 pair of "new running" shoes. I might have to wear my Nike's on Insanity days and keep my Saucony's for running (yes, I need to start running again. I've got a 5K coming up in May and I'd like to actually run it).
Tomorrow starts week 2, and I weigh-in. Not expecting great results this week - my eating has been AWFUL! Too many sweets. Starting fresh tomorrow. Bring it!!
