Great workout today. My whole body is feeling really good after a full day off. I did some push-up and plank work in today's Extreme Cardio workout, but I also modified a bit. No rotator cuff pain, and no back pain. I will continue with the daily heat pad and stretches.
I burned 845 calories today. I only have 3 weeks left. This must be what a smoker feels like 3 weeks before New Years every year. I'm looking forward to it but I'm also going to miss it. Only thing is, this is a good addiction, and I don't have to quit in 3 weeks. I've pretty much settled on the fact that I'm going to repeat Insanity from the beginning. I will take a week off to heal first. I've also ordered a couple of bonus DVDs that come with the Deluxe Insanity (which I didn't purchase) that include a new Extreme Abs and Upper Body Workout (the latter which actually uses weights). In doing the order, I was connected with a Beachbody "coach" online. He already sent me an e-mail and friended me on Facebook. I wasn't really looking for a coach but it will be interesting to see what guidance he can provide, especially as I'm reaching the end of Round 1. Since my primary goal in getting fit is weight loss, I think repeating Insanity makes sense. Once I get closer to my goal, I'd like to add P90X in and do some type of hybrid program. Everyone online says I should do P90X as a standalone program before doing a hybrid, but I'm not going to listen to them. One, I like Insanity way too much, and two, I need something that is more cardio based with just a sprinking of weights and muscle work. I've always marched to the beat of my own drummer. Just ask my wife or my Mom. Ok, you can probably ask just about anybody who knows me. ;-)
Speaking of drummers, I play the drums in a local rock band and we have a gig this Friday. About the only other time I'm as soaked as the end of an Insanity workout is the end of a 3-hour gig. So it should be interesting to see how I handle a morning Insanity workout followed by the gig. Just lugging the drums and PA system up from the basement, into the car, out of the car and into the bar where we're playing, then back into the car, then back down into the basement...that's a workout in and of itself. Luckily with that part I'll have help from my bandmates (right guys?)
Alright, enough for today. Thanks for continuing to read the blog, and have a great week!
