This morning was a little different than most of my mornings. I had to work the Audit Shift at my place of employment last night and therefore didn’t get home till about 7:15am this morning. Lacking sleep and the desire to make myself work out as soon as I got home, I ate a bowl of cereal and then had a nap. My plans of getting only a three hour nap failed because I apparently shut my alarm clock off and didn’t wake up until two hours later. It wasn’t too much of a big deal considering that I didn’t have much to do. But, I would have liked to get more things done during the day than I was able to. I did, however, complete Day 2 of Insanity.
So, Day 2 of Insanity. The title of today’s DVD was Plymoteric Cardio Circuit. (In P90X, I learned that Plyomentrics means jump training.) When I did eventually wake up, the only soreness I felt from yesterday was in my shoulders. It wasn’t excruciating pain, but it was the kind that can be felt with every move. Still, I’ve made myself push through the pain and just suck it up.
We started out with about a seven minute warm-up. It was fast paced and only got faster. No problem. I astounded myself though because I was able to make it through the whole thing, only stopping to control my braid that had kept hitting me in the face and to check my sports bra during the jumping jack session because I felt a cool breeze that wasn’t supposed to be there. Lol. Then, we moved into the actual “work out” part of the session. Doing things like Squat Jacks (regular jumping jacks but squatting when your arms go down), In and Outs (push up position while jumping both feet in between your arms and then back out), and Basketball Jumping (squatting pretending like you are picking up a basketball on the ground then jumping from that position with your hands up like you are shooting it), among other moves. My least favorite are the Squat Jacks only because it makes your calves feel like FIRE! I wasn’t too fond of the In and Outs either just because I didn’t have any shoes or socks on and I couldn’t get very good traction on the carpet. I’m thinking about lacing up my tennies starting tomorrow so that I can be more accurate with the form.
The entire session was forty-one minutes. Seven being the warm up, as stated above, and the cool down was about three or four. A lot shorter than P90X, but more intense and there’s a heck of a lot more sweat involved. I’m excited for tomorrow!

Signing Out,
It’s Possible
P.S
I checked the scale this morning and it said 178.8. So, my official starting weight for Insanity is 178.8. Down, down, down I go!!
