Round 2, Weeks 5 &6

Halfway through!

Halfway if you don't count the skipped workouts, I'm afraid.  I was hoping to go a week without having to skip a workout but that did not happen during these two weeks.  I skipped cardio abs for both weeks.  I might make those up on my rest days but lately I've been having to use my rest days to make up for a previously skipped day!  Does cardio abs really do anything anyway? Other than that I skipped a running workout on week 5 and two Core Cardio and Balance workouts for week 6.  Those are all workouts that I consider skip-able so I am still on track with all the main Insanity workouts.

I bought a large foam roller today.  I am about to go use it and do not think the experience will be a pleasurable one.

I have now completed all the month one workouts.  Next week we start the Maximum workouts!

Day 60 - Core Cardio and Balance

I'm running a little short on time tonight so this will be short.

Core Cardio and Balance felt pretty nice today.  I can see working this one into my post Insanity routine.  It gave me a nice recovery so I can finish my LAST THREE DAYS strong!

Boy, that day 60 up there looks nice.

Tomorrow is Max Cardio Conditioning and Cardio Abs.  I believe I'll be able to do Cardio Abs before work and the main workout afterwards.  Of course my schedule finally allows me to do that on the last time this workout will come up.

Day 55 - Core Cardio and Balance

This was just what I needed.  I'm glad that this workout is thrown in a few times in the second month because you really do need a break.  I woke up this morning completely exhausted.  If I had a full Max workout today I doubt I could have done it.  I feel good now and I have a rest day tomorrow so I ought to be all recovered going into the last week!  I did look ahead to see what I have to look forward to and it does look tough but I noticed that the Max Recovery is replaced with Core Cardio and Balance.  This I like!  I said that I liked Max Recovery but that was just when compared to Cardio Recovery.  Honestly, I doubt I'll ever do either of the Recoveries again.

Tomorrow is my rest day.  I'll be at work for half of it so it won't be as restful as I'd like.  Ciao!

Day 48 - Core Cardio and Balance

This is the same workout from the recovery week.  It is a workout that I quite enjoy.  It offers a good workout but isn't balls to the wall crazy like the other main workouts of Insanity.  Having it pop up in the middle of the second month was a nice change of pace and offered some much needed recovery.  After my lackluster workout yesterday my quads and calf muscles really started to cramp up.  That is pretty unusual for me.  It looks like Core Cardio and Balance will show up a couple of more times in the final two weeks of  the program.  I think that is good because looking ahead, those weeks look pretty rough.

Tomorrow is a rest day.
