I woke up a little less sore in my quads, although my knees still
have some pain. But at least I could walk a little bit better and stairs weren’t
nearly as bad. I felt a tiny feeling of working out in my glutes but other than
that, not really any other soreness. I thought I would be hurting some in my
shoulders from the Day 3 workout, but either it wasn’t as tough as I thought or
I actually work those muscles every once in awhile.
Day 4 was an easy day. It was basically just a lot of
stretching and squats. I guess we are supposed to let our body recover. I felt
fairly flexible in most of the positions, although I cannot hold the poses
through the burning. That is definitely
something I need to work on. This was not an all out heart racing, sweat kind
of day, although I could feel some cardio vascular moments.
I also tried today without knee braces. I have floating
kneecaps which causes inflammation and pain between my femur and patella. I am
hoping that working through these squats and such will improve the muscles in
this area to increase stability. Only time will tell.
But of course, I can’t have a day with zero cardio, so I hit
the gym for a quick 30 minute session on the elliptical. Since the Insanity
workout didn’t leave me weak as usual, it felt pretty good to back in the gym. I
need to try to do this more often I think.
I am writing this as I sit on my couch on a lazy Sunday,
looking for the motivation to get up for Day 5…
Still sore in my knees and a little in my upper back, I guess from all
the stretching yesterday. Wish me luck….
