yesterday was nice. i like me some rest days (as long as there aren’t too many), but this morning, the work started right back up. today was the video i wasn’t able to finish on day 3 due to the stupid DVD player – and boy did i miss a tough one.i’m not sure if my aerobic systems are getting better or what, but today the breathing wasn’t as heavy. maybe it was the fact that this video incorporated more anaerobic exercises, which wiped me out and i wasn’t able to move as fast to get the aerobic work in.
regardless, i am noticing that the triangle poses during the warmup stretching routines are getting easier (they call that progress in most countries). i refuse to step on the scale until, well, next week when we do another fit test. that will be the true test answering the question: ‘does insanity work?’ in other news, while i am constantly hungry during the day, i’ve been able to eat in moderation for the most part. i know that was always my biggest problem, i like to eat and when i has food in front of me that tastes good – i’ll eat a lot of it. moderation, hmmm, where have i heard that before

So it was quite difficult to get up this morning… the bed was so comfy and the legs were so sore. but i managed to get out of bed somehow and get over to the fitness center. popped in the Insanity disk for the day and started – a new warm up routine caught me off guard, but i quickly adjusted… then about halfway through the first round of the actual workout, the video started skipping. i stopped it and checked the disk – looked fine. so i put it back in and it would not load, WTH! tried some other DVDs, same thing. turns out this is a common problem with the GPX DVD Player (it was a cheap $20-$25 player the rents picked up for the fitness center). i might have to stop somewheres to get a different cheap-o DVD player, cuz this has happened before. i guess we got the wrong cheap DVD player.
well, by the time i finally gave up on getting the DVD player to work (now), it’s too late for me to get the workout in today, as i gotta get to work. maybe this is God’s way of saying “dude, you’re sore, relax a bit today” – at least, that’s how i’m going to take this.
i’ll get this workout in down the road a couple times, but man, i’m irked that i’m missing a workout.
