Wed: P90 Cardio 1-2

[Guest guest]

Today is my squashed time day but I managed to get in my cardio. Last night I figured out what I could do today so that I would have it ready to go when I was ready to get at it. I realized that Cardio 1-2, though lower in intensity than 3-4, could work if I lopped off Tony's stretch at the beginning (don't like doing it anyway, warmed up on my own by running around the house making sure the kids were ready for the bus!) and didn't do Ab Ripper 100. I also used only about 30 seconds of the cool down before the stretch at the end, mostly just in fast forwarding through it (the kickboxing on this one doesn't do much for me heart rate wise, I'm pretty cooled down by the time it ends even though I'm putting my whole body into it). So, I managed to make it a 28 minute workout and that was pretty good. I think I have to stick with two 10 minute solution workouts instead next time though because I was rushing to shower, dress, have a good hearty snack (long time before lunch ahead of me) and then drive 35 minutes to work. I missed the abs work and will try to fit some in tomorrow if I can (wanted to today but just couldn't). Anyway, it was fun but I've definitely progressed beyond this video. The pace is slower than 3-4 but I put a lot more into it than I can put into 3-4 and got a good workout in. It is definitely a good one to have around for days like this where I don't want to think, am short on time and can push myself hard and feel good about my efforts later. 3-4 has a bit of a dread factor for me, partly because it is longer but mostly because it is more challenging for me. I always feel good when I'm done but it is harder to push play. This one has no dread factor at all so that makes it even better to keep. Off to watch Project Runway (one of my guilty pleasures).

Good job fitting it in, . Sounds like you had a nice workout.
