There are no words. Buuuut this guy pretty much sums it up.
First let me start with a quote from the workout, that Shaun says. "The work doesn't start until you are in PAIN." WTH?!
OK. So this workout was REALLY DIFFERENT. I was definitely sweating in the warm up and during some parts of the workout-but it wasn't your typical Shaun T sweatfest. It was a firefest of burning in places you never knew existed in your body. There are alot of pulses (Ohhh the pulses I hate you), static holds, balance crap (which I'm aweful at), and just things that don't really feel good at all. And I may have had to go to the bathroom immediately postworkout to takecareofbusinessifyouknowwhatImean. Who knows why?? Anway-so you see the title-and it has the word "Core" in it. Cool. I'm expecting some abdominal stuff but NO CRUNCHES BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW SHAUN AIN'T DOWN WITH THAT SHIZ. NO. NO. NO. It wasn't anything that I was expecting. We pretty much worked the back of our core. Wierd, right? I didn't even know you could do that. There was alot of butt work, and hamstring moves that mademewannadie. Yeah, you had to keep your core tight to even do the moves properly, but in no way was the "superficial" layer of our abs worked in a typical way. The reverse delts got a heck of a workout as well, which I loved because I always find that hard for me to do. OH and this is where you incoporate the green band. I don't even wanna think about it. I hated that thing. In a good way. What ever that means.
So. Each time I put an "X" over a day of the Asylum calander/schedule-I feel like I just delivered a baby or something. Like I accomplished a huge hurdle. But then I look at tomorrow's agenda. VERTICLE PLYO. Like, I thought all plyo was verticle? I also heard that it makes grown men cry for their mommies. Great. I'm sure it'll be tons o' fun. Barf.

Day 3 Cardio Resistance-INSANITY
Again--HOLY CRAP--THAT WAS INSANE. It lives up to the name. I almost lost my salvation many, many times during that. J/k but seriously! That was SO HARD!! Puddles of sweat EVERYWHERE!
I thought MANY times I was going to have to stop-but I gotta admit, Shaun T is uber motivating, and the music ROCKS, and I made it! I would absolutely suggest hitting pause at the end of the workouts though, until your HR is back in the 120's, and then go into his stretch routine. This series is really making me question my athletic ability, but I am SO looking forward to the rest of it and see how it improves! Masochists REJOICE-this is a program for you if you like to push your limits to the point of almost puking...and trust me, your body will reward you physically and emotionally for all your hard work. Repeat-HARD work!! :)
