Pure Cardio + Cardio Abs done!! Even hotter than usual, our AC is not working! Thank goodness, my best friend's dh works for heating/ cooling... They sent someone out ASAP and are fixing it now!!0

Pure Cardio, Cardio Abs, & Yoga -- all done.
Oh Jess, I don't know what I'd do without AC! You poor thing!! Of course, I could live without the HUGE electric bill we just received. :ohwell:0 -

Good job, girl!!
I know, unfortunately they had to order a part so it could be 2 days til it is fixed! :huh: Of course... the last 2 days it has hit 90* so it's hot in here!
Oh well, sweating burns calories, right? :laugh:0 -

2 days? Oof. Apparently they don't understand the urgency!
By the way, have you taken a peek at the month 2 workouts? Insanity truly strikes. The moves we're doing now in the main workout become part of the warmup. Yikes! :noway:0 -
Hey Ya'll.
Sandy, Month 1 looks awesome. That's were the major changes are going to come. I'm almost there.
I can't wait.
Super Job everyone. Keep up the crazy, insane workouts.0 -

Yikes! I haven't even looked at it yet, but maybe I should:bigsmile:
I pulled something in my glute/hamstring (can't really tell yet), so I'm going to do what I can today and see if feels better or worse when I workout :grumble:0 -
Hi all!
Starting week 4 today, Cardio & Abs! It's amazing how the old 'bod is responding to the killer workouts. Like Sandy, I have to do at least something on the "off" days...walking, biking, etc... I'm experiencing some mild tightness in my left calf, but was able to work through it by not pushing off so hard. It feels like cheating, but sometimes modifications are necessary. I'm looking forward to the "recovery" week.
BTW- Has anyone checked out the recovery CD? I'm curious to see what's in store for the so-called "recovery"!!! If it involves too much jumping, I may take it a bit easier by doing some walking & biking) to allow the body to repair itself before the Insanity of month 2 begins.0 -
I was able to finish Power & Resistance with some modification to accomodate my sore glute/hamstring. The pain goes from my lower back to about halfway to my knee...I was doing some P90X Kenpo and after one of my back kicks I felt it. Not sure what it is, but I'm going to take some advil and hope that it doesn't get any worse. I really hate it when I can't do what I want to do :explode:
I'm open to suggestions...0 -

Could be your sciatic nerve?? Is it a sharp pain or throbbing pain? Do you have a foam roller?? I swear by mine for any type of muscle or tendon. Hope it feels better!0 -
OK, I deviated it from the Insanity plan today. I ran 5 miles and just really didn't want to do CP + Resistance. So I did Tony's One on One Just Arms. I got in my cardio and then my resistance. :laugh:0

Hi guys still here and kicking :happy: . Getting prepared to go back to work next week YUCK! I did pure cardio and abs today and it wasn't so hard today yipee:bigsmile: ! Will do some legs later I think.
Jess you're right about Cathe's slow and heavy. BORING. Wish I didn't buy that one :mad: !!
Sandy you're scaring me about month 2!!! I have been too scared to look :frown: !
Went school supply shopping yesterday so got that crossed off my list!
Have a great day all!0 -

YAY! I did those workouts y'day. I know, major *snooze* fest. I'd much rather do her GS workouts.
I haven't looked ahead yet either... good idea! :drinker:
We are done school supply shopping too... my girls go back a week from tomorrow! :noway:0 -
Hi everyone!
I am on my 2nd week of Insanity and all I can say is WOW! The intensity is nothing I have ever experienced in a home fitness DVD! Shaun has out done himself with this one.

Hey Everyone!
What a day. Cardio Power & Resistance + Yoga this morning, and then it has been go go go since. Had to get the girls to swim lessons, go by my office, buy some school stuff & shoes. Our 5yo starts kindergarten tomorrow! Yikes!!
Steph: Welcome!
Jess & Laura: Way to Dig Deep!! You guys ROCK!!
Laddy: Hey!
smartinez & singfree: Have you tried yoga? I swear by it, and credit it for keeping me injury-free. You don't need a lot -- 25-30 minutes is all.
I did take a look at our 'recovery' workout for next week. It's not as crazy, but it still looks tough! :noway:0 -
Thanks for the welcome Sandy!:happy:

Hey lady! Good job getting in your workouts and of course on the go w/ the kiddos! It's never ending! My girls start back to school next Wed. 5th, 3rd, and 1st grades!!
Got hit w/ a migraine this afternoon. Haven't had one in ages!! Yuck! Managed to take a 3 mile walk after dinner, my 10yo really wanted to go so I'm glad I went. Now I'm relaxing on the couch and heading to bed soon. Good news though... AC is fixed!! :bigsmile:0 -

It's a constant pain which hurts more when bend over or squat down, but it does feel a little better today so I don't think I did any major damage. What's a foam roller?
Sandy - It's funny you mention Yoga, I was just thinking how much I miss YogaX...even though I hated it when I was doing P90X. Any shorter workouts you recommend?0 -
Plyo Circuit done this morning...some days I feel like it's the first time I've ever done these workouts
Could be that I went back to work this week after a week of vacation, so I'm back to getting up at 5 am and working out. 0 -
Sandy, I've tried yoga from time to time...I know it is good for me, but I guess I don't do it because I stink at it!!! The calf is the bigger issue than the knee. It is very tight, probably from all the plyo type moves. I am trying to stretch the calves as much as possible, because Shaun T. doesn't address that part during stretching. I will limp through the next few workouts, as next week is recovery week. I still feel as though I am getting a good workout, even with the gimpy calf!!0

I am the same way. I know yoga is good for me, but hard for me to do. I do stretch a lot though, I've learned the hard way!
Try this calf stretch. Stand on a set of stairs w/ the balls of your feet on the step and heels off. Drop your right heel down until you feel the stretch in your calf. Hold for 5 seconds. Pull your foot back up to level. Repeat w/ your left heel. Do about 10 sets of these. It will really help stretch your calves, I got that stretch from a PT when I was dealing w/ achilles tendonitis.0 -
OK, I really had to Dig Deeper this morning! Got in Plyo Circuit. After having a migraine y'day, I still felt kind of in *migraine fog* this morning. But... once I pushed play and made it through the warm up I was feeling better. Finished feeling strong, even that darn last set of Level 1 drills!!! Soaked through the towel that I had under my hands for those pushups/ sprints/ ab jumps, etc. Glad to be done!! :drinker:0
-
Jess, thank you for the tip...I will try it right away. When I do level1, it's like someone turned on a faucet. I sweat big time from that drill! I can do a lot of pushups, but in combination with the other stuff in level 1 drills, I'm a quivering mass of sweat & tears when it's over.0

Good Morning!
I'm just checking in real quick. Today is our 5yo's first day of Kindergarten, and I must say I'm a bit nervous about it now! :ohwell:
Plyo Cardio Circuit & Yoga for me this morning. I woke up late, so I had that extra adrenaline rush.
Way to Dig Deeper Jess!!
As far as yoga goes, I like Rodney Yee's AM Yoga. It has five 20-25 minute yoga practices, and can be done at any time of day. The yoga is pretty simple and basic, but still gives a great stretch. There's one practice that is called 'hip openers' -- lots of cobbler's poses that feel really good after Insanity.
There's also Tony's One-on-One Fountain of Youth yoga, which I love. And, I'm a big Shiva Rea fan too. When I have more time, I like her Surf Yoga Soul practice. It's fun and was filmed on the beach -- really beautiful scenery.0 -

Oh my gosh!! I had a towel under my hands while doing Level 1 today and it was soaked by the time I was done!!! Yucky! But effective. :bigsmile:0 -

Awwww, I hope you took lots of pics!! My youngest will be in 1st grade this year... how did that happen?? :noway:
I also like Tony's Fountain of Youth. I need to do it again (gonna have to push me, Sandy! :laugh: ).:laugh:0 -

She's not much of a picture taker, but I did sneak a few.
I don't know where the time goes; seems like just yesterday she was crawling around. I feel old!! :sad:
Now, what's this I hear about not wanting to do yoga? I thought we found your inner yogi long ago!0 -

Hi Jess!
Yep I couldnt resist to give Insanity a try! I am truly enjoying the program! Hope all is well on your end! I didnt get selected for the NYC marathon so Insanity is the next best thing.
Steph0 -
Recovery done. I wish this workout was longer and had more deep stretching in it. I may try to fit in StretchX or the second half of YogaX this evening.
Sandy - Thanks for the Yoga suggestions.0 -
Upper Body Weight Training & Cardio Recovery done.
Woke up late. Busy busy day ahead. AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
:noway:
I'll check in again later!0
