America, if I thought Monday was bad, Tuesday was not even on the Richter Scale.
I think this one was 48:15, or something like that. Not quite an hour, but certainly long enough to make you regret every decision you made that day. I remember looking up at the time and shedding a little tear when I saw I still had 28 min left.
Anywhos, the warm up is the same as yesterday and equally as difficult. Shaun T even says we're allowed to go faster than him if we can, since we're supposed to be BOSS at the program by now. He speaks lies; never trust a man with a shaved chest and an ear piece.
So plyo, as the name implies, is plyometrics. It's the same concept as last month just with more complex moves done at a faster pace. I love all the moves because they involve your entire body. Pretty much your entire body is working the entire time, thus resulting in a ridic amount of sweating. Apparently it's something like 3 min of high intensity exercise followed by 30 sec of rest. So in lamen's terms that's 128947 min of high intensity exercise followed 2 sec of rest...or at least that's what it feels like. It's hard, man. Like for reals.
1. Rotational squat jumps. I'm pretty sure I heard my left cry out and say, "WHY WHY WHY??!" about half way through, which is concerning since that's actually supposed to be the "good knee"...
2. Level 3 drills: 16 push ups, followed by 16 mountain climbers, done twice. Again, not to sound sexist, but the male Insanity minions had an easier time doing these thanthe women, and I'm totally not exaggerating that. I don't think any of the women did all 16 push ups, at least not the ones I saw. The men on the other hand, had no problems. I still think Shaun T's counting on that could be slower, but then again, he didn't consult me on the program before making it - OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE TOLD HIM TO INCLUDE UPPER BODY STRETCHES...
I'm just saying. But I digress.
Back to these Level 3 drills. They're hard. I think I did 15/36. Don't judge. You also have to do these at the end of the workout, so that was basically all the energy I had left. I looked up and saw Shaun T's mainhoe minion doing 1 push up for every 3 he did. So, there's that. Thus, my suspicions were confirmed. We also did side push ups, which I found rather difficult/pointless. I'm sure it's supposed to work the obliques, since the body is supposed to be slightly twisted, but I found most of the work was coming from my lats, which are still in pain from yesterday so you can imagine how much fun I wasn't was having.
3. New push ups: We did two new kinds of push ups, squat push ups (yes that's the lovely Shaun T) and power push ups (forgive his music for he knows not what he does). They're much harder than they look. I'm gonna B.L.O.W.N. if I can't do like 1289047174 push ups after I finish this program.
One of the funny new things we started this month are these jump rope moves. If you think back, you'll notice I've never mentioned purchasing a jump rope for the program...
I LOLed the entire time we were doing them because it's you literally have to play make believe, just like you used to do as a child. And the funny thing is, it actually works! If you imagine yourself jumping rope, you start to move like there's an actual rope moving under your feet! So pretty much what I'm trying to say is STOP SPENDING MONEY ON JUMP ROPES AND MAKE BELIEVE FOR FREE. That should save you like $5. You're welcome.
As for the stretches, same ol' same ol'. They added a new hamstring stretch which pissed me off greatly. I did my own upper body stretches to try and get these kinks out of my back. I need a massage. But since ain't nobody got money or time for that, I'll just complain about my pain on here. Thanks for inadvertently listening to my woes. Also, I'm really scared for today. "Conditioning" is an aggressive word in the realm of max interval training...

*Side Note*
I keep having revelations about the time at the same point in the workout, no matter which one I'm doing (approx. 30 min in). Sensing a pattern? Now imagine how short my attention span was in class. The focus struggle is SO real.
