Insanity Day 46: Took It Easy for Max Recovery Today!

I really suffered last week with the Max Recovery workout, which isn't a recovery at all. There's no cardio, but the plank work is the most brutal in all of Insanity. I skipped a few of the exercises to avoid aggravating my shoulders, but I did the side-planks and all the other stuff, especially all the stretching which is excellent. I still worked up a bit of a sweat. Once I'm done with Insanity I definitely need to incorporate some upper body weight lifting to get my shoulders to the point that I can do all the plank work in Insanity. As I've said before, it's not a muscle soreness feeling. It's real pain, like I'm straining tendons or my joint itself. I still think it's rotator cuff related, and I also plan to do some exercises specifically to strengthen those tendons, but not until after Round 1 is over!

I'm looking forward to the Max Cardio and Cardio Abs double-workout tomorrow. I may do the Cardio Abs tonight because tomorrow is going to be crazy busy getting ready for our band's gig. Setup will probably start around 4pm...It's a long process!

Got a whole bunch of family coming up to see the gig, and the grandchildren and grand-dog (who's at her least favorite place on the planet today...the groomer's!). My parents, my wife's parents, and even my wife's Aunt. Should be fun!
