Today is Saturday, and it's Day 62 of Insanity. Two of us, my wife and I, just finished two workouts: Max Cardio and Cardio Abs. It's the last workout of the program. Tomorrow is the Fit Test and I will have completed Insanity! I feel absolutely great that I made it through, but I'll reflect more on that after tomorrow.
I burned 1148 calories today. As usual, I pushed myself harder with my wife there. My heart rate hit 188 and averaged 152.
My sciatic nerve tingling has not returned but my back is still a bit sore. I did the heat pad and stretching again last night and it felt much better today, but I modified a couple of exercises to avoid some of the bending down. I left nothing in the tank. I was "Gauley River exhausted" at the end of Max Cardio, completely dripping in sweat with my shirt soaked all the way through. It was awesome!
After some snow on Thursday night, it's finally starting to feel like spring with sunny skies and temps in 50s today and tomorrow. I may go for that first run tomorrow after the Fit Test. We'll see...
I'm still trying to decide exactly how I'll be working out these next few weeks before I leave for a ski trip. I don't want to have a sore back there, so I may just pick and choose a few Month 1 Insanity workouts to do and skip the moves that aggravate my back, then restart Insanity after I return from Colorado. I definitely want to keep my cardio up so I don't lose anything I've gained these past two months... I'll figure that out on Monday.
Have a great weekend!
