Insanity, Days 28, 29, 30, 31: Recovery Week, Core Cardio & Balance and Snowboarding

Woo! Hit the halfway point in Insanity! That feels good. I haven't been updating much, been busy... but the Core Cardio & Balance portions are still quite a work out! I thought it would be free flyin' for the next 6 days, but no. It certainly is not as much work, but it's still a ton of work and I do sweat lots (not as much as the regular stuff though). Recovery Week is doing one exercise after the other, with some breaks; some are familiar, like heismans, and others are new, like the high jump and walking planks. Surprisingly, I last through the Level 1 drills (with the push ups) fine; I don't go all the way down, but we go at a much slower pace than in the regular days which allows me to catch my breath. That portion in the end though KILLS me -- squat in second position and flap your arms out like you're going to take off and do other various things with the arms for 3+ minutes straight in that squat. For the first couple of days my shoulders, upper back muscles and abs were a little sore. I like how the exercises here build up so you're sweating and it's over before you know it. The other days have you go into it more so it feels a bit awkward in doing some of the exercises with cold muscles, but the Core Cardio & Balance has you easing into the exercises more. I did this on Thurs, Fri and Sat; yesterday I went snowboarding.

Food: Good, I guess; can be better. I carbed it up this weekend.. again. bleh, carbs are just way too easy and accessible...
