Whew... today was a tough one. Starting today, the 6th workout of the 2nd week, Pure Cardio is paired with Cardio Abs (CA). Now, not only are you exhausted from the constant moving, the jumping, and the push-ups, you also have to deal with the extra 20 or so minutes of ab workout. It's great.
Honestly, until now I was a bit put off about not having any ab workouts. It has just been about keeping the core tight. With the CA, you now have a good total body workout. Cardio Abs is interesting in that it does not involve any crunches or sit ups. Instead, a large portion of the workout can be summarized into two positions. The first involves leaning the body back while in a sitting position on the ground and the second the plank position.
The workouts do seem to work quite well, but I feel that after doing Insanity for a couple more weeks, it might not be enough of a challenge. The Deluxe version comes with Insane Abs workout and the schedule states that it is okay to interchange the two. Hopefully with the two, ab workouts remain a challenge.
NOTE: For those doing P90X and wants to know a comparison between the two, I found Cardio X to be quite a bit harder than Cardio Abs.
