Max Cardio Conditioning

Wrapped up cardio conditioning last night.  47:18 of literally non-stop moving. I guess the thing that sets the conditioning apart from the other workouts is that there are no designated water breaks in the entire routine.

That's right.  The thirst struggle was real.


So it starts off the same as before, only this time the 3rd go 'round we did the original warm up for some odd reason.  I'm not at all sure what the reason for bringing back that ol' thing, but whatevs. As for the stretching is basically 30 min of non-stop movement.  Most of these moves were new.  Aside from the diamond jumps there wasn't a whole lot  jumping.  Actually, this was a lot of kicking and high knee movements.  There were some push up and push up-esque moves, but I really couldn't do much of those because my lats are still R.I.P. from Monday.  Hopefully they'll be better today so I can do more.

There were so many moves in this workout that I don't really remember specifics of any of them, and unlike the other workouts, we didn't have any repeats sections.  It was literally back-to-back new sections.  The first week of conditioning is always done alone, but it will be paired with Max Cardio Abs in subsequent weeks.  I can only imagine... I still remember the original Cardio Abs and how challenging that was.  Now it's going to be harder and I'm going to be even more burnt out than I was last month.  Pray for me...

Also, I feel like I've slimmed down s'more around the middle and in my legs.  This makes me very happy since it's getting increasingly more difficult to motivate myself to do the workout each today.  Yesterday it took me 2.5 hrs and a nap to motivate myself to press play, even though the tape was already in the machine (don't judge).  Hopefully I don't hit a plateau like I did with the fist month.  The thing is, the scale still says the same thing.  That's why I never bothered to buy one before.  They don't really tell an accurate story of health, and I think they're wrong more often than not.  But that could just be the bitterness and fat talking.  Take it with a grain of salt.

I just downed 5/8 slices of pizza a little while ago, so I'm gonna wait another hour or so before I pop in today's tape.  Is pepperoni pizza part of the Insanity diet, you ask?  No.  But is it part of my it's-Thursday-and-my-favorite-tv-show-comes-on-plus-it's-almost-friday diet?  Yesss.  Therefore, it's totally justified.
