10 Things I Learned From Cardio Recovery Week
I did it! I finished my cardio recovery week. It was a good week, tough at some times, but well worth it. Figure I would put a 10 things I learned list. 
1. Doing the same workout 6 days a week can be a pain in the a$$
2. At the end of the workout during the stretch, Shaun T says don’t put your head back like me. hehe only took me till day five to here him say DONT!
3. If you keep your arms and elbows up when you are supposed too your abs get a killer workout. No cheating!
4. Ariel is super human! How can anyone bust out those hip flexor moves!
5. I actually missed the normal warm ups!
6. I’m in better shape then the dude with the dread locks with red shorts in front left lol. C’mon bro its recovery week!
7. I know to stop the dvd right after it’s over so I don’t have to hear about Chalean Extreme anymore.
8. Form is key and so is core strength. What a difference with a strong core!
9. Maybe I wish there was more recovery week after I took a peak at Mondays Max workout! Doh!
10. I have learned that if I have gotten this far then I can make it the rest of the way!! Dig Deep & Ssscccoooo!
In all seriousness the recovery week was worth it. There were days I said why not skip today, but I knew if I did then it would just be easier to miss another workout, then another! I am in great shape and I can really feel it. I did take a peak at the next workout. The Fit Test then into MAX interval circuit! Wow I am going to have to get up 5:30 AM tomorrow lol. I even saw some of the moves they are doing and I am nervous, but anxious to get moving on this! It has been a trip so far. Can’t wait to see the Fit test results for tomorrow and how bad Max Interval Circuit is gonna whoop me!
ok- my question……i’ve gone through the first 4 weeks of insanity – and should be starting recovery week tomorrow – is it important to do recovery week? i am leaving for vacation – and wondered what would happen if i started in on the second month – and use the recovery week while im on vaca – any thoughts?
laura congrats on getting through the first month! How do you feel?
Recovery week can get boring, but its def worth it if you can do it. If your on vacation maybe try to do a couple times. If not I think you will be fine, just dont want to lose that motivation!
