    Heather,
    My rest days are also scheduled for Wednesdays... Although I find I need to take more than one a week sometimes so I'm a few workouts behind schedule. But I need to be able to move as well - and sometimes mental health rest days are necessary - I work nights in a hospital lab and some mornings I'm just too plain exhausted to do insanity. I can usually nap and the. Make myself get up to workout but some days - not so much.

    Your arms will definitely get a workout! At least I think mine do! Any way, welcome and have fun!

    Day 5 done, feeling great! Looooooooved day 4, Cardio Recovery - it was just silly stretching so that was a nice break but thank goodness I walked at least 40 min that day, 30ish min of yoga only burns 100 cals, boo. Still under, all good!

    Thank you! Cardio Recovery was a great rest too but I completely understand on the timing issue. If you aren’t already wearing them at work, you've got to get some Skechers Shape-ups. I've barely taken mine off since Christmas! It's like walking on pillows, I can walk 4 km easy on my lunch and you really do feel it in your calves. I have the black mary-jane style for work.

    I was supposed to do Pure Cardio today, and I did about 15 min, I couldn't even finish the warm up. My body hurts so bad so I said F it and did some yoga and stretched myself back out. So tomorrow should I try again or should I just go to the Polymetric Cardio Circuit?

    Pure Cardo day is tough..believe me I know it was a struggle for me too. Don't get down on yourself and don't give up! I say stay motivated and adjust your calender and pick up where you left off!!! My calves will hardly let me walk, but i got up and tried again this morning i still hurt but its getting better and will only get better! STAY STRONG AND DIG DEEP!! :happy:
