Day 2 of Insanity! Last night I did day 2 of insanity. I was pretty sore from Day 1. My legs were incredibly sore and so was my lower back and shoulders. I kept getting more and more sore as the day went on. My meals throughout the day followed the nutrition guide...at least until dinner..
Breakfast: Whole Wheat english muffin with Jif natural peanut butter (2.5tbs). Along with approx 1 cup of raspberries.
Lunch: 1/2 whole wheat pita pocket stuffed with roast beef, kale, sliced cherry tomatoes and feta cheese. Also a Kraft tomato and basil string cheese with water.
Afternoon snack: I had the same thing as lunch except instead of string cheese I had the other half of the raspberries I had.
Dinner: Not so good, I had a 3/4 of a pasta bread bowl from Dominoes pizza
After workout snack: 1 cup of almond milk with 1 scoop of chocolate peanut butter whey protein.
During my workout I also drank about 30-36oz of water. I had already drank half of my glass by the time the "warm up" was over.
Getting started for the workout was hard since I was so sore. The warm up was slightly different than Day 1's workout which was nice. I like changing it up everyday. In the past I had tried to do the "Jillian Michael's 30 day shred" which was good, but I never lasted all 30 days. I believe the most I lasted was 10 days because I got bored of watching the same thing and doing the same thing every day. I love how with insanity it is a different workout everyday and you don't repeat a workout until the next week. There is a different DVD for each workout for 6 days.
By the 3rd round of the warm up I was already sweating a lot. Then came the stretching which was a nice break and felt awesome on my sore muscles. Then the insanity began. There were more exercises that involved your arms in this routine. A few of them worked your triceps. Apparently I have none. I had to do triceps dips and every time I tried to bend my arms to do a dip I fell down. I think I managed about 3 dips. Power jumps were also pretty intense and globe jumps. My legs were already so sore that going from a squatting to jumping position just burned. There were also "moving push ups" and V-push ups. I know they want you to go faster as you repeat the routine after each 30 second water break but I just worked on good form as fast as I could instead of compromising form just to do them faster. They say that in the DVD anyway. I was dripping with sweat by the end of the DVD. Halfway through my workout I had my boyfriend refill my water glass because it was almost empty. I was very happy when it was time for the cool down stretches. I was so tired. I drank half of a bottle of water and then made my protein shake.
I took a hot bath afterwards because my muscles were sore from the day before and already shaky and sore from that workout. During the night I did wake up because I had moved my leg and it was so sore around my upper thigh/hip/butt area.
I was too tired last night to write a blog post LOL. I've actually been feeling okay today. Sore but not to where I can't move. I'm excited to do day 3 of insanity tonight!!!
