Insanity, Day 52
As I approach the home stretch of Insanity, I find that there is less to talk about that I haven't already mentioned. I would have figured that by the third week of month two that I would be in better shape, but part of me feels like I'm still dragging myself through the workouts.
Today was Max Interval Plyo. As tough as today's workout was and as much as I felt like I was still dragging through the workout, I actually felt better than I did yesterday. Yesterday's workouts left me very weak and breathless. In fact, I was getting worried the closer I got to today's workout because yesterday's failure as well as today's sore legs weighed on my consciousness. I was getting intimidated just waiting for today's workout to begin and finish. That's not the best mindset to enter a tough workout.
Upon further reflection, my feeling of exhaustion could actually be because I was working harder during the individual workouts than I was earlier in the month. So, while part of me feels like I'm dogging it, I could just be legitimately tired from working harder rather than being out of shape. The second month workouts are very intense, and I still haven't really found my rhythm. My Fit Test results yesterday show that I am in better shape, so I think I'm going to go with this theory of early burnout.
The next four workout days will be different for me because I'll actually have an audience in the form of my girlfriend, Nicole. The last time she watched my workout, I felt that I pushed myself harder than normal. So, her visit might be a good thing for me. I mean, I gotta try to look good in front of my girl, right?
