Rest Day

November 21, 2010 By Michael Mahony, ISSA CPT Leave a Comment

Today is a rest day from the grimed of 5-3-1 Insanity. I am thankful for the chance to rest. After yesterday's quad-focused workout my legs are toast.

After waking up early this morning for a hockey game in Oxnard, California, I immediately felt the DOMS in my quads. The soreness is both a blessing and a curse. I can tell that my legs got a great workout, but I am completely drained. This is because I am leaving it all on the gym floor. At the same time, my cardio is at an all-time high because of Insanity.

At times I wonder if my body will be able to recover. I am watching recovery very carefully. I have a Plan B if I am not recovering and I'm reasonably certain it will work.

This time through Insanity I am very focused on keeping my core tight at all times. Insaw a big increase in core strength the first cycle of Insanity, so further focus on this area should just bring better results.

Remember to follow my 5-3-1 Insanity progress on a regular basis. Use #531insanity on Twitter to see my Tweets about it. Follow me on Twitter: @mikemahony
