I have finally decided to admit defeat and move on from Insanity to another workout! Two weeks ago, I had the botox procedure done for migraines and it has done wonders for my headaches. However, I had to take time off of Insanity after that as well as modify A LOT of the moves. Post procedure, I'm no longer allowed to do push ups or pull ups anymore due to a trigger point in my traps... Now, the pull ups part doesn't affect me as far as Insanity is concerned, but the push ups do. There are a lot of pushups in this bad boy! Also, I have been forbidden from doing planks and such for 4-6 weeks post procedure. I keep attempting to go back to it, but with my neck still having some residual soreness, I can hardly make it through the warm up before deciding that the pain isn't worth it. I know, Pain is weakness leaving the body... but trust me, this type of pain is a little different than just muscle sore and I'm not willing to risk backsliding this time! I'm learning to listen to my body - and it says it just isn't ready for a workout this high impact and intense.
All that being said... If anyone has any suggestions of another program, I'm all ears. And in the meantime, I'm going to go back to TKB tomorrow... again... and I'll be the "modifier" near the front. :-)
