Insanity Asylum. I must be nuts!

Yesterday:  Speed & Agility.  A clusterfuck of moves & progressions that involved a lot of jumping, fast footwork with the agility ladder, and plank work.  I enjoyed many of the exercises in this routine; I felt like I was back at soccer practice.  I tried to think of the agility ladder as the hopscotch game from elementary days but that only held off the pain and frustration for a while.  As my conditioning improves, I anticipate really loving this workout but for now it's mostly just frustrating and painful.

Today:  Strength.  Today all I used were dumb bells.  John was able to use a pull-up bar but I have yet in my life to do one actual pull-up.  It's on my bucket list and some day I hope to be able to do one.  Not five not twenty; I'd be happy with just one.  But I digress.  Strength.  Today was a mix of dumb bell arm moves paired with squats, lunges, jumps, push ups, and plank work.  Very little rest.  I liked Strength better than Speed & Agility because I didn't have to worry about tripping over the damned agility ladder.

It's a 30 day program so we'll see what my results are at the beginning of June-ish.

Now it's time to pack & get ready for the NYSSLHA Convention.  Saratoga here I come :)
