Day 2: Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Day 2, worse. I might puke. I can't tell you how many times my legs gave out.

The warm up...? No no no, the WARM UP is actually part of the cardio circuit. He actually makes you do it 3 times, faster and harder each time. Are you kidding me? There is a reason this is called "Insanity" ... because this shit is bananas!

The sweating on day 2 is much greater than day 1. From my point of view, it looked like someone was pouring water on top of my head and it was streaming off my chin (gross).



The entire workout from warm up to cool down is 31 minutes, and I could only do it about half of the time. I had to keep resting to bring my heart rate back down... he told me I could. There was just no way I could keep up that pace. The people on the video even gave out a few times and couldn't make the full circuit...

that you have to do as hard as you can, 3 times in a row, 3 minutes each. FML. And if he makes me squat one more time, i'm going to punch him in the face!

Can we talk about the people they select to be on these videos? They have the body of a greek god. I hate them. I hate them all. I mean, I get that it's great motivation for you to push harder and to want to look like that... but I hate them.

I can't feel my legs, maybe I should eat them

Stairs are the devil and sitting is no longer fun. My legs are killing me... mostly in the quad and gluteus area. "No pain no gain." I mean I get that, but DAMN GINA this is killing me.

I've also been following the nutrition guide as best as I can; it's actually pretty good. It requires you to eat 5 balanced meals a day to keep your energy levels and recovery going, and gives you many options for each meal and ways to mix it up. They pretty much want you to find good ways to consume a balanced mixture of carbs and protein. The good thing is that I already eat most of the things they tell you to eat, they just want me to eat more to keep up the calorie consumption, the bad news... I AM HUNGRY ALL THE EFFING TIME!! I'm ok with eating 5 meals a day, because 2 hours after eating a huge bowl of fruit, oats, and 3 hard boiled eggs, all I want to do is EAT.

Don't even get me started on the water consumption. They want you to drink at least 70oz of water a day. Do you know how much water that is? a lot. And it makes me pee all damn day!
