I guess it is to be expected that when you are working out hard your body is more susceptible to injury and illness, but when it happens it is still really annoying.
Chris and I went to the Pink Concert last Thursday (GREAT CONCERT!) and had a great time, but by Friday I was starting to feel a little run down and my eyes were really bothering me. The air quality has been poor so I thought it was just allergies but I was generally not feeling well.
I decided that an Insanity workout would be too much so I did a more Crossfit style workout on Saturday - 10 declining sets of pullups, squats, shoulder press and pushups. you do 10 of each exercise the first set and then for every subsequent set you do one less rep...10 then 9 then 8, etc. I kept the weight light - 15 lbs dumbbells. By Saturday night I was really exhausted and then Sunday I felt better for most of the day...then Monday - puky. I had to stay home. I was done.
Tuesday I got up and stretched a little but had very little energy. Wednesday I jumped in and did Core Cardio and Balance. Thursday I pushed myself and got though Sports Training, Friday I managed Plyo Circuit and today took it easy with ChaLean Burn it Off.
I am clearly off the Insanity rotation but what are you gonna do when your body just won't cooperate. I honestly think that the month 2 rotation is a little too much for my age. I need one extra easy day a week.
I plan to get back in next week but with my own version of the plan.
M - Insanity Upper Body and Cardio Abs
T - Max Plyo
W - Max Recovery
Th - Max Interval Circuit
Fr - Core Cardio and Balance
Sat - Pure Cardio and Insane Abs
Hopefully I can stay high energy the whole week.
