Power and resistance
Yep, second workout of INSANITY today, Cardio Power and Resistance. Things in this workout changed up a little bit, the warm up was a little different, still had jogging, butt kicks, and 1-2-3s but it had some new moves that were not part of yesterday's warm up so that was nice. The way the warm up went was the same, three round of the moves faster each time. By the time the 10 minutes ended I was already starting to sweat and it was dripping off me while going into the stretches so I knew I was going to be in for a good workout today. I was a fan of the workout, it was a little bit shorter than yesterday's so I figured how hard could it be. I learned pretty quickly. Since this workout had some strength involved I got to do some fun exercises like shoulder presses and walking push ups. The shoulder presses were not quite like the ones in P90X, Shawn has you bring your feet a little closer to your hands and then point your fingers at each other when doing the presses. This turns out to be just a little bit more difficult because it adds more of your body weight but I was able to get through them. Shawn also has you do these fetal position like presses that work your triceps but I didn't feel all the much burn on those, I am thinking I have a little work to do on the form there I might pop the DVD in tomorrow and watch that move again to see if I was doing it right today. I did enjoy the moving push ups, those are where you do a push up while separating your feet and hands on the way down and bringing them back together on the way up moving 2 right then 2 left. Those and the 8 and 8s put a good burn on me. The 8 and 8 is going to a plank position, doing 8 push ups followed by 8 mountain climbers and standing back up, near the end of those I was not quite getting to the 8 push ups every time but didn't do too bad. I felt like I did a lot more sweating today than I did yesterday and again it took about 30 minutes to stop even after my shower but the good news is I really didn't have to pull up and catch my breath during the workout just had to slow down on a couple of the jumping moves. I can't wait for today to end because it will bring time with the family closer and get me going on the next workout. In case you are wondering it is Cardio Recovery but from all that I have heard the work "recovery" should not be used, I was told to expect to have my quads lit on fire. I guess we will see but so far I am loving the program.
