Insanity Brief Look: Cardio Recovery

Cardio Recovery (CR) is done every Thursday for the first month, and honestly, it couldn't be placed at a better time.  My physical condition really deteriorated with some negative side effects.  Most notably, I ended up sleeping in by about 2 hours (I never sleep in.  Not even after a night of heavy drinking.) and despite the extra sleep, my body still felt extremely tired.

CR, for those of you that have tried P90X, is like Yoga X (though not as intense).  You go through various posture and practice holding that posture for a length of time.  While it sounds easy, the postures burn.  You'll still work up a sweat if done properly, but despite the name Cardio, lacks any real aerobic exercises.  It is quite relaxing and gives you that break in the middle of the week to recover properly.
