Day 43 – Max Cardio Conditioning
Today is Monday, and Monday’s typically suck. This one was no different! It’s always hard to get motivated for anything on Monday. All sorts of things happened throughout the day from a website getting hacked to databases becoming corrupt. And this is all before I even got to Insanity!
Once I got home, I was somewhat relieved to get into the workout. Max Cardio Conditioning is my favorite workout this month. I think partly because it is the shortest at 47 minutes. No matter what happens during the day, if you do your Insanity workout, no one can take that away from you! It is your own accomplishment that can erase all the other bad stuff in a day.
Yesterday I mentioned my knees were tender. I am happy to say they are just fine. I think it was just a culmination of the pounding and the rest day came at just the right time. Throughout the workout I was bit more cautious about the knees and afterward there was no pain.
I powered through the exercises as best I could today. I felt pretty good once I got through the warmups. This routine is odd in the fact that I generally feel better with the exercies later in the routine than the beginning. I think they are just harder in the start. I am happy to get through day 1 of week SEVEN! It sure seems like time is flying by now . . .

Great job Sean powering through the workout after a stressful day at work. I would prefer to work out later in the day but historically I will make excuses not to. And a bad work day is one of my favorite excuses.
Thanks! Unfortunately, the only time I can workout out is when I get home. I leave the house about 6:30am and am home around 4:45. So I do the routines as soon as I get home so I can still spend some time with the family and sit down to dinner together.
I love your attitude!
I can’t believe you are almost done…that did fly by! I can’t believe I’m almost ready to take the second fit test. Maybe the program is set up with mile-stones to keep you motivated? It’s working for me, if that’s what they intended to do
Glad your knee is feeling better. Those rest days sure do wonders!
