Woo hoo!  The last exercise of the week!  I can’t believe I made it through this week to be honest, it is HARD.  I am not going to sugar coat it for you all, I have been huffing and puffing my way through all week.  There is a reason this is called INSANITY!  I miss the days of 35 minute workouts :-)

I don’t want to scare anyone away, but I have to be straight up and tell you how I feel.  The workouts are almost an hour long each day and it certainly is harder than month 1.  I do believe though this is all for a reason.  By the end of this thing I think I will be able to run a marathon and then bench press a car!

Now for the good part, I am feeling like this week I made progress each day.  I am getting stronger, my endurance is increasing and I really feel like I could do just about anything athletic better than most anyone I know.  I am curious to go for a run and see how I perform or go out on the basketball court and test my fitness level against everyone else.  Of course that will have to wait until it is all done because I can’t see myself doing more exercise in a day than a round of Insanity.

Today was the second time I have done Max Interval Plyo.  This one to me is just about as hard as the Max Interval Circuit.  It so strangely comforting that it is 5 minutes less than Circuit though.  I did a lot better this time around, but of course there were times where I was holding my knees panting.  There are just some parts of the routine that are truly INSANE!  Like doing power jumps after 2 or 3 other quad buring exercises, or doing to rounds of Level 3 Drills resulting in 32 push ups in like 45 seconds or something.

Overall, I powered through it though and left with a feeling of great satisfaction.  It is hard to believe I have been at this so long already.  Now that I am rested, I feel great and am SOOOOO looking forward to the rest day, especially since I didn’t have one last week.
