    Just finished day 3, Cardio Power and Resistance. My upper body is sooooo weak. My calves are feeling a little tight today. Does anyone know if the cardio rest day has a lot of jumping in it?

    Even though I just did it my memory sucks so I can't be 100% certain but if I'm recalling correctly..it's more of stretching and using your body weight to work your muscles. There's definitely a lot of moving still but not as much.

    Isn't this the one that makes you squat forever and sets your thighs on fire?

    Yep cardio rest can be downright painful, but no jumping. Breath!!! Breath lots.

    Today was Day 19. I believe yesterday I mentioned that Pure Cardio was my favorite. That was on the schedule for today. Sometime during the workout I thought to myself "THIS is my favorite? I must be goofy!" I got to follow that up with Cardio Abs so I could listen to my hips pop some more. It was awesome. :laugh:

    Cee-I thought of you during the switch kick part. I'm definitely better when it's the first thing I have to do and not mixed in the middle!

    I can imagine it being easier at the beginning. That exercise sure does expel a ton of energy, doesn't it??

    Did Insanity day one Plyometric Cardio Circuit today-Holy smokes! GREAT workout! My hrm says I burned 461 cals. I was horrible at the push-up intervals but hope to get lots better. Most definitely had my heart rate up. This program lives up to its name! Insanely looking forward to tomorrow. It is very motivating to read all of your success stories on this thread. Good luck!

    Great job Idon37. I'm hoping to have a nice little success story in 53 days! :wink: For now I'm just pushing play and sweating my booty off (hopefully literally) I am soo thankful I got my HRM before I started this. I would have no idea were to guess my burn was at without it. Love that little purchase for sure!
