Yup. Making sure that you start off the workout well hydrated makes a world of difference. Unlike yesterday, I got a great workout today. I'm really liking this workout. The first two weeks were a hassle. I really didn't want to do any workout, I didn't like the "pain" of physical exertion, I didn't like how I had to keep to a schedule. In short, it was like a chore. Now, I'm looking forward to the next exercise. I like to see the physical changes the workout brings and I feel that I have more energy now. Those endorphins must be getting to me.
I did the Cardio Power & Resistance today and really pushed myself. I know I added pull ups to the last CPR workout, but I may have to rethink that. Now that it takes a lot more to wear me out, by the time I get to the tricep workouts, I actually have the energy to really go all out. My triceps gets really worn out. I tried to do pull ups afterwards and all I could manage were reps of 1.
I would say, for those that wants to add pull ups to Insanity, look at the schedule and add the pull ups to a workout several days before or after CPR. In fact, I would go so far as to say, if you do 2 CPR workouts in a week, don't do any pull ups that week. You need to take the time to let your triceps heal.
Beachbody hit this workout off nicely. I recently found a good video from Beachbody that has Shaun T explaining Insanity and who it's designed for, how it's different, etc... I'm trying to get permission from Beachbody to put the video on this blog so that others can take a look at it and see if that's what they want.
