Day 2 - Insanity and Karate

So my work out yesterday consisted of Insanity with Shaun T(around 5pm) - the Plyometric Cardio Circuit (40 minutes). Burning fat with intervals of intense lower body plyo and sweat inducing cardio. Well #1 - I was sweating for sure. More than a women should sweat. LOL Thats ok - that means I was putting 110% into my workout. Don't get me wrong - there were times I had to stop - my body was telling me "NEED BREAK". Thats ok... as Shaun T will tell ya - take breaks when needed. They were short ones - enough to catch my breath and for my legs to stop shaking. :)

The other part of my work out was Karate with Dawn Richey at East West Karate in Liverpool (7:30pm - 60 minutes). The first half hour of class is always conditioning. We had to do sprints - start off on one side - run to the other touch the cone - run backwards to the next cone and keep going. We then had to hold this dummy (I am not sure what the weight of it was) over our head and do squats (at this point I thought my legs were going to scream at me).  Then we had to do more sprints back and forth across the mat. Then onto our bellies - had to army crawl across the floor and back, bear crawl, and baby crawl... OMG - if legs could talk mine would have been swearing at me. Then we went into puches - all upper body - perfect!!! Then the remainder of class is karate moves - we did self defense moves - perfect!!

Hope everyone was able to get a work out in yesterday as well. Please share with me what you did - I would love to hear!!! :)
