I just barely squeezed in my work out yesterday in between class and work. I really think Pure Cardio is my favorite Insanity work-out so far. Probably because my cardio is in much better shape than my muscles are, and because I'm somewhat of a cardio freak : ). I was able to keep up until those damn frog jumps...then I had to stop for a second and shake my legs out because my quads were burning so bad. Then I jumped right back into it. I'm really starting to love push-up jacks, probably because I never fathomed being able to do such an exercise haha. I can really notice my endurance improving, and that's super motivating! I love how awesome I feel after a workout...tired but energized at the same time. Then I had to go to work and show someone how to use the equipment for the first time at the gym...needless to say I was pretty tired by the end of the day.
...Did I mention that I LOVE Cardio Abs? The fact that you never have to do a single crunch is ingenious. And the exercises Shaun has you do target your abs way better than Ab Ribber X in P90X.
And now today I'll get a nice break and do Cardio Recovery. NOT. A lot of people like Cardio Recovery, but I absolutely hate it!! I mean, I love it and hate it at the same time. It is a nice break from all the jumping, but I'd honestly rather jump than do squat pulses. That burn is intense. But I know it's really good for my muscles, and my joints as well, being able to take a break from plyo for a day.
And yep...I still love Shakeology. Just finished one for breakfast (yes, breakfast at 1:29pm...it was a long week and and even longer night, ok??). It's great to be able to satisfy my chocolate fix (which I never eat) and be eating my healthiest meal of the day at the same time. My favorite recipe so far is just a frozen banana, 1 scoop, milk, and once it's all blended cut up frozen strawberries and mix them in with a spoon...soooo yummy. Well, I'm off to start 3 final projects that I should have started 4 months ago. Wish me luck!!
Tip of the day: If you're feeling overwhelmed, don't look at the 60-day calendar, or even the time remaining on the screen. Take 1 second at a time. Just say to yourself...1 or 5 more seconds...not '40 more minutes'. This has helped me push through when my muscles were telling me no.
