I worked out at a health club for a few years and there was a special spot where all the muscle men worked out. It was a serious area with serious equipment and I never ventured there. Every time I headed to the locker room, you would have to pass by and all you would hear is grunting and yelling. I thought they were so over the top, because I never found the need to grunt and or yell during my workout. Drama Queens! Well, I just realized in the confines of my workout area that I am a grunter and a yeller...Drama Queen! I didn't even realize I was doing it until today and I think I have been doing it the whole time. Whenever I have to hold a position longer than my muslces want...I yell as I lose it. Whenever I have to push the last few reps out in an exercise...I grunt. It is not an attractive quality and I am going to make an effort to rid myself of it.
I have decided today that Cardio Recovery is no longer my favorite. I really enjoyed it my first week because I thought I was going to die from all the hardcore cardio and it was nice to take things slow. I realized today, that I have really adjusted to the crazy cardio. I also realized that I really need focus up on this video because it is all about holding positions and breathing through it. Which I have not been able to do the last two times.
Today was a hot mess to begin with. I need to do laundry and today I only had loose fitting pants and the Velcro on my knee brace decided to keep popping apart. So I had to pause and or rewind the video once I put it back on, only to have to do it again. And my pants kept falling down and not because I lost so much weight, but because the last time I washed them I lost the string to tie them tighter around the waist. But I managed to get into the swing of things and push it out. I am officially on the countdown to my rest day.
Another fantastic realization is that this is not 60 days, I was looking at the calendar and Insanity lasts for nine weeks. If you include the recovery week, where you are still working out, that puts me at 63 days. Tricky, Sean T., very tricky. Now I have to adjust my countdown. Sigh.
