Recovery Week.

Options
I don't know if this is crazy... but the first month was tough. I didn't get that sore though. I busted my butt and sweat more than I ever had... maybe even more than my HS wrestling days. Now I am halfway through with recovery week and I am sore. Kinda odd, I thought. :D

    Agreed... I'm on day 4 of the recovery week and I'm sore in my shoulders and bum. I think it's because we are doing the same workout every day and it's more of a strength training rather than cardio. But hopefully by Monday once we start month 2 we will be fine :)

    Hey! To be honest, I did the first 2 days then I alternated elliptical and core cardio :)

    Im on Insanity day #4 today and nope im not that sore either.. but thats prob, becuz I started working out in general 3months ago...So, my body is already use to being challenged from different workouts. I cant wait for my body to finally change tho, so far im only 3 pounds down. cuz I had messed up alot on my diet part for 3 full months. but this time Im following Insanity's nutrition plan the best I can... :)

    the cardio recovery week surprisingly works your shoulders and hip flexors quite a bit... prepping you for month 2. I think the last 8 minutes are the toughest.

    so a lot of planks and lunges it sounds like... that's ok though... i am welcoming that change.
