Day 23- Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Day 23- Insanity Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Insanity.  This is so hard (said in a whiny voice).

What you should know-
1. The warm up is not a warm up.  It's a mini workout testing you to see if you have what it takes to do the rest of the workout.  You do, don't worry.  5 moves, 30 seconds each, repeated 3 times.  There's a 3 minute cool down.
2. After the "warm up" is a six minute stretch.  That's right, a six minute stretch after you think you're going to die after a warm up.  Usually I'd skip this because I don't like a six minute stretch after I'm already into the workout, but I'm so glad to get my heart rate down that I don't mind so much. 
3.  This is interval training.  It's 30-45 seconds of jumping jacks, then high knees, then jumping squats, then ski jumps, then a 30 second break.  Repeat and increase the intensity. Break.  Repeat and increase the intensity plus two bonus moves at the end.  There are other moves, this is just an example.
4. You can keep going.  If you don't push yourself, your body won't change.  Remember this when you think you can't do it.  You can.  You might need to go a little slower, or take a 5 second break, but you can do this. 
5.  Pay attention to the people in the video.  They look like you do.  The person the camera is focused on is going all out, but the rest of them look like they want to die.  It's all about perspective.
6. There's a timer so you know how long you have left.
7. Pace yourself.  If you don't, you'll have nothing left to give, which happens anyway. So pace yourself.
