Despite being Friday, the most joyous of all the days of the week, the CROTUSman didn’t get off to a great start this morning. When the alarm rang and I got out of bed, I immediately felt the remnants of yesterday’s L & B as I was pretty sore in the legs. Unfortunately, not ten steps later, thing got worse as I stepped out of my bedroom, into a puddle of piss that my beloved Mookie Wilson (my dog) had deposited for me. I pretty much lost it after that.
Anyway, after cleaning up the mess, I popped in Cardio Power & Resistance. It’s been a while since I did this workout, so I wasn’t exactly sure what I was getting into, but I was happy to see the relatively short run time of 40 minutes. But, then the warm-up began. I don’t really care for any of the Insanity warm-ups because, quite frankly, after the first round, it’s not really a warm-up anymore, but I particularly don’t care for this one what with the jumping and stuff.
The good news is that by the time I got to the stretching, I was drenched and looking forward to the stretch. As far as the workout itself, it was so-so. Other than the “Power Jumps”, I can’t think of anything that gave me much trouble from a physical standpoint, though I did take some breaks towards the end.
All in all, as I said, it was a so-so calorie burn, but considering the way the day started, I was happy that I had worked through it. Now I just have to deal with the soreness in my legs. The good news is that the first week is now in the books, and by Sunday, I can hopefully start to kick it up a notch with a little more intensity.
Speaking of kicking it up a notch, I’ve been going through a book I purchased a while back for some new recipes for lunch and dinner (http://www.amazon.com/Mens-Health-Muscle-Chow-Workouts/dp/1594865485). Earlier in the week, I tried to go back to the same menu that I had used for round one, but I just couldn’t do it. It’s time to switch things up a bit, as I’ve been basically eating the same foods with slight variations for about a year now.
Well, that’s it for the CROTUSman. I’ll pop in tomorrow on the off day. Until then, TCB.
