I will take no fun for $100
What is no fun you ask, how about three INSANITY workouts in about an 8 hour window that is what is no fun. I had a really bad morning yesterday and I knew my head was not going to be in my workout so I decided that it would be a good idea to not do my workout that morning. I was just going to take an additional day off and not take my next rest day since I was going into recovery week but at the advice of my wife I did my pure cardio and cardio abs workout after putting Haley to bed. I ended up getting my workout started at about 8:15 or so and finished it up a little after 9. When I was done I had a recoup drink to help with the soreness since my legs had still been feeling a little weak since Monday's workout, took a shower and was in bed not too long after 9:30. I think working out that late did not do me much good because I just felt weak the whole time and for the first time in a few workouts I had to stop at the end for a few minutes to catch my breath. Then it was on to the cardio abs and it was more of the same, I could not hold the exercises until the end a few times, which isn't all that big a deal since non of the people on the DVD do either but when I have done it all the way through in the past it did upset me a little bit. I figure one of two things were the cause, either working out at the end of the night didn't give me enough energy to get through or since I was focused on keeping the abs and core contracted the whole time I might have used more energy than I have in past workouts. Judging by how my core feels today I would like to think it is the latter of the two but I could be wrong who know. Today was cardio power and resistance just a short 7 hours or so after my last workout. I woke up and my legs were sore and tired and I still had to go into the workout. I started a little timid but was able to shake that off and get to the end without stopping. When it was done I was happy not to stop but I was just feeling beat up. I know it isn't truly a recovery week but it will feel good to have a week with less jumping around to help me recover before I really start kicking my own butt with the MAX workouts
