Congrats on the awesome race finishes @elizabeppes and @Djproulx !! Sheer determination there @Djproulx - sorry the weather was so crappy at the Beach (my original hometown).
Been traveling this week and generally just have been slacking off while in maintenance. My race season is starting in 2 weeks, so I need to get back to some focused workouts and stop making excuses. Unfortunately, the weather isn't cooperating for getting out on the water today, so I'm doing land-based training (planks and squats, and some mileage later).
Stay cool, kids - and have a wonderful weekend!0 -
14km on the rower. Took just under 1:20. Followed by assisted chin-ups and dips. Followed by a lovely pear, goat cheese, and candied walnut salad with champagne vinaigrette.

let me get back to you Friday. this is my fist time through and first week of month 2. haven't tried "MAX STRENGTH" or "Friday Fight: Round 2" yet."INSANITY MAX:30 Friday Fight: Round 1"=Done! 23:37!
Very nice! I've been thinking about doing Max 30. Is this the first time you've done this workout series? Can you let us know how you like the program and maybe what you don't like, if anything?
I'm very interested in your feedback.
Awesome! Thank you.
ok...here goes. I think "MAX:30" is better than the original and Asylum (damn jump rope!!!!!!). more thought out, better presented.
first...there's a warm up, not just getting thrown in the deep end. after the warm up...deep end! no time is wasted on long, wonky stretching. the whole MAX OUT thing seems to work for me too. I made 9:03 today...progress=even just 9:04 next time. it's written down so I can't even screw that up! I know what I gotta do. what I don't like?...some of these moves and circuits are HARD!!! but the things that we struggle with make us stronger...so, still at it.
that said...there is a cool down, but it's not part of the 30 minutes. there are 2-3 minute cool downs AFTER each routine. and 3 days a week there is a 10-15 minute ab routine. so some days you're looking at up to 48 minutes.

Just did my farthest run yet at 5 miles. Can't quite believe it. I think it will be a year before I can say that I am a runner.2

Hi! I'm a 42 year old mom of 3 boys ages 16, 10, and 1. My goal is simply to be the healthiest version of me I can be. Feel free to add me.3

"INSANITY MAX:30 Pulse"=Done!2

Woot! After over 2 weeks of being off the water (weather, travel, life), I finally got a nice paddle in today - 5.69 miles, just under 2 hours. For me, race season starts in 2 weeks, so it was good to be back on the water even though it took me a while to get my water legs back. Was super happy to paddle the whole time without a break, though I'm exhausted and likely will be feeling it tomorrow (when I have another paddle with my race buddy).

"rest" day!
stupid grocery shopping=Done!
Laundry...in progress.
should food prep...but i'm behind on my movies. so...Kong: Skull Island this morning. probably gonna hit Power Rangers this afternoon. YES POWER RANGERS go ahead and laugh.1 -
Woot, second day of stand up paddleboarding in as many days - 3.28 miles with a friend. We also practiced our cross over turns. Just prepping for a race in two weeks. We kept it a bit easy as she had run a road race yesterday and I had done a long paddle, so we were both a bit tired and sore. Gorgeous day on the water, though only saw a few rays.2

Short but strenuous hike on the Appalachian Trail. Snow on the ground made for slippery footing, and there was a bit of freezing rain. But the woods were quiet and the mountains were beautiful. Two hours well spent.8

Switching to maintenance for a couple of weeks, still want to lose 3-4lbs, but need a break. Though really I'm not good at changing so I'll just eat the same and then hopefully cut down my night time protein bites, or weekend beer! Managed to get to 142 from 148/149 so I'm happy, I'd love to get under 140 to have some room for summer beer or December indulgence! Off to focus pad class tomorrow and then a focus pad/striking class with Leo Loucks on Tuesday, kickboxing Wednesday, Friday and Saturday and kettlebell Saturday. Skipping kettlebell on Tuesday for the striking/focus pad class.
Managed to get a long walk in today and got my meal prep done. Glad everyone is keeping busy!2 -

Thank you, so much! I watched a couple of YouTube videos on the the series over the weekend. Based on your feedback and what I have seen, I will likely get the program to start once I finish with my current P90X Plus program. Thanks, again! Looking forward to hearing more of your progress.
Take care.1 -
Just started a new 12 week workout cycle after a repeat of the last 4 weeks of P90X Classic, finishing off with a recovery week of cardio, stretching and yoga. Fitness Progress and Numbers have been good. I started in late November 2016 and I've gone from 204 to 174 lbs, lost 5 inches from my waist and 1.5 inches from my neck. Resting pulse has gone from high 70s to mid 50s. Seeing a lot more muscle definition all over and strength has increased significantly.
Just completed week 1/day 2 of P90X Plus hybrid, where I am subbing various cardio workouts (spinning, rowing, other) for Kenpo Cardio Plus), adding an additional Yoga session to the strength workouts on day one every week and extra pull up session on day's 3 and 6 to advance from band-assisted pull ups to the real deal by week 12.
Looking to get down to Fit and lean 155 to 160lbs.2 -
Starting recomp today 3

Third day in a row of Stand Up Paddleboarding (6.77 miles/126 minutes) -- so very tired. First race of the season in two weeks, and still need to drop some time to be competitive. Weather was too beautiful today to do weights in the gym. The dolphins joined me today on part of my paddle...love it when I see them.5

Happy Monday kids. My trainer took it to me today. When I say I was pushed to my physical limit, indeed I was. I was definitely challenged. Have a good night.4
