Day 22: PURE CARDIO and CARDIO ABS

I was so happy to cross this one off the list. I really don't like Pure Cardio in so many ways, but grudgingly acknowledge it's vital to performing better on the next fit test, because some of the fit test exercises only appear in this routine. I do enjoy Cardio Abs and went right into it with no break, but those tuck jumps and wide tuck jumps are so hard after Pure Cardio. Cardio Abs is definitely getting easier, too, and the only exercise I still crap out on is the double leg lifts. Yoga gave me a huge head start on all the core exercises and everything that starts in plank, though. I'm actually much stronger in my upper body than my lower body because I'm used to arm balances and inversions, so Insanity has produced the biggest change in the strength of my legs and in my cardio endurance. The latter has always been my biggest hurdle. So to speak.

I'm starting to really look forward to my recovery drink, like a sugary reward. I put a skull and crossbones on the bottle so the kids won't drink it! A couple of recipes are coming later today.
