Day 14 Pure Cardio
WAHOOOOOOO I went a workout without calling on the relief bucket.....RESULT.
Nicely rested after yesterday, so I was looking forward with a little hesitation for Pure Cardio today. I upped the intensity in the warm up and made it without a stop.....well pleased. The main workout went well, I was doing longer periods before rest was required and the rest stops are become shorter and shorter, on some occasions just stopping to take 4 or 5 rescue breaths. I did collapse on the floor in a heap at the end but quickly got up for the cool down stretch. I am really pleased with my progress so far and I am almost starting to enjoy it.
After Insanity I had a quick recovery drink and then off to karate. Some good basic moves done in stance, high reps as well so a good workout on the legs, speed and power so quite a bit of energy expended, then Matt Sensei took us through some conditioning drills that they had done at the Brown and Black belt training earlier that day. These consited of sprints up the dojo with someone holding you back, quads and lungs burning. Then on to more quad work utilising side stepping and dropping in to side stance to touch your partners knees, then some reverse punch work, all good for heart and lungs and quads.
All this follwed by a healthy meal and plenty of water
