Insanity Day 2

Wow. I did not realize how out of shape I was until today. I did the day 2 which is the Plyometric Cardio Circuit. Started off with a warm-up which really gets your heart pumping. I expected a break after it but it just jumps right into the first circuit. After you complete the first circuit you then stretch. I was able to make it through fine until the second circuit after the stretches.

I think I stopped the video about 6-7 times to rest as I could not go anymore. Insanity is intense! I also recommend that when you do the workouts that you wear shoes. I made the mistake of going barefoot since it is in my living room, but some exercises put a lot of extreme stretch on your feet if you are barefoot. Also they will throw in some random exercises that you have not seen yet in there. For example on your third time through a circuit, the intensity is at the max and at the end they throw in a new random exercise that was different from what you did on the lower intensities.

My recommendation on the rests is to get through the 3 minutes of exercise and when you get to the 30 seconds of rest, that is where you pause and extend it. Do not pause in the middle of the circuit exercises otherwise you will cool down and it will be so much harder to get back into it.

My plan now is to eat a good meal and drink a protein shake that I made for recovery. I am thinking of doing day 3 later tonight since I got a Wednesday start, but I may rethink that idea later.

Will post again after I do day 3 video. Also will be posting before pictures tonight
