Day 3: Insanity Max30

 

Today was Sweat Intervals.  What can I say about sweat intervals....it's sweaty and it's sweaty.  Have you ever done Insanity?  Well sweat Intervals is like that without as many breaks and in only 30 minutes which is why there are less breaks!  I maxed out at 7:45 and I wanted to max out a lot sooner (actually during the "warm up" but kept pushing myself).  And I am certain that sweat intervals is going to make my abs stronger without ever doing a single crunch.

There were two quotes from this workout that stuck with me.

At one point one of the girls is panting and trying to drink water and Shaun T comes up to her and asks how she is doing.  Her response "When I think I can't do one more, I do three."  That right there is the attitude you HAVE to have to be successful at this program. You have to challenge yourself to KEEP GOING.  You're at home by yourself so it would be very easy to stop and just turn off the TV and just say I'm done.  But you can't do that if you want results.  And seriously the feeling I have when that timer beeps and the 30 minutes are done...pure bliss, joy, accomplishment and relief.  I love that feeling!  You know the runner's high, well there is an Insanity Max30 high and I am definitely on it!

The other quote was directly from the man himself "I know it's crazy, that's why it's Insanity Max 30!" There is nothing else to add to that.....  

I also did the 10 minute Ab Attack today.  I didn't even make it a minute!  I am sure part of the reason is because my abs and the rest of my body were already dying from sweat intervals.  But my abs are always a weak point for me so I am sure I would not have made it the full 10 minutes even if that is all I had done.  I liked ab attack. It wasn't  just a bunch of crunches,  I never have good form with crunches and my neck always hurts if I do too many (because my form is bad.) The moves were all in a plank or c sit position for the most part.  I took many breaks and am sure my abs will be sore tomorrow!
