Day 53 of 63: Max Recovery

I skipped the Max Recovery and instead took 2 days off Insanity :D. I just felt like i had enough and was exhausted.:(

Day 46 of 63: Max Recovery

Workout Time: 47 minutes
Calories Burned: 340

This is my second time doing this recovery workout and I still think it is not as cardio intensive as the previous Cardio Recovery. I definitely do not sweat as much and I don't burn as many calories.

Today, however, I got a really good workout. I payed attention to what Shaun T was saying about squeezing the core muscles when doing your moves. I LOVE these balance moves such as the one where you go from low plank to high plank and etc. It works your core and your shoulders like crazy.

A lot of core exercises for sure but how else can you get a 6 pack?

Day 39 of 63: Max Recovery

Workout Time: 48 minutes
Calories Burned: 405

This recovery workout is much longer than the one in Phase 2 as you can see. It was 48 minutes long, that is about 20 minutes more than the previous one. However, I think this workout was a lot more of a recovery workout than the old one.

It did weird exercises as usual and it focused more on the arms and shoulders than the thighs like the old recovery did (in my opinion). Regardless, it was still very tough on the legs - I had to take a few breaks. LOL.

My favorite exercise was the 2nd to last one. It was going making you move from low plank to high plank and back and it worked your triceps and chest for the most part. For all exercises you have to do 3 sets each of 16/8/4 reps which made it really tough.
