Starting week 2 of Insanity with some Cardio Power & Resistance. I burned 631 calories, with my heart rate peaking at 177 and averaging 154.
I've noticed my calorie counts are lower this time around and it just occurred to me why: The calories burned is calculated in part based on my weight. I weighed over 20 pounds more last time I did Insanity. I updated my weight in my heart monitor watch when I started Round 2. This must be one of the reasons why it gets harder to lose weight the lighter you get: You have to work harder to burn the same number of calories.
Anyway, I felt strong today, even with the moving push-ups and globe jumps. Power jumps are still hard as hell, but I'm getting better and better at them as time goes by. Still, I can't imagine ever enjoying them!
I may go running on Wednesday. Not sure what (if anything) I'll do regarding my scheduled Insanity workout. Perhaps I'll do both. Not sure yet. I'll figure that out tomorrow...
Have a great week everyone!
