Insanity Workout Day 40: Today Was a Good Day to Die, the Magic of Power and Resistance

2-13-10: My brother was in town, but thankfully he was exhausted on Friday, so we went to bed reasonably early, which meant I could get up in time to do the Power and Resistance workout in the morning before doing family things.

I had my favorite shake breakfast before the workout. This is the third workout in a row that I've eaten something small right before. It is hard to say how it is affecting the workout, but I can say with some certainty that it is not hurting me, so I think I will continue.

I also had a special recovery formula that Vince gave me a sample of, provided by the same website (beachbody.com) that I purchased the Insanity DVDs from. Knowing Shaun T, I assume this formula to be pure concentrated evil and will slightly refresh my body at the cost of my soul. I tried it yesterday after the workout and today after the workout. I did not really notice any difference, but then, it is sometimes difficult to gauge my feelings when switching between one of the other workouts and power and resistance because of their little differences.

The warm-up was better. I made it to the third iteration, but, of course, the speed power jacks got me. And those cursed vertical jumps. The workout itself made me hurt. I don't want to do jumping squats anymore. Lots of crazy push-up things in the power and resistance workout. This is good. The pain in the arms makes me notice the pain in the legs less. There's only so much pain the receptors in my brain can handle at one time. Ha! Take that Shaun T! Though...I'm sure I will now feel this the rest of the day with anything I do. Whereas usually it is walking that is painful, now writing (typing), and swinging the arms, and shooting Imperial Troopers will hurt as well.

Still, yeeha! I'm DOING it!
