Day 51, CLX/Insanity

Tonight was Insanity Plyo Cardio Circuit. After two weeks of 50+ minute Insanity workouts it was really weird to go back to such a short one (42 minutes, but after warm-up stretching it's only 20 minutes). Chris and the kids walked over to the gym with me tonight. They got to hang out on the play area while I sweated my butt off.
We couldn't workout on the basketball court tonight since it was reserved for a banquet, and the gym itself smelled like paint fumes, so we decided that our best option would be to go outside and workout! The laptop screen was a little hard to see so we just did the workout without music - it was easier to hear Shaun T. calling out the moves. I really liked the warm-up - it was a good set of exercises plus four out of the seven repeated exercises are running moves. I didn't really remember which video we were doing until it got to the actual workout part. The first set was a piece of cake (easier then the actual warmup)...suicide drills, power squats, mountain climbers, and ski downs. When we started doing the football drills I remembered this workout - LOVE the football drills, hate, hate, hate the basketball drill portion which has nothing to do with the basketball drill so much as the two drills that follow it - Level 1 drills and ski drills - UGH!! Level 1 drills - 4 pushups, 4 mountain climbers in plank position, jump up, repeat this about 5 or 6 times (it's all a blur right now) follow that with the ski drills - hold plank jump your feet left, center, right (repeat 5, 6, 7 times...who knows) then hold the plank and jump your feet into your chest and back out (repeat 5, 6, 7...really does it matter); then repeat starting at the basketball drills 2 more times. O.M.G.!!! I spent most of this on my knees, but when I was doing the moves I was actually doing them. I think being on the grass really helped my knees/back. I'll know for sure in the morning if I can't walk. I was feeling bold and they felt good, so I did them. Last time that happened I had problems walking the next day. I need to run tomorrow...hmm, maybe it wasn't such a good idea. I might have to go and request a nice long back rub.
The workout ends with a bunch of punching type moves which is actually a really nice way to stretch out your arm/back muscles after all those pushups/plank moves.
Tomorrow is Push Circuit 2. Yeah! I love lifting days.

Yes, please!!
