Today’s workout was Insanity’s plyometric workout. Again, this workout is extremely tough. It usually gets my heart rate up to around 170 for the duration of the workout.  When I was done I was soaked in sweat and felt like I just ran a mini-marathon.

Today’s workout was the P90X Chest/Back workout. Two new developments today: The first is that I did today’s workout without the video and it took me half the time. I went ahead and followed the workout sheets and it helped the workout go much quicker. I saved a lot of time between reps when Tony is usually showing us how strong he his or talking his face off. Unfortunately chest/back is one of the few workouts that has all of the exercises on the workout sheets.

The second development is that my push-up reps are increasing dramatically. Today’s workout has me doing normal, military, wide, diamond, decline, and dive-bomber push-ups 2x each. I ended up doing 175 push-ups in the 12 sets. Not too bad. The easiest push-ups are the normal ones of course and the toughest ones have got to be the dive-bomber push-ups. Whenever I do dive-bombers I think of Catherina Zeta Jones in this movie in which she played a burglar, opposite of Sean Connery, in which she is forced to contort herself through these lasers. I just can’t shake it. Oh well. To top off my workout I also did 20 minutes of an Insanity workout today. My wrestlers did it for 20 minutes so I decided to show them that a 33 year-old man can do it too.

Today’s workout was the Insanity Max Cardio workout! This has go to be one of the toughest Insanity workouts yet! This one is about 10 minutes longer than the rest of the Insanity workouts and is much more intense. There are only two water breaks and one of them is after the stretching piece.  This workout also had many new kinds of movements. The one that really made both my abs and chest burn was towards the end. I have no idea what Shawn T calls them put you get in a plank push-up position and hold it. Meanwhile you bring your right leg up to the side and touch your right elbow. Return your leg to the floor and then do the same with the other side. I think I did about 23 of these before my arms gave out. It hurt a ton but it was a good feeling to be challenged.  Tomorrow I am back to the P90X and I believe it is the Chest and Back workout. See you tomorrow!
