Insanity Day 5 - Pure Cardio

Day 5

So, today I woke up again way too early with a headache, only this time it was accompanied by severe nausea - aka... the nasty migraine, which are all too familiar to me. I fumbled around for some medicine and tried to go back to sleep. Sean was sweet to let me off the hook for the workout, but I still did it after I dropped our son off at preschool. While he was doing his workout, the nausea got the better of me... so I was already not in the best shape to start out the day. It can only get better from here though, right!?!

Overall, the workout wasn't too bad. I had several minutes logged on my armband as 8.8-14 calories a minute according to the read out device... and then the dang thing fell off again. I think I need to get a new strap, this one's velcro must be worn out. It's loading my calorie burn now... but I'm sure it's going to be off b/c it kept coming off my arm. I swear I spent a good portion of the workout trying to hold the dang thing on...

Anyway, back to the workout. It wasn't so bad - only he only gives you like 3 planned breaks throughout. However, he tells you when your form starts to go to take a break... so its up to your discretion to do so. I only had to really pause once, and it was during the suicide jumps, or what I know from TKB as sumo burpees.... some combo of that move plus migraine medicine was a recipe for disaster. I got dizzy and nauseous, and rather than describing it, lets just say it wasn't pretty.

As Shaun T says, "This Sh*t is Bananas Yo"! All in all, I look forward to doing this workout again when I feel better. :-)
