Day 18

Cardio Recovery

I ended up taking the day entirely off. I didn't feel great the night before and went to bed a little early. I dusted my alarm and had intended to work out over nap time. I had a stomach ache in the morning and a head ache later on.

Good think it was my low calorie cycle day (1400) because I didn't feel like eating...or moving much. Dark and dreary outside - good day to read books and watch a movie with the kids.

Day 11

Cardio Recovery

This is a cute little workout - only about 35 minutes - that barely breaks a sweat. Don't misunderstand, you WILL work, but you're heart rate will stay down. The workout starts with a nice stretch, then some deep squats and lunges held for an 8 count. We get a little core work with some slow Level 2 style drills and a nice long stretch at the end.

Thankfully - none of THIS today!!

Tomorrow.

Day 4

Cardio Recovery

I was ever so looking forward to a day marked "recovery." On Monday I did my Insanity workout in the morning and an hour Yoga class in the evening. On Tuesday I did my Insanity workout in the morning and then decided to run 3 miles on the treadmill at the YMCA while waiting for my son to finish baseball practice.

My cardio really needed some recovering!

This workout starts out with some yoga style stretching then moves on to some plank, lunge and squat series. I did work up a sweat with all the instruction to "get lower, hold and pulse." Ugh. There was a nice stretch series at the end and overall it was only 33 minutes. Not bad.
