Day 39, Max Cardio Recovery

                I have a new favorite video for my Month 2 Insanity workouts. Not that big of a surprise really, anything that gives me a break from the Insane cardio is a godsend in my book. This Max Recovery is pretty intense considering it is a recovery. No jumping or quick moving so I can keep up with the people on the TV (Finally!) and get the most out of this particular DVD. I am definitely feeling the soreness in my abs today, my shoulders, and the muscles just above my knees. Pure willpower is what has to power these workouts.

                According to my HRM I burned less than 300 calories doing this workout but I know that is not accurate. The heart rate monitor goes off of what else, my heart rate. Since this was a cardio recovery, my heart rate did not shoot up like it does in other Insanity workouts. Yet there are still plenty of calories being burnt by the holding of the poses and slow but controlled exercises.
