Insanity?

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:

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:

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:

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:

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...

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:

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!

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:

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:

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.

Steph

Hiya Steph!! Long time no *see*. Glad you are joining in on the Insanity!! :bigsmile:

I'm open to suggestions...

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!

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?

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!!

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:

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.

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:
