Insanity workout!

stacw1987

I'm on round 1 - day 11! I absolutely love Insanity! I love Shaun T and how he pushes you! I don't find him annoying like other instructors and I can not wait to see the results!

It is hard and it will push you but make sure you listen to him and get your form correct! Form first, then speed!

Good luck! Feel free to add me! :-)

Really liking Insanity.

Now that i see how it works, I think I might be able to create some fun exercises when its done that i enjoy to keep the body moving.

One I just made up involves stairs:

-5 quick push ups towards the stair that is directly across from your chest with arms straight (you can go one higher to work upper chest or one lower to work lower chest).

-Hold position then jog your feet up the stairs as high as you can go (arms still on same stair) then back down 3 times then stop with feet at the bottom.

-next with feet at bottom squat down and touch the first step then jump up to the sky with arms up from there. Do this 8 times

Then repeat.

I like it. If you do that sequence fast enough, you will get a good cardio work out.

Cool.

How much weight did you lose on it each time?

My thoughts

1. Your body does get more used to it by the second week. I'm no longer scared.

2.As much as I hate stretching, i enjoy it because it's your break and it eats up time. LOL It's like cheating.

3. I might start running on the treadmill again on Wednesday in addition to insanity. i miss it. I wasn't sure i could do both but I think i can. I'll just cut the running to 30 -40 min instead of an hour.

4. with the 123 Heisman, i don't feel so bad no...I've noticed some of them lift inside leg up (he doesn't. He lifts outside leg). I CAN do it lifting inside leg with no problem. I just can't do it lifting outside leg. Now that i see others are doing it my way I'm fine.

Day 8 and feeling great!

I must admit I'm not following the nutrition plan perfectly (with the 5 small meals). i do have my own recovery drink. I am following the total calorie guidelines (except me messing up for two days-carb cravings...I forgive myself).

For accurate calorie tracking ideally you want to use a heart rate monitor. But failing that you can use this website http://insanitycalories.com/ which allows you to add you weight and intensity against the specific workout and gives you a figure of calories burned. How accurate it is I really do not know but I've used it. You can add the workouts to the database yourself on the same page that you search for workouts at the bottom of the box that lists the matching workouts.

Hope this helps!

I just started Monday and so far am really liking it! I am sore, but must show I'm doing something right! I'm trying to follow the eating plan and I'm try to log all my food and beverages daily. I sent you a friend request too!
