Insanity: Day 11 – Cardio Recovery
11 down and ... how many more to go?
Recovery is always a nice day because you really don't do too much other than stretch for the day. It was a nice change this morning, as it was last week when we did recovery. My body had a chance to get warm without getting hammered. And I had a chance to stretch my sore, tired muscles.
Of course there are parts of the recovery routine that are pretty intense - this is Insanity after all - but the little bits of intensity aren't anywhere near as bad as the other routines we do. My legs are tired today, from the squat and lunge pulses we did, but it is manageable.
I think of all the things that are hurting me right now, my energy is the worst. I didn't get to sleep until 12:30 this morning and ended up waking up at 5:00 to work out. I'm rather amazed at how fast I am waking up now after a few days where I thought I wouldn't be able to even get out of bed. So that was awesome. But still, I am flat exhausted.
I guess that means I better take advantage of the rest of the day since tomorrow, bright and early, I will be hitting the floor again, this time to Cardio Power and Resistance.
Yeah, I am soooo looking forward to that.

Your blog keeps me going! I read your blog everyday before I do my workout for the day. I follow it corresponding to the day I’m on, and it’s really helpful! Most blogs on Insanity end around day 11 or 12 but you made it ALL THE WAY! Can’t wait to finish
Thanks for a wonderful blog!

That is awesome! Keep pushing through it. It gets easier to do more as you continue on and, if you let the mentality set in, you will stay healthy even after you’re done. I completed round 2 in July and haven’t gained back any of the weight I’ve lost. I am now starting P90X (this week) and looking forward to building some muscle.
