Insanity round 2: day 3-4

Yesterday was plyometric cardio circuit and today was cardio power and resistance. And I can say that they were still tough but nothing like the first time doing it first time around.

I was able to go through the warm ups without stopping, which is fantastic considering the first time around I was stopping frequently.

I still curse at Shaun T during the exercises but who doesn’t? You’re working your ass off and you’re being pushed to your max. But when you complete a set you fill fulfilled and proud.

When I first started insanity my quads and calves were on fire. You do a lot of jumping, football stances and running in place + jumping. If this is your first time doing insanity, be prepared for sore calves and quads. But be proud of that, that means you put in work.

So far second round of insanity is still challenging but not Everest like it was the first time doing it.

Please feel free to ask questions or comment on these particular exercises. I may be able to provide detail that I’m not providing through my daily blurbs.

Insanity Journal: Fit Test

So I thought I would do a Insanity journal this second time around. figured I would log what I do publicly so others may be able to find any beneficial info from it as I have found in others. 

so, yesterday was day 1. the Fit Test and I was anxious to see how i would do given that i havent done a fit test in about a month and a half. and my results were as i expected. didnt beat my max from my last month but some exercises were as good as my first half test and some were as good as my last months test. so i wasn’t too disappointed. 

with that said im confident that my following tests will be fantastic. here are the results:

Switch Kicks: 110

Power Jacks: 54

Power Knees: 100

Power Jumps: 60

Globe Jumps: 11

Suicide Jumps: 20

Push-up Jacks: 21

Low Plank Oblique: 24

over all not too bad to a start of a second session. we shall see how the rest of it goes.

now it’s time for Plyometric Cardio Circuit…
