I apologize about how long it has been since I've posted. Last week was "Recovery Week," which, as I posted, was not much of a recovery. We did the same DVD all week, so I really didn't feel like I had anything to post about. We did go out to eat with friends on Friday night, and I ate more than I should have...but I guess that will happen now and then! I am proud to say that I did not partake in much of the Super Bowl food that I was around! I ate a bit of the Skinny Buffalo Chicken Dip (thanks to my hostess for making it "skinny"), and some veggies (and maybe one chocolate oatmeal cookie...but, again, it's oatmeal right?!)!
So yesterday, we started the second set of DVD's in the INSANITY series. In the pamphlet, it said that you would think you were in shape, until the next set starts...and that was definitely true. We started with the fit test (results to follow), then did "Max Interval Circuit." In case you're keeping up, that was an hour and twenty minutes of Shaun T! I continued to improve on ALL of the fit test exercises!! the following DVD, on the other hand...OMG!! Brandon and i kept looking at each other like, "What in the world?!" It was just non-stop! I'm glad they get you a month into the program before they drop this workout on you...or there is NO way that we would have stuck with it this long, nor would we have made it through the first night!
Tonight's DVD was "Max Interval Plyo." I'm not sure which workout was harder...last night's or tonight's. Brandon swears that tonight's was harder because it was all power moves, but I'm not sure! Tonight's was definitely hard, so I'll say they were equally as hard (like that diplomatic answer?)! I wish I could begin to explain the moves that we did tonight. Lots of jumping...from hands to feet, from push up position to feet, jumping while in a push up position...if it was jumping, we did it. I am already sore, so I dread what tomorrow will feel like! Tomorrow we have "Max Cardio," which is this set's version of "Pure Cardio" so I'm sure it'll be easy (if you have been reading this blog, please tell me you catch that sarcasm!!!!!).
So here are my fit test results!!!
