Insanity Max Recovery workout. This was a lot of breathing, stretching, core and push-ups. Also, squats and lunges to get the legs burning.

Run after work on a cool, overcast day. I kept better than an 8 minute/mile pace for the first 4 miles then as always on this course hit the wall in the last two miles as it turns up-hill. I felt this was a good run considering I have not been running for a few weeks. The Insanity workouts are really building up my cardio but I need to run more.

Insanity Max Cardio Conditioning workout. This was just 32 minutes straight of cardio, plyometrics and resistance training with warm-up and cool down. There were short breaks while Shaun T demonstrated the exercise. I had to pace myself and end a few exercises early. I did keep going most of the time.

Quick road ride after work to take advantage of great weather. I felt pretty good and I think my average MPH was a little better than usual.

Insanity Max Interval Plyo. I was taking plenty of breaks during this grueling workout. Lots of new moves.

Insanity Fitness Test. This is day fitness test 3 of 5 (day 36). My improvement in numbers was not much from the last. This is probably typical that you get the most gain during the first few weeks then start to level off. However, the next 4 weeks are more intense so I think I'll see some bigger jumps at the next test.

Insanity Max Cardio Circuit. This was very, very difficult. I did this about 10 minutes after finishing the fit test. I stopped the exercises a few seconds short several times and was also pacing myself. I did make it thru the entire workout. The next four weeks will be a challenge, which is the way it should be.
