Insanity: The Asylum - DAY 19 - "Game Day" + "Overtime"

ExerciseInsanity: The Asylum

Yesterday was Day 18, "Relief", of The Asylum, so nothing really to report there.

But today was something new. Sorta.

Shaun T's AsylumI've done the "Game Day" workout before back on Day 11. It's almost an hour of non-stop cardio. It's hard. But today Shaun T added "Overtime" to that. I didn't know what to expect, except for more pain.

You know what? Not that bad! I mean, it was bad, but not as bad as I thought it would be.

"Game Day" was more enjoyable today than the first time through, probably because I knew the moves a bit better. The time really seemed to fly by.

So, what is "Overtime"? It's simply an additional 12 minutes or so of ... impossible ... moves.

I think that's why it wasn't so bad, because the moves are impossible, following on the heels of "Game Day", so I only did about half of the reps. But it was very cool to be so worn out and then continue the workout. Talk about a feeling of accomplishment. Wow! I can't believe I made it through.

"Vertical Plyo" is tomorrow. Got to love these weekend workouts.
