Are you doing the whole series? Where it changes week to week? And assuming you're doing it streaming vs having the DVD collection?LargeEricS wrote: »Friday

Three weeks of Insanity in the books. Glad today is rest day as insanity is brutal on the joints, but not standing still either. Little yoga for some deep stretching sounds just right. Diet has been on point all week and hoping the scale agrees. If it doesn't I can see and feel it so who cares.
Cardio: 30min lite yoga (200)
Strength: N/A
Assessment: Chicken, Rice and Red skin potatoes

I'm going to TRY and do the whole series hahaha. I ironically have the DVDs from my high school days, when I attempted the series once before(didn't finish though). And yes the workouts go back and forth throughout the week and switch in month two.

I know these aren't the typical workouts people post on here. But I'm not a very knowledgeable lifter, having started my fitness journey 1.5 yrs ago. What I do know about lifting comes from a routine I have down from a friend who was an amateur body builder, and went to school for two semester(before switching, no demand in our area) to be a personal trainer. Obviously that doesn't make him a genius as everyone tries/thinks they're a body builder too. However he was jacked, and if I could obtain even half of what he had I'd be happy. I was originally 285 lbs and flat out a fat *kitten* no way around it. I got engaged and decided to do something about it. He helped me shed 70lbs, and I couldn't have been happier. Fast forward to switching jobs and living in a truck, driving all day and I'm 240lbs again and just trying to trim down before we can hit the gym together again. For the record I dont have single piece of home equipment not even a dumbbell or set of bands lol. The gym in my town was much more cost effective and they had everything already.1 -
Still here lol

I tend to skip some days on here, but take solace in knowing I just forget during my days to post. I am getting my workouts in and staying on point. Also if it seems like I do this plyo everyday I don't, only twice a week. Just so happens that seems to be one of the days I always post. I do hate this day the most, maybe subconsciously trying to get motivated to do it??? Anywho 3 weeks in and down 5lbs!!!
Cardio: Day 24 (plyo 425 cal)
Strength: N/A till my gym reopens
Assessment: spaghetti and turkey meatballs

That's good. I personally learned from a bodybuilder and then 4 years later competed myself in local amatuer shows. Never won cause I was 4 inches taller than most of the guys I competed against and looked skinny next to them. But later went on to get my certification and I've been instructing ever since.LargeEricS wrote: »

Small Victory!!!!!
Working on liking myself Unconditionally
Month 1 of insanity in the books. The inner pride I have right now is off the charts. Insanity is a tough program and I've tried on more than one occasion to complete it and never have. This time I'm more physically ready for challenge, and it's my time! A full week of slower paced recovery workouts will be nice too. Marking this occasion with a bit of a splurge on dinner (within moderation of course)
Cardio: Day 27 (Plyo 450 cal)

Working on liking myself Unconditionally
This week was my Recovery Week, and the workout was actually easy for me this time around. I havent kept up on my posting but the week was so easy I didn't really need the accountability to help me press play everyday. I suspect that will be changing as I will be starting Month 2 tomorrow! I'm actually nlmore excited than nervous. I've made it to this point before in my previous attempts, but found month 2 so challenging that I couldn't physically and mentally conquer it. This is the best shape I've been since my high school days, which is just as sad as it is true, and I will finally achieve the body I've been working towards this year.
Cardio: Day 35 ( Fit Test 275 cal)
Strength: N/A till my gym reopens

Today will be the 3rd day of month 2 for me, Day 38, Max Cardio Conditioning. The first two days were rough. The two biggest differences to me are the length obviously, and the strength required. For the length, 60mins is just a long time to go wide open, and I get so tired I get a sense of time just dragging on which in turns just wears on me mentally. But the strength required is the biggest change, to me at least. After month one I am more than conditioned cardio wise to keep chugging through month 2, but shaun t stepped up the upper body attention. Yesterday was max plyo and he has you attempting like a 100 pushups or more plus other exercises in high plank, and so forth also taxing the upper body. However, what doesn't kill is suppose to make you stronger, or so they say.
Cardio: Day 38 ( Max Cardio 600+ cal.)

60 minutes of HIIT is much different than 60 minutes in the gym lifting and finishing with 15-20min of easy cardio. I don't want to sound lazy, but I'm looking ahead to greener pastures and easier days again lol

Yeah, I taught a kickboxing class on bags and we did 1 minute of exercise and then a 30 second rest, then continued till the hour was up. People would crawl out when we were done. And they PAID extra to do that class.LargeEricS wrote: »Still Grinding

Happy Humpday! Well because it was so hot yesterday, instead of cleaning the garage, I powerwashed the fence and today I'm putting on new waterproofing. Went out and bought an airless spray gun I hope to use more often.
