I NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU ALL!!! COMMENT!!! LET'S GET SOME DISCUSSION GOING ON UP IN HERE!
My apologies for the late posts; I've indeed been logging the workouts, but I haven't been able to sign into my account for whatever reason. Maybe blogger was down for maintenance? Who knows?
That aside, I feel the arrogance and cockiness arising day by day! I mean, I walk past the mirror and I'm seeing muscles and definition I'd NEVER seen before! I mean, 21 short days ago, I didn't think I'd be CONSISTENLY seeing abs and definition without having to flex for them, so excuse me for a second while I rejoice!
Tonight was pretty standard; got enough water throughout the day and enough to eat, and I knocked this out. The workout is getting far easier and I'm honestly beginning to sweat less during the Pure Cardio portion. I realized, however, that Month 1 of Insanity is simply a foundational month--a month whereby one increases his endurance and cardiovascular recovery threshold so that in month two you can see AMAZING results.
If month two is anything like this month, I'm in for a treat and a touch more of slow, painful, breathless death! During cardio abs tonight I went ahead on the C-sit position and took my hands off the floor when they're supposed to be by your glutes and got the most fantastic ab burn! Call me sadistic, but I enjoyed it!
I won't change the Insanitometer on either workout just yet, but I'm half tempted to walk it down to 7 from 7.5 on the Pure Cardio portion.
Insanitometer for Pure Cardio: 7.5 out of 10
Insanitometer for Cardio Abs: 6 out of 10
