Day 8: Insanity Workout Review - Cardio and Resistance

Last night seemed to fly by, I still got around seven hours of sleep but the morning felt like it came so fast. Although the rest day was nice, sometimes it's hard to get motivated again after you have a break, because the "rest day" is so nice you just want more of them. But I did my Insanity workout this morning and it went really well. I felt like this was the best I did so far in any Insanity workout. The Power Cardio and Resistance workout is a pretty intense workout...I mean, they all are...there is no really easy workout, but they are all tough in their own way. What do you expect though with a fitness program called Shaun T Insanity!

So in today's Insanity workout, I really wanted to challenge myself to stay in the workouts as much as possible, take less breaks and more reps. I felt like I did better with that this time around on this power cardio and resistance workout. There were times when I want to take breaks but I decided to push through, even if I did take a break it was only for a few seconds. There are a lot of power moves in this workout, a lot of squats and moves where you need to focus on your core. There are also some wonderful push ups in this workout, so far this workout has the most upper body workouts. After all the circuits are done, there is one last exercise called 8 squats and 8 push ups (something like that). This is where you really have to push through, you are so tired from all the circuits, but this exercise really is important, because this is a great exercise. You want to push your body to failure, where it just cannot do anymore.

Today for my breakfast I had a Shakeology smoothie, I did two scoops of shakeology and blended it with water and ice. I actually really like starting my day off like this, because I make a couple cup fulls of this smoothie. It is pretty much all water, but it fills me up so much. For mid lunch today I will probably have a pita bread sandwich. I do not know what else I am going to have after that, but I what I will not have and that is a roast beef tortilla, those things give me so much gas it is ridiculous!!
