    5.5 mile run so far. Fit Test to follow... just no time to get it done last night after unpacking and getting home from the busy weekend! :bigsmile:

    And noticing my clothes are all getting too big!! Even my favorite Levi's shorts... baggy!!! These were a bit snug before!! :noway: Went through my fall clothes/ jeans and need to go shopping. Even the shirts feel loose!!

    YAY Insanity!

    YAY Jess!! Nothing makes a girl feel better than needing to buy smaller clothes! :drinker:

    Day 51 : Max Interval Plyo & Yoga

    Okay, here's something crazy. Had I had more time, I would have rewound the last circuit & repeated it! I'm a nut! :laugh: My body is definitely getting more efficient with these workouts -- calorie burns are down and I no longer feel the need to pause. I just keep going and going and going, like the Energizer bunny! :laugh:

    Speaking of time, I need to step away from the computer and get the kids ready for the day. I'll be back later!

    I started yesterday with the fit test! Yikes! Today I did my first workout it was great! I had trouble with the last circuit a bit but will work on improvements.

    I am following the Elite nutrition plan I needed some different foods so hopefully that will pull me out of a rut!

    Welcome aboard! I was very happy to see that the Elite Nutrition Plan already mirrors my normal intake. Yippee!!

    It is a great feeling, isn't it? I can't wait to see what Steve Edwards comes up with for the Insanity/P90X hybrid!

    Day 51 Interval Plyo done. I love this workout!!!!

    YAY!! I like that one too, not as much as I like Max Interval Circuit, but it's right up there! My favorite combo from Max Plyo are the Power Knees/Diamond Jumps during the last circuit. Love it!! :drinker:

    Hey everyone!

    I was suppos eto have started Max this week but due to a all of the labor day events I had to attend. I couldnt fit it in! So i am finishing up this week with a mix of Insanity Phase 1 and Chalean Extreme then get into the Insanity Max level starting Monday! Today was my first day getting back into the swing of things. I took a 4 day break from pushing plan and instead had 4 days of non stop dancing! I feel great!

    Good job!!

    I switched things around this week w/ the holiday on Monday. So today I did Max Plyo + Cardio Abs. Loved it, can't believe how much more *fit* that I feel.

    Ok, and took measurements last night. Still have less than 2 weeks to go to finish this round.

    So far...

    Chest ~ Down 2"
    Waist ~ Down 2"
    Hips ~ Down 3"
    Thighs ~ 1" off each thigh
    Calves ~ 1/2" off each calf (which is amazing because my calves are really muscular and *never* seem to shrink*

    Down 5.5 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Um, yeah, I'm happy about that!!!!!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Okay, confession time. My body is not responding to Insanity the way it does with P90X. I've only taken my waist measurement lately, and it has gone up 1/2" & my weight is up 1-2 pounds depending on the day. I just don't feel as shredded as I did prior to Insanity.

    It's not that I don't love Insanity, because I totally do. I just think that my body responds better to weight training. I know I am stronger & my endurance has increased dramatically, but I can't wait to hit the weights again. I'm on day 52, so it's not like I have that much longer to go! My next rotation will definitely be a P90X/One-on-One/Insanity hybrid.

    Thanks to Insanity, I'm pretty sure I will crush Chest & Back the next time I give it a go.

    Oh, and I also realize that adding a pound or two isn't the worst thing that could happen to me. I am pretty thin! :tongue:

    Hey girl!! You know what works for you! I'm more of a cardio girl, but I do miss the heavier weight training also. I've been adding in some P90X along the way though. :laugh: Insanity works for me because my body needs a higher intensity cardio since I am used to running. I still don't burn as many cals w/ Insanity as I do w/ a run, but the changes are telling me that my body needs it anyway! :wink:

    Yeah, all of the pushups and full body work from Insanity will definitely help w/ Chest & Back!!

    I think a One on One/ P90X/ P90X+/ Insanity hybrid would be fun. :drinker:
