Day 42 – Max Rest Day!
I think the rest days during this second month should be called Max Rest Days, you should be allowed to sleep in, do nothing and order out
In all seriousness, it is greatly satisfying that I got through this week. It was definitely as tough (although seems tougher at the moment) as the first week of Insanity. It’s kind of hard to compare because the memory is so short term these days when working out so often.
The week started off painful, with muscles soreness all around, but subsided as the week went on. I don’t have any muscle soreness at all right now. However, I am experiencing some knee pain. It started yesterday after the last workout. It isn’t serious, but it is definitely there. I am not sure if it was from the one workout, or a culmination of the week, but I am very glad today is the rest day. Hopefully by tomorrow they will feel better and I will be ready for the next week.
I also realized today that I only have 3 more weeks to go! It seems like such a short period of time, but I know better.
Nothing breezes by with Shaun T yelling in your ear!
If the pattern continues, this next week will also be difficult (like week 2 of Insanity), but it will be much more familiar and I will see progress as to how many of the moves I can do. That is what I anticipate anyways. I feel like month 2 is a mirror of month 1 as far as pushing the limits of your body and conditioning if that makes any sense.
Ok, off to watch the closing ceremonies of the Olympics and to rest up the body for week SEVEN!

Only three more weeks left!! That is great! Sounds like this week was rough, but good for you being able to dig deep and keep going. I think that as long as we do our best, even if we are not doing the same number as the pro’s, we are getting an awesome workout and we will still see results. I’m not looking forward to the hour long workouts, even though that’s how P90X is, this demands much more out of you.
Enjoy your rest!
Ugh, keep us posted on your knees. So it’s not so much an injury twinge as it is just overuse? I wonder if the lack of rest day had anything to do with it. I notice that my knees are tender today, too. I hope it’s just week-end, month-end fatigue and nothing else.
I hope you warmed up properly for Max Rest Day.
