Well, today officially marked the end of the workouts for the first month of Insanity!  I have to say it is a bittersweet feeling.  On one hand I am sad to see these workouts go because I am getting quite familiar with them and am progressively getting better at them.  On the other hand, the repetition gets to be boring at times as you start to memorize all of the things he says . . . “don’t spread your legs too wide . . . Josh”.  Just little things you notice.  Another example is on this video he misses a certain stretch on the left side.

With that said, the workout went very well.  I accomplished one of my goals for this workout which was to complete the first circuit all the way through.  I am very proud of this little accomplishment as I was only about 10 seconds away on other days.  I did pretty good as well on the second circuit, but that one definitely gets insane with the ski abs and in and outs.  The level 1 drills are getting easier (relatively), but I have to do them slower than he pushes on the video.  Anyway, I pushed through the last few minutes feeling proud and strong knowing I am basically half way there!

Tomorrow is a rest day and then the “recovery” week.  I quote the term recovery because I don’t know what the Core Cardio and Balance workout is all about yet.  With Shaun T, nothing is easy that’s for sure!  Next week you do the Core Cardio & Balance routine for 6 days in preparation for the craziness that will ensue with Month 2.

Over the next week I will reflect on the first month and post some more insights I have had and some tips. I will also post some pictures after 30 days to show you my progress :-)

Day 26 – Pure Cardio, Cardio Abs, and . . . Snow!
