Insane!!

This weekend, I met another one of Craig's friends girlfriends who happens to be a spin instructor. This girl had an AMAZING body. I couldn't help but asking her what her secret was. She told me variety. Lots of pylo work and different workout routines to always keep her body guessing. I started thinking about my workouts lately. I have Incorporated some new lifting routines, but my cardio is always the same. Run on Monday/Tuesday, Wednesday cycle, Thursday run, Friday elliptical and Saturday run. Don't get me wrong I love running and the endorphin high, but since I am not really training for anything specific I might as well enjoy a little spice in my workouts. So I took up the Insanity workout challenge today, yes it is INSANE!
I did do some research on this program the past few nights and discovered that a lot of endurance runners incorporate some of the Insanity videos into their workouts to help with speed and agility. So I figured it would give me a shot. Well it kicked my rear into gear. I completed the 45 minute Plyo workout. The DVD consisted of Mountain Climbers, Squat Jumps, Jumping Jacks, Push Ups and many more high intense cardio moves. I did like how every 10 minutes or so there would be a water break for about 30 seconds. Also, half way through the video there is a short stretching session.
Yes, this was an awesome workout, but parts of it was just to hard and almost impossible for me to accomplish. Really, I was on my knees thinking "are you kidding me??" I do think if I continue this, it will get a little easier so I think that I might be sticking with it. The only downfall is being sore, I am laying on the couch with swollen legs as I type. What do I expect for jazzing up my workout? I figure I might add in this Pylo workout plus the Extreme Cardio workout once a week into my routine. The other days I can focus more on cycling, running, and some light weight lifting.
