Monday (3/21/11) Cardio Power and Resistance – Now that I know what to expect I’m able to pace myself a little better. The jumps in this one are tough for me. Seems to really get my heart rate up.

Seems a little strange to open the window at 4:30am with outdoor temps in the low 40s but it feels good. Looks like we’re putting an air conditioning unit in the workout room this summer if we keep doing Insanity once it gets warm.

Tuesday (3/22/11) Pure Cardio – I made it through Shaun’s Insanity ‘Warm Up’ without pausing. I took my first mini break doing the Switch Kicks and by the time I got to the Level 2 Drills they breaks weren’t that mini any more. Fast push-ups during those drills are a killer and I could only make it to the second set of eight.

Wednesday (3/23/11) Plyometric Cardio Circuit – Another warm up without a break but went downhill from there. By the second level of the second circuit I was having a hard time making it past the halfway point of each exercise. Then for some strange reason the computer I use to play the videos in our workout room shut down. It restarted again but it took long enough that I was starting to cool down. All in all not my best effort. I’ll have to push a little harder next time.

Thursday (3/24/11) Cardio Recovery – Since this is a short half hour workout I hit the snooze alarm for another 15 minutes of sleep (to help with recovery, right?). I’m still struggling with staying in some of the deep squats as long as they are in the video so need to work on endurance. Other than that a nice easy morning.

Friday (3/25/11) Cardio Power & Resistance – This one is another leg killer for me showing that I need to work on my legs more especially the Vertical Jumps.

Saturday (3/26/11) Pure Cardio – Spring is here and the weekends are getting buys, but still cold… Didn’t get to the workout until 8:00pm which is a half hour before I’m usually in bed. I was supposed to follow up with Cardio Abs but was ready to call it a night. Kathy waited took this as her off day and did the workouts on Sunday which was probably the smarter thing to do.

Workout Review 3/21/11 – 3/27/11 Insanity, Week 2…

We decided to start things slow and work back up to where we were by doing an accelerated Power 90 program fist.

Saturday (1/1/11) Sweat 1-2 We start off with the basic cardio routine of sweat 1-2 followed by ab ripper 100. Everything goes fine for our fist day.

Sunday (1/2/11) Sculpt 1-2 Kathy is really feeling her abs today! Since being away from working out for a bit and still putting up with tennis elbow I am taking things slow and reduced the weight from our last P90X workouts.

Monday (1/3/11) Sweat 1-2 Ouch, we’re both sore. I guess I’m in worse shape than I thought. Made it through the cardio and ab ripper.

Tuesday (1/4/11) Sweat 1-2 Wow, I’m still really feeling it in my arms so don’t want to push things. We do another round of Sweat 1-2 but skip the ab ripper today.

Wednesday (1/5/11) Sweat 1-2 Still sore and not wanting to push things we do Sweat again, this time with ab ripper 100.

Thursday (1/6/11) Sculpt 1-2 Feeling fine this morning so back to weights. Sculpt circuit completed with no issues.

Friday (1/7/11) Day off. Feeling much better with just the normal soreness from a good workout!
