Insanity Day 5 Pure Cardio

Day 5 of Insanity was pure cardio. I burned 543 calories. I noticed that this video seemed to be shorter. Shorter doesn’t necessarily mean easier. This has got to be the toughest workout yet. I don’t think that there were that many mandatory breaks in this one.

The video started off exactly like the Plyometric Cardio Circuit workout with the jog, jumping jacks, heisman, 123, heel kicks and mummy moves and the repeat 3x. Then to stretching then to the 14 minute blasting cardio.

It started off ok and it didnt seem so bad. I didn’t think to myself that the cardio portion of this workout was going to include or NOT include a mandatory break. It was a straight 14 minute workout after the stretch. I couldn’t keep up for some of the parts. I think I could have pushed it more and I did. I dig deeper for the last parts. Sometimes I wish workout videos shouldn’t have the time displayed. It makes people quit earlier because they know how much time is left to stop that move and move on the the next or even just stop all together and wait for the next move.

Based on my Garmin 310xt I burned 465 calories. I averaged about a 152 bpm and maxed at 177. I think I should have pushed it more. I was breathing hard throughout the workout. I deserve a pat on the back. I am eating well. I’m not sure if I should cut or add calories though. I am feeling good though. I need to get to sleep!! Good night everyone.
