Day 37, CLX/Insanity

Ah, Insanity, how I hate thee. Tonight was Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning (not the one I said yesterday). It was only 46 minutes and it actually wasn't that bad of a workout. My bigger problem was the kids. We had the basketball court so lots of room, but of course they weren't happy with that, nope, not at all. Katelynn kept running back and forth between the gym and kids room and every time she left Denver had a meltdown and wanted to leave too. I told her she had to pick one and stay put, and of course that went over just great...right. Anyway, bodybugg says I burned 415 calories. I personally hate that you go, go, go and you don't have much to show for it. Yes 400 calories is better then none, but I was drenched tonight and I was thinking 550 calories.
My favorite exercise in the set was the football stance run with a drop to low plank and back up again. The only problem was it was hard to hear so I'd drop and never hear him say up, so I'd look at the computer screen, see them up, jump up, only to drop right back down. It was fun though. There were a few other new moves tonight that were interesting, but there were also a few that I just couldn't due if I wanted to walk tomorrow, which I do (in fact I want to run tomorrow), so I took it easy (that could be part of the low calorie number too)...when I say take it easy I mean that when we did diamond jacks (a jumping jack that when you jump up your feet come together so you look like a frog hopping up in the air) I just did squat jacks and when we did high knee/low/floor sprints I did high knees, low run, and then held the plank since those darn floor sprints still make my back sound like rice krispies (yes, I do try them just to see if it's getting any better, but nope, still there). But, regardless, I'm still modifying the moves, and I CAN NOT WAIT for Insanity to be over. I'm so glad that I didn't buy this program - it's just not for me. I do not ever see myself doing it again either.
