Today I got off to a bit of a later start  because it was snowing here!  I am in Atlanta, GA and snow is not all the common here so it is always a big deal for us.  It took me an hour and a half to get home from work and then the kids HAD to go outside and play in the snow (staples in head and all!). We had a great time throwing snowballs at each other. :-)

Afterwards, it was time for some Insanity.  There was something satisfying about looking out the window watching snow fall while sweating bullets in front of the TV.

First up was Pure Cardio, and now I realize this is the last round of both of these workouts during this whole routine as I am rounding the end of Month 1!  Pure Cardio actually went pretty well, I got through almost half of the main 15 minutes before stopping.  I did have to take  about 10 seconds during the switch kicks (my nemesis).  Right in the middle though it gets really insane with power moves and jumps that are just not humanly possible ;-)   Overall though I was quite happy as I am confident I did more than I have any other time in Pure Cardio.

Then it was a short break of less than 3 minutes and on to Cardio Abs.  Its really hard to get started again after cooling down and stretching and then he goes right into high knees and power jumps which are really hard.  As usual, this workout really works the core as you would expect.  It’s all about keeping form and hanging on as long as you can tolerate the burn.

In a strange way, I am sad to see these go.  I guess because I am becoming so familiar with them and have sort of learned how to pace myself.  On the other hand, there is an element of boredom with the repetition.  One more day of month 1 and then off to the recovery week of Core Cardio & Balance.
