Insanity Day 3: Another Day, Another Workout.

Here I am on Day 3 of Insanity. I just finished the workout titled, "Cardio Power & Resistance". Pretty similar to yesterday in that it's more circuit training, but it had some strength exercises. I'm fine with regular push-ups, but this DVD had a new kind I've never seen. You start in a plank position (like you're going to do a regular push-up), but then you walk your feet as far forward towards your hands as possible, without bending your knees, until it gets uncomfortable (but not painful). Then you twist your hands so your fingers are pointing towards each other (towards the center), then do push-ups. It's supposed to exercise you triceps and shoulders. I found them incredibly difficult...something to work on over the next 60 days I suppose.

As was the case yesterday, I was pretty sore when I got out of bed, and just like yesterday the soreness was gone by the time I finished the warm-up. Oh, and the warm-up I thought would be the same every day, wasn't. Completely different today, which was a nice change.

I know it's way too early to say that I'm getting into a bit of a routine, but I must admit I looked forward to the workout. More precisely, I looked forward to the feeling I have AFTER the workout is over.

I haven't gotten on a scale yet. I did weigh myself Sunday night before starting, but I'm not sharing that number here! I know I weigh more at night than I do in the morning. I wonder why that is. If I lose so much weight sleeping, perhaps I should reconsider Insanity and just sleep more? I'm sure everybody sweats a bit when they sleep, but 5 pounds?

I tried to get my dog Kendall to come down to the basement to keep me company today. She wanted nothing to do with it. I must've had that "Do you want to go to the groomer's" look. She hates the groomer, especially the bath. I swear that dog speaks English.

Anyway, I will weigh myself every Sunday morning going forward. That's the only rest day of the week from this program. I'll report my weight loss here, although that certainly isn't my only goal.

Tomorrow is a "recovery" workout. Something tells me it won't feel like one.
