Day 57 – Max Interval Plyometrics
Some days are harder than other for sure. This was one of those days. Monday’s in general suck for me, but this one was even worse. I felt tired all day and came into the workout with a headache which is never a good thing. Then top it off with the time change and I was pretty grumpy about getting started. But I did.
The warm up felt harder than normal and I had to stop a couple of times. It just took a little longer to get the blood flowing. When you start with a headache, each jump throbs the head. The good news though is that (at least for me) it seems to pass. I think Shaun T just scares it away!
That first circuit is a killer for me with all of those squats. I am slowing down the squats to make sure I stay in form and not hurt the knees. And how many power jumps can a human do? I even saw Lloyd stopping during this circuit (he is the army vet that seems unstoppable on the video).
Then we go onto the push up drills. I think I did 8,457 push ups in 10 minutes, or something like that. He likes to disguise these in different ways, but they are all still push ups! Seriously though, I did do pretty well with those. On the Level 3 drills I am making a ton of progress which is cool.
By this point, all of the grumpiness and headaches and any other thoughts other than exercising disappear. I know this happens that I why you just have to “push play” and go for it. As always, I felt better when it was done and am one step closer to completion!

What are you going to do when you are done? Will you start another workout?
As of right now, I haven’t made up my mind. I will most likely develop my own routine that involves running, yoga, Insanity, and weight training. I’ll let you know after I take a week off and let my body rest
I just ordered the other day and it’s suppose to arrive tomorrow hopefully. I read your blog before making the plunge and it’s given me a sense of relief that you have experienced this beforehand. But as soon as I saw what it was all about, my instinct said to do it!
So excited for you!
The main thing is, no matter how grumpy you were, you STILL put that DVD on and completed your workout! I think it’s wise to slow down on the squats for good form…very important, plus you still get a huge burn from them, which you know is working.
Great job!
I am starting my final week of Insanity today and must say that I feel pretty good. My knees are definitely tender, but the best advice is to just push play. I do what I can in each workout and have seen great improvements in my body and endurance.
