Thought that would be easier

Today was a workout I have been looking forward to for a little while now, it was the end of week 7 and core cardio and balance. I had it in my mind that it would be a little bit of a break from the last week of getting my butt kicked but it was pretty darn hard and I was sweating more than I think I ever have during that workout. I guess it is because my body is not quite as rested as it was during the recovery week. Before I go into that let me tell you about the weekend and the good things that are coming up this week. We went down to Athens Georgia this weekend, which was about a 6 hour car drive and stayed the night so that we could come back Sunday afternoon. That made for a very early morning for the family. My poor wife got up at 3:50 to get her last turbo jam workout in and I was up at 5 AM to do max recovery. Once it was done, it was in the car for the trip. For going to a party I was able to eat well for the whole weekend which was something I didn't think would happen so that was a nice surprise. Sunday was the hard part, we had to wake up early and drive back then I had to get into max cardio conditioning and cardio abs, trust me when I tell you that a workout like that after 6 hours in a car is quite hard to do. I got through it but really had to work for it, I had to take a break during the abs, I think a lot of it was because of the trip and some of it was because it was following a stupid hard workout. Ether way I felt great at the end and the workout was worth the time. Then came today, core cardio and balance, I had to really put forth some effort to get it done and was pretty tired by the time it was over. Tomorrow is supposed to be a rest day but I will be using it as a chance to do a fit test before going into the final two weeks. Keep an eye out on the blog because I will be posting all four weeks worth of fit test results tomorrow. I hope to see just a little bit of improvement over the last test, even one rep on each of the exercises is going to be a win in my book. Stay tuned.

One last thing, this week is the official start of my INSANITY challenge group and I am excited to see how my first one goes. I think it will be great, as the start gets closer more and more people seem to want to join so good for me. I already have more than 50 posts on the thread and 29 likes to my facebook page.
