Insanity?

Good morning!

Sorry gang, I didn't do my Insanity workout yesterday. Our Grandson is at our house for a visit and it just did not get done. My off day is Sat, so I will just switch days this week. I hate to miss any workouts, but at leat it will have given my calf an extra day to heal. I also feel that with this intense program, my body might actually benefit from a day off more often so that I avoid some of those strains and pulls. Any thoughts? Thanks!

PS- I am reluctantly becoming a believer in the benefits of stretching & yoga. I still don't care for yoga too much (not flexible), but I'm trying!!

You're a machine! Can you send some of that energy over this way, please! :laugh:

I think you have enough energy, Yoga Queen! I'm making up for my lack of energy on Monday! :laugh:

I did love Max Recovery! I thought my legs were going to burst into flames during those squat pulses with both heels up. My goodness that was a long set! :laugh:

I really can't wait for Max Intervals tomorrow!! How crazy am I? :drinker:

Sandy,

did you see that the new one on one is patience " hummingbird" yoga? Thought of you right away .

Laura

I did see that! I can't wait! :bigsmile:

Day 41 : Max Interval Plyo

That is one crazy workout! Burned 425 calories, and then did some yoga. Tomorrow is XStretch day!

Now it's time to shower and tackle mounds of laundry & housecleaning. :ohwell:

Great job, girl! Saw you in WOWY this morning! I know, I'm doing laundry and housecleaning today too! It's never ending! :huh:

I guess I didn't post y'day or today!!

Well... I ended up doing 2 different workouts instead of following the Insanity schedule.

But... I did an awesome 5 miles of intervals on the elliptical y'day, then did a crazy swim w/ my buddy again (swimming mixed w/ pullups/ pushups/ planks).

Then today I did a hard 6.2 mile run and then did the Insanity Weighted Upper body workout. I decided to do some weights, I just felt like it!! I LOVED it, so glad that I ordered the extra Deluxe DVD's!! :bigsmile:

Nice workouts Jess! Any tri's coming up?

Isn't that Upper Body workout great? Shaun T. lifts fast, but I love it.

Nope, tri season is done for the year!! Now just WAIT for next year!! :laugh: I had someone ask me the other day what I was training for and I just said... I'm training for LIFE! :drinker:

Supposedly a rest day for me too but woke up a little early and did Jillian's Shred 3. Then took a walk w/ my dd's and the dog this afternoon. :bigsmile:

Completed Cardio Conditioning this morning on less than 5 hours of sleep. Needless to say it wasn't my greatest effort, but I did my best :ohwell: My shoulders are still a little tight from all those push-ups last week (love it).

Back to work today after vacation then to cheer practice with my daughter, hopefully I can get some laps in while they are practicing.

Day 43! Only 20 more days to go! Woo Hoo!!

Max Cardio Conditioning, Insane Abs, & Yoga all done -- a two scoop Recovery Drink workout, for sure!

Enjoyed my shower, and now I'm ready for my Proatmeal. Yummy! :drinker:

I'm only on day 5, I don't know if I can do it. I want to give up, but I know this would be great if I could just stick it out. I want that t-shirt, and I want to earn it.

Insanity isn't being billed as the toughest workout ever put on dvd for nothing. I've done four rounds of P90X, and it still gave me a swift kick. But it's much more of a mental game. You have to believe you can do it because your brain will give out long before your body will. Good luck.

Good morning!

Well, yesterday I re-started month 2 after allowing my knee & calf to heal. Sandy, you are quite right about this being a mental thing!! Yesterday, I was tempted to stop because I was becoming a bit fatigued. Somehow, looking at the TV and still seeing 25 minutes to go is a real mental challenge, especially in month 2 when the workouts are longer.

I've noticed that my workouts suffer when my nutrition is not sound. I ate some junk food yesterday at work, not my usual clean eating routine. My workout was kinda sluggish. A lesson well learned!

Hello Insane peeps!! I got in a good 5 mile run this morning. Got home to eat breakfast, make lunches, and got the kiddos off to school.

Now it's time to get Insane... Max Interval Circuit! :bigsmile:

Good Morning!

Max Interval Circuit (my favorite) & Yoga done. Now it's time to shower, eat breakfast, make lunches, and get the kiddos off to school & Little Gym! :drinker:

Our 2yo starts preschool tomorrow! :bigsmile:

Max Interval Circuit done too! Yes, I love this one!! Hope your dd does well at preschool!! :flowerforyou:

Time for lunch... my tummy is grumblin' already!! My metabolism feels like it is on FIRE!!! :devil:

Ohhh My Goodness I was extremely hungry this evening ! I came home thinking I would have a Protein Shake for dinner and that would be went out with Hubby shopping for bathroom fixtures etc. since we are in the process of renovating our home. I felt so weak. We didnt get back home until after 11:00 PM. I ran to the kitchen and toasted a multigrain bagel and warmed up a veggie patty. I Feel so much better now. I enjoyed every morsel!

I need to eat clean foods with more substance. I notice when I try to eat really lite ends up sabotaging me. After my late night meal I realized that I I ate up my allotted calories and almost all of my excercise calories. I have like 94 calories left. This is the first time I have come so close to eating up all my calories. I know one thing this wont happen to me tomorrow I plan on eating more to ensure that this crazy hunger pang doesnt sneak up on me again.
