***Day 1***
So day 1 of the 'Insanity Workout' and I have to say it was harder than I anticipated. The 'Fitness Test' itself was challenging and quite fast paced and I was sweating even after the warm-up :-/ lol.
Food wise the manual that came with the DVD was very informative and has given me some good tips on how, when and what I should be eating.
If I had one concern at this point it would probably be my job, I just hope I can fit the training in comfortably around my work as I currently work shift hours which can sometimes be an issue, but I do know I will have to be 100% determined and committed to coming back each day if I am to have any chance of the completing the DVD and getting to my goal.
Finally just quickly I did enjoy the way it was broadcast to the audience and feel that I will improve as the challenge goes on.
Please feel free to add me for support :-)

***Day 2***
Just a quick update on today's progress.
I knew today would be a challenge as I had to work an eleven hour shift and my muscles were hurting a little from the day before, but once I got home and got into the cardio workout it wasn't actually too bad.
Today was the 'Plyometric Cardio Workout' - Again It was very fast paced and very challenging getting used to the numerous and fast interval routines, but I feel this will become easier as I progress.
Near to the end of the workout I did pause the DVD around 3 times just to catch my breath and wipe away the sweat :-/ lol
(But I didn't feel too bed as it was only day 2?)
One Thing I will say (Don't miss out the stretching) as this is very important to avoid unnecessary injuries and drink lot's of water!!!
Speak tomorrow :-)0 -
Good for you! I did it and I LOVED it.0
-
Thanks I am enjoying it at the moment0

***Day 3***
Hope everyone is well and staying focused!
Today I completed 'Cardio Power & Resistance' again another tough session which included new workout routines as well as moves from the past two days all mixed in together.
I did again find some parts challenging especially when Shaun T throws in new moves at a fast pace. Apart from that I definitely felt i improved in terms of staying focused and completing each interval to the best of my ability without pausing.
In terms of my body I have had the usual muscle aches but as long as you take Shaun's advice you should be fine.

***Day 4***
Hello,
Quick Update...
Today was 'Cardio Recovery' which involved numerous stretching routines which I have to say I really enjoyed. Not only was it nice to have a ''slower day'' I found that the stretching helped, as I was in a little pain from the previous fast workouts.
Hope everyone is doing well :-)0 -
***Day 5***
'Pure Cardio' well that say's it all for today's workout. OUCH!
I found today quite tough as it was continuous fast cardio without any scheduled rest periods (Just Shaun T telling you to get some water)
As tough as the workout was I am definitely improving in terms of my pace which I am pleased about after day 5.0 -
***Day 6***
Fallen a little behind on my daily updates :-/
Anyway I am pleased to say that I really enjoyed today's workout which was 'Cardio Abs'
I found the pace very comfortable and was able to complete the whole workout without any stops.
***Day 7***
Rest Day
(Much Needed) :-)0 -
***Day 8***
After having a nice day of rest it was straight back into 'Cardio & Power Resistance'
I noticed the workout was still quite hard at this stage but I was able to battle through without any pauses.
After the first week I haven't noticed any major change to my body but my abs, legs and arms definitely feel harder and I feel confident that i'm heading in the right direction.
I'm also eating well and feel more energised.0 -
Keep it up! That program is awesome!
I'm impatiently waiting for Asylum: Vol 2!0 -
Thanks0

***Day 9***
Back to 'Pure Cardio'
Was again a little hard but I am pushing myself to the limit. I'm gonna do this !!!!!!!!!!!!
:-)0 -
Really feeling it today :-/0
-
***Day 10***
Back to 'Plyometric Cardio Circuit'
Today was tough, I was pushing hard but just wasn't getting to my full potential and had to stop a few times.
I think this may have been caused by the lack of food throughout the day which had not helped, and I had been out the night before and had a few drinks :-(
Saying that, I have been strict and have cut down a lot over the past few weeks and felt I needed a ''treat day''
BUT it's back to work from today - I CAN DO IT!!!!!!!0 -
***Day 11***
Cardio Recovery
Today I felt the burn with the numerous stretches and I am starting to feel/notice real improvements in terms of -
Increased Flexibility
Improved Posture
Enhanced Muscle Co-ordination
Relief From Pain
Relaxation and stress relief0 -
Will now be updating every few days as I go into week 3.....
***Day15***
2nd Fitness Test
Really enjoyed today's fitness test and improved on all the workouts which I am really pleased about...
Am also eating well and people are noticing I am now really starting to tone up.0
