Day 5!! Insane Cardio!

WOW! Day 5 today was called Pure Cardio and it was purely go...go...go.  I was so happy to make it through.  Yesterday was called "Recovery" HA! It was tough yoga.  My legs were so sore this morning I didn't think I could do today.  However, my sweetie said that as soon as I started my legs would quit hurting.  Then he sweetly offered to ride his spinning bike while I did my Insanity.  He was pushing me the whole time and I did get a much better workout.

Here we are all hot and sweaty from working out together!

Here is the back story...You need to know my hubby was a paratrooper in the US ARMY and a green beret medic.  He loved jumping out of planes and running for miles with a ruck sack and full gear on.  He was very physically fit up until he broke his back twice, once jumping out of planes and again falling off a telephone pole.  He has two steel plates and 4 bolts holding his back together.  He had a fusion of his lower spine and is lucky to be walking.  He had to take pain pills for years and has put on weight over the past years as he struggles with daily pain.  We both have made this commitment to lead a healthier life and set a good example for our girls.  So being the man that he is he thought he would give the Insanity the good ole "Jimbo" try.  A few days ago he tried to join in with me on this workout.  He started off strong and made it through the warm ups, but then while we were stretching we both heard a POP and he had to sit down.  That put him in bed for 2 days.  He has a rule that by the third day he gets up regardless.  So he did manage to get it under control enough to spend the day with us, get stuff done and even go on a family date.  So today I was so happy when he was able to ride along side me.  I am so proud of him.  He is a great example to our girls of overcoming the odds against you and never giving up.  He is a great help to me in keeping me going.  He was constantly giving me good feedback and telling me he was impressed and how I was going to be just like the people on the video.  It really helped to have that support system.

I love him and I am glad to be taking this journey together!
