Insanity Max Recovery plus over 100 cardio ideas

Insanity Max recovery is no joke!  Lots of stretching which is fabulous, but lots of push ups, plank work and more plie squats.  But a great break from the cardio insanity that has been happening.  I feel stronger and that it prepared me for the max insanity this month has in store for me. If this doesn't get that last 5lbs off, not sure what will.
