Today’s workout was Insanity’s core cardio and balance workout. Overall the workout is one of the easier ones. It begins with the cardio portion which isn’t too difficult compared to the other Insanity workouts. The balance portion is the last part of the workout. I have to say that this is more challenging than the cardio portion.

Today’s workout was Insanity’s cardio abs. I have to say that I am not a big fan of this workout. The first reason is that it isn’t too long (16 minutes) and the second is that I didn’t really feel like a got a great ab workout. Don’t get me wrong, my abs were challenged but I get a much better workout from the P90X’s Ab Ripper. You want to talk about an ab workout, check out the Ab Ripper. It too is only 15 min. long but the exercises are well organized.  There is never a morning after the Ab Ripper that I don’t feel a bit sore.

To make up for the short workout I ran on my treadmill for 30 minutes. I almost got to 4 miles.

Today I began the rest portion of the P90X and I have to say that it was a well deserved low-impact workout. Today’s workout was yoga. I have learned to enjoy the calmness that yoga teaches/forces one to develop.  I find that through concentration I can complete the workout with no problem. I usually end up losing 2-3 pounds of water during the workout but I feel great afterwards.
