Happy Wednesday team!! Yesterday was my week 6 day 2 workout. I did Insanity power cardio and resistance and it was quite a workout! I have been doing the shorter "fast and furious" workout since I started this round of hybrid so yesterday was the first time in weeks that I did a full Insanity workout. I was able to keep up with most of the moves without extra breaks like I used to. My heart rate went up to 189 on a few occasions -- especially after the power jumps. I had to take a break there and slow down because that was pretty much my max heart rate! When I weigh in this morning, I dropped about 2 lbs since my last weigh in last week. At 5'10" and 152 lbs, many think that the number appears to be skinny but I know I still have 1-2% of body fat to drop to get completely ripped. I've no doubt that by the end of this round of hybrid, I can get there!

Keep pushing play y'all!!

I felt better yesterday and didnt have to take any pain killers. It worked out great since i was driving my family to Houston for a gathering. We were staying at a hotel so I checked out the hotel gym last night. They didn't have any weights equipments but had bunch of treadmill machines. So I ended up running for 30 mins at 6mph. I'm not a runner. Never was. I hated running because it had always hurt my knees and I couldn't breath well. The last time I ran for more than 10 minutes was last year - before I started this journey. I had so much problem catching my breath and I had to stop after 10+ minutes because I thought I was having a heart attack. Lol.

Last night though was a different story. I was like a completely different person. My breathing was smooth, my knees and thighs never once locked up on me. I was looking for the "breaking point" at around the 15 minute point which never happened:) I was actually enjoying it. I think I'm going to start running more and maybe do a half marathon by the end of the year.

I'm driving back to Dallas this evening. You know I'll be going straight for my dumbbells after missing workout for 3 days! Time to bring it!!!

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend and don't let the holiday feasts (or not) ruin your effort

@falena - Yes, you need to heal up first. I actually hurt my lower back doing kenpoX a while ago so I understand the frustration. And yeah go figure why a program as mild as KenpoX would injure my lower back LOL. I think I didn't warm up and stretch enough that day. That's why warming up and stretching is extremely important. Even if we don't have the perfect form, with stretching we're less prone to injuries. Lessons learned for sure.

So did you get any result from insanity at all?

That's pretty good! What's your starting weight?

Yesterday I did fast and furious. Nothing fancy there, just good old max interval. I like how it got my heart rate up pretty much the whole time! I went to help my sister ,ove earlier. She didnt have a lot of stuff and thats why we had to stop by and picked up quite a few furnitures from the stores. A bunch of loading and unloading.. Took like 6 hours or so. Wish we had more help but i kind of liked it as nothing was too heavy for me Today is legs and back and arx!

Good morning!! Yesterday was fast and furious for me again. I've been doing it twice a week as my cardio routine of choice. As my BF% is hovering around 7%, I thought I could cut back on my cardio and focus more on weight to gain or at least condition the muscles. This is a very SLOW way to getting cut and ripped as I've noticed myself. But on the other hand, since my BF% is rather low or close to my goal, I don't want to end up losing much muscles due to the calorie deficit that I'm having. It's slow but I'm still seeing result. My advice for you all is: if your body fat% is not below 10% and if you're still not seeing the abs, stay on a fat shredder diet with calorie deficit. It will work!
