Today is a recovery day. So, I had to do Max Recovery. Last week, when we did this workout, I did not enjoy it at all. I felt like it was pointless. But, today I felt much better about it. I actually feel like it would help with flexibility and strength. It doesn't leave you breathless, but it does fatigue your muscles at certain times. And, just about every exercise focuses on the core at least a little bit. My tummy is my "problem" area right now. I would like to focus on getting my spare tire to disappear. I know I have lost inches so far, but not as many as I would like. I am hoping that days like today, where we focus on a lot of core work, help me to slim down!
As I sit here, I start to think about how far I have come, but I realize I still have a long ways to go. To anyone thinking of doing Insanity, I say you should go for it!! And, to the people who have started and quit because they just felt too out of shape or didn't feel like they could to it, I say to try again and stick with it this time! I can't really say it gets "easier", but it does get much better. The reason it doesn't get easier is because the better of shape you get in, the harder you can push yourself. I really can't see myself every being able to complete 100% of the exercises in this program, but I feel like that is how the program is designed. No matter what kind of shape you are in, you will be able to get a great workout and there is always room for improvement! When I started, I couldn't make it through the warmup. Seriously. I probably couldn't even make it through half of the warmup. I still have to stop now and then even during the warmup, but it feels great to be able to get further and further into each workout without stopping!
Tomorrow is Max Cardio Conditioning and Cardio Abs. I am anxious for more core work and am looking forward to getting through the next couple of weeks to see my end result from this round of Insanity!
Day 47....Looking forward to it.
