Insanity Round 2 Day "27": I Should Be Recovering, But No...

Today is Monday. It should be my first Recovery workout between Month 1 and Month 2, but I didn't complete my Saturday "Day 27" workout. Instead, my wife and I did 4 hours of yard work on Saturday, and another 2 on Sunday. Re-edging landscaping beds in preparation for new mulch, trimming bushes, weeding...all that kind of really fun stuff. We both were sweating like crazy doing all that back-breaking work, so I was in no shape or mood for an Insanity workout after that. I remember back from Round 1 how repetitive the Recovery week was, so I figured a good option would be to complete my last "real" workout today then do the Recovery the rest of the week. So that's what I did!

Anyway, I completed Plyometric Cardio Circuit today. I burned 612 calories, with my heart rate peaking at 173 and averaging 145. I felt really good today. My cardio continues to improve, and it's getting harder and harder to get my hear rate up to 180. My recovery time also continues to improve. It was really gratifying to know I've completed Month 1 yet again, but I'm not looking forward to Month 2. If you've never done Month 2, you may not understand, but if you have, you certainly do. The workouts are 50% longer (60 minutes instead of 40), and the moves themselves are much more intense. But that's still a week away, so I won't worry too much about it today.

Have a great week!
