Day Two of Insanity: Cardio Power and Resistance

Today’s workout was a bit different from yesterday’s. There were about twice as many water breaks however, it seemed almost twice as hard.

It started out like yesterday’s workout did. There were 3 sets of exercises. Each set was 3.5 minutes long.

Here is a list of the exercises in each of the sets. Each exercise was 30 seconds long.

1. Jogging in place
2. Power Jacks
3. Log Jumps
4. 1,2,3 Hiesman
5. Butt Kicks
6. High Knees
7. Vertical Jumps

As stated above, we did this set 3 times with a 30 second water break in between. Needless to say I was breathing pretty hard after the first 12 minutes.

After the water break was a very welcomed 6.5 minute stretching session.

There was a 30 second water break before the insanity began. Literally.

The next section was around 8 minutes long. There were 3 sets that were each around 2 minutes long with a 30 second water break in between each one. However shorter, the exercises were a bit more intense.  At the end of the last set Shaun-T has a surprise for everyone, 1 minute of tricep dips. These were really tough! The exercises for the 3 sets were as follows:

1. Power Jumps
2. Belt Kicks
3. Hit the Floors
4. V Push-ups
5. Tricep Dips

30 Second Water break

The next section is much shorter, only 30 seconds,  but tough! He had me doing “ball push-ups”. Basically you bring your knees up to where your arms are at and do push-ups.You may think its  easy until you do about 5 of them.

30 Second Water Break

2 minute long sets.  3 times through. 30 second water break in between each set.

1. Hurdle Jumps
2. Globe Jumps
3. Moving Push-Ups
4. Floor Sprints

Just when you think you cannot do anymore, there is the final 1 minute set. This set really challenges you and makes you work for it.  The set is 8 hop jumps and 8 push-ups. From what I can remember I went through these 4 times.

I was really tired and sweaty at the end of this workouts. The final 3 minutes was a stretching session where I basically just stood there again and let my arms hang. Check back tomorrow for what sounds like an easier workout, Cardio Recovery!
