HIIT20

Did HIIT20 and saw my HR go up from 80's before I started, to 130's, then up, up, up to the 160's near the end. But once it was over, I felt like it wasn't quite enough. I think it was partly because I was still learning the moves so much on the first round of each set that I wasn't able to really CRUSH it the way it was supposed to be. But I know next time... I WILL!! Now that I know what to expect. This first couple of weeks of the program is more like orientation. Once I start doing more of these classes for the second time or more- I will be able to hit them with maximum form and power. I'm looking forward to getting past this learning curve stage!

Anyway- even though the workout went super-fast and I felt like I was only just getting started, I was dripping sweat by the end!! So instead of wrapping it up and doing Stretch10... I put in Insanity Plyo Cardio just to do the warm-up. I was curious if I could still do it all the way through without stopping. Well... sad to say, I had to take little breaks here and there!!! Drats!! It's "only" 10 minutes- but WOW, it's the most killer 10 minutes of your life! LOL And that's just the warm-up!! There's a reason why Insanity is called INSANITY. It's still going to a step above TurboFire in toughness, in my book.

My HR maintained a good solid 160 range all the way through... and that was the feeling I wanted. A longer period of high intensity. I love HIIT20 for how short it went- but it just didn't give me that "feeling"... at least not this time through.

Then I cooled down with the long stretch that comes after the Insanity warm-up, instead of Stretch10.

I love that post-workout high!
