    Day 5 complete - I struggled to keep up but did as best as I could. "The ** is bananas yo." Push ups are definitely not my forte. I used to knock them out when I was in the military but 15 years later - not so much!

    I didn't post anything yesterday because I know I didn't push myself as hard as I should have doing Day 5 workout. I felt burnt out after a long day, especially waking up in the morn to make up for not working out the night before, even though it was only recovery. By the time I got home from work and school (didn't have a good day there either), I didn't even feel like working out at all, but I didn't want to miss a day. 60 days is 60 days, straight, no excuses!

    Well, I made up for it today. I pushed and pushed and finished Day 6 with a bang! A repeat of Day 2, but I can certainly tell that I pushed harder than I did on Monday and I feel good about it! Dig Deeper!

    Finally done Pure Cardio. Started it at 8pm tonight. I need to get these Insanity workouts done in the morning when I have more energy. Push up jacks, I will master you by the end of these 60 days!

    Pure cardio was craaaaaaazy! I couldn't believe how much I sweat today! Tonight I asked my boyfriend to join my workout and push me harder as he's done more insanity than I have. I definitely pushed harder and took less breaks. Actually getting excited for future workouts now because I can feel my body getting stronger!

    Well, I'm about to get off my *kitten* and complete day 6 the circuit again!! Then Sunday is rest day. Are you guys planning on resting or do you think you'll so some other kind of exercise?? Idk I've been told a rest day is really important, but idk if I can fight the urge to work out lol. If you don't work out are you bumping down your calories for the day? Aren't we suppose to? Because that's what makes sense to me. I'm really excited to weigh myself Monday morning and check my measurements to see how I did for the week!! Have an awesome Saturday everyone!!!

    My rest days fall on a Saturday and my family has a standing Saturday morning walk that we have done every week since November. We do 3 miles and I generally burn about 600-700 calories. Since today was supposed to be a rest day, we slowed it down a little (though I actually walked faster than normal) and only did 2 miles. So I guess you can call that a rest...

    We all deserve this much needed rest day today. I hope you're all thoroughly enjoying a day off from Shaun T. I love to do an extra stretch class on Sundays just to keep my body moving but in a relaxing way!

    Day 7 Complete! So glad I have stuck at it and stared week 2! Must admit it was tough getting up this morning, freezing cold here. The workout was good although still finding it tough and taking more breaks than I should but on a positive, I managed 4 push ups in one go, total of 12, last week I couldn't do any!

    I had my rest day on Friday as I work in London on a Friday so am up and out of the house at 5am and not home until 10pm, I also play soccer on a Saturday so didnt do my workout til the next day.
    Just did my second Cardio Plyometric workout - very hard again but felt slightly stronger. Still struggling a LOT with Insanity drills - jump up, jump down, jump back, 4 press ups etc....It is torture especially 30 minutes in! But love the feeling of actually completing my workout and my protein shake is so tasty that its a real treat afterwards.

    I definitely felt like I pushed really hard today. I feel like I'm getting stronger too. I'm doing more reps during the sets of the circuit. I'm excited for the next fit test. I think I'm going to see a big difference :D I also tried listening to my own music during the video instead of the music that comes with it and I think it helped get me into it. Something about rock music really gets me going, lol. I hope you are also seeing improvement with this new week too!!

    Well, my accountability slipped and I didn't workout yesterday. But we got back in it today and pushed through Day 7. I don't know about you, but I actually love doing push ups now. When I started working out in November, I could barely do a "girl" push up, but now I'm pushing them out and keeping up with the video. I must say, I am actually proud of myself and it feels really good.
