Insanity Day 4: Cardio Recovery

Long time since an update - it's now Monday, May 3rd and I need to go back and do quick updates from Thursday, April 29th. I'll try to keep these quick and do it as best I remember.

Cardio Recovery - Thursday, April 29th

As usual - I didn't know what to expect from this DVD. I did think it odd that I was already supposed to have a "recovery" day after really just 2 days of working out (not counting the "Fit Test" on Day 1). I've been working out pretty consistently and I didn't really think that more than 1 day of "rest" per week was needed (P90X has 6 days on, 1 day off), but I would soon find out that this was not really a "rest" day.

The workout was a short 33 minutes, with mostly controlled moves, including some Yoga poses that I recognized from P90X. Lots of stretching, lots of squats to lunge to squat to lunge etc, lots of plank work and a good amount of the aforementioned Yoga. All-in-all a good mid-week workout. I got a good sweat but not like the rest of the workouts. I knew I was going to be playing soccer at lunch so wasn't too concerned about the cardio aspect.

Diet/Workout:
Morning Workout: Insanity Cardio Recovery - 30 min
Kashi GoLean with blueberries and skim milk
8 oz V8
Activia Lite Yogurt
Powerbar Harvest Energy
Lunch Workout: soccer - 1 hour
don't remember what I ate the rest of the day
