Insanity is a fantastic program, but I'll admit, after the 20th day it can get incredibly boring. At this point, I have done the Plyometric Cardio Circuit three times and the exercises are mostly repeats of exercises in the other videos. So I have done virtually the same exercises for 40 minutes a day, every day for the last 20 days, minus the two days of rest.
So, in an effort to help combat the boredom I have given myself an electronic buffet to hold my attention. I have never been very good at doing one thing at a time and multi-tasking makes the time go faster. So I set up my computer to play Insanity but I kept it on mute so I could just watch the video, next to that I had the baby monitor on so I could watch Eden as she settled down to go to sleep, and next to that I have my iPad playing an episode of Bones. I am working out in my kitchen so during water breaks, stretches and cool downs I load the dishwasher with very exaggerated motions so I can stretch my legs while getting some work done. Sometimes I'll even wash dishes and sweep the floor. However, when the workout gets started, there is no room for dishes, so that's why I have Hulu playing on my iPad.
Thankfully, just about the time I am getting burnt out, I get to have a break. Tomorrow is my off day in the program and more than anything else I am looking forward to getting some time back in my day. Between the workout and getting cleaned up afterwards, Insanity takes up about two of the 4 precious hours I have each evening. Not sure yet what I will do tomorrow with my extra hours but you can be sure I am looking forward to it.
