Week 8 has started off great!
Can you hear the sarcasm in that?
For one, I'm doing everything a day behind when I normally should, which throws me off completely.
For two, I'm doing the Shakeology Three Day Cleanse, which leaves me begging for energy about halfway through the workout. If I could harness the power of anything to get through them the way I know I can, I'd be a happy camper.
However, I'm not a happy camper. I should have listened to myself and waited until AFTER Insanity was over to do the cleanse. I almost hurt myself twice today doing Max Interval Plyo because I got light headed. If you're not used to doing a cleanse, have never done one before, or are not used to exercising, I highly recommend NOT doing one while doing Insanity. Do it before you do the program, or after. Just not during. Maybe it's just me, but yeah.
So, Max Interval Plyo. My friend. How I will miss you when I'm bouncing around doing Turbo Jam in two weeks. (Did you see the sarcasm there too? LOL!). I know the workouts haven't changed, and I know I've beat this poor horse to death before, but I swear they come in, steal my workouts, and switch them with modified ones. They always seem harder than last time. I guess that either means I'm slacking or I'm pushing myself harder.
Knowing me - it's probably both. :)
I did do 7 S-S jumps today during the first group of intervals though. That made me happy. I still can't keep up with the machines when they are doing Level 3 Drills though. I just go at my own pace, and it seems to work. I'm not a huge fan of what I call "burpies" (Level Drills to Mr. Shaun T), and I've never been able to do them well. Getting on the floor and assuming my body is going to catch itself is not going to happen for a very long time, if ever.
Oh, and the knee step things - I can't remember the real name at the moment - I love those. They hurt, but they feel great at the same time. :)
I'm seriously debating whether or not to do Max Cardio Conditioning tonight, or just push this whole thing back. MCC is more intense (for me) than Max Interval Plyo, so I'm thinking I'm just going to push this entire week back one day. If I wasn't doing the cleanse - yeah I'd push myself to do it. But, this just means my FINAL FIT TEST (yay!) will be on Monday instead of Sunday. I'm thinking that sounds just fine to me.
Besides, if I push it back it gives me more time to play Diablo III. Which I'm going to do right after I proofread this and publish it. :)
See ya tomorrow!
