We struggle against ourselves, physically and/or mentally with any exercise. This is my journey.

Day #5 - Pure Cardio

This is the workout that must have given this program it's name, because that was just absolute insanity! 30 minutes of straight up, all out, no water break, cardio! I was able to do a lot more than I was thinking I could do, but not as much as I want... yet. I know it will come, as it's only day 5.

As for the exercises, there was more running and jumping. Many of the fit test exercises were included, as well.

Personally, I was able to keep up for about the first seven minutes and then I was needing to take a break as my calves were on fire. Moat of the other breaks I had to take were do to lack of oxygen. I'm looking forward to when my cardio level is higher and I can get through the entire workout. Is that even possible? Well, that is one of my goals. I've also noticed that I haven't needed my knee brace on my left knee yet. Although, as of late I've only needed if I was exercising for long periods of time, like three base ball games.

Anyway, off to get my recovery drink. Tomorrow is the day I would usually schedule an off day, but since I don't have a softball game I'll workout to makeup for the day I missed last Wednesday.
