Insanity: Day 10 – Plyometric Cardio Circuit
I can't explain why, but today was very hard for me. I woke up feeling tired, dehydrated and lethargic, so even starting the program this morning was a chore. I picked up very quick, however, once the program started, but keeping up was a problem for me today.
Still, I know things are getting better for me with this program since I can make it almost through the entire warm up without resting. I did have to take breaks today, but it was because I was cramping up so bad. Today is the first time I have ever cramped up while doing Insanity. I think I need more water.
My next goal in Insanity is be able to not only complete the warm up but to do it at a higher pace in the second and third segments. I'd love to be in a full blown sweat by the time stretches come along. As of now I sweat pretty good after the warm up, but it is only a mild sweat.
Of course I know that in order to pick up the pace of my work outs I need to step through some of the pain and push my thresholds a little further. Which I am starting to become very comfortable doing. I'm feeling sort of accomplished with this since I have started to clearly see some of my limits and have been able to push beyond them in some cases.
So, until tomorrow when its time for a recovery day, I bid you encouragement. If you are on your own Insanity journey, take heart, it will get better. If you are thinking of starting it, do it. No more thinking. Just put the DVD in, get a glass of water and hit play.
And don't look back. If you do, you can't keep a tight core.
