cardio abs/ fast and furious abs
Two workouts today! Pure cardio and cardio abs. I got the deluxe package and have three videos that I've never done before. SO, this morning I did cardio abs and then also did fast and furious abs. It's only 10 minutes. It's pretty challenging, but nothing you can't handle. :) Has anyone else done this one before? What did…

plyo circuit!
It's everyone's favorite today! :) Man, I still can't do more than four "real" push ups and then I have to drop to those knees. Especially in those level one drills knowing the in and out abs are coming. My shoulders are definitely starting to get ripped so it's worth it!!!! Have a great Tuesday yall!

Would Rather do ANYTHING Besides the Fit Test Today!
I don't like having the Fit Test on a Monday. I am so sluggish today. Right after my rest day and Sunday was my cheat meal. However- I think Thursday would be perfect for a Fit Test and today my tired, tired body would LOVE to do a recovery video! So... I'm modifying this week a little bit :)

W2/D4
I know a lot of you guys do not do the scheduled workout today. I was actually planning on it (giving my poor calves a rest), but we have guests coming in town this weekend and I will probably not get to do Saturday's workout on Saturday so I did it today. Doing Pure Cardio just two days apart isn't right! Cardio Abs after…

Pure Cardio
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh I found my pure Cardio DVD. And now I think my subconscious may have put it in the "Friends" DVD holder instead on purpose. Ugh. plz no moar.

Insanity/Vegan
Hi! I'm a vegetarian who is doing the Insanity program. I am really wanting to get back into a full on vegan lifestyle and would love a support group of people who are vegans and do SERIOUS workouts. Feel free to post here, message me, or whatever. I'd love to start a group where we can bounce off meal plans, workouts,…

Not about working out, but...Tania
Did you guys know there is like a whole internet hate club for Tania from Insanity? There's almost enough to have it's own subreddit category! I'm sad I can't post pictures because there's one particular funny meme that says "Tonya, you lying w***e". HA! Not going to lie. Sometimes when she's giving her results I'm just…

Need a new disc...
Okay, so I have somehow lost one of my discs! No idea where I possibly could have put it. Someone told me that if you purchased Insanity through the beach body website, that you could get it replaced, but the beach body website is 100 points of UGH to me (there's just too much! and I'm not usually overwhelmed or confused…

Saturday workout
Did anyone else welcome the Core Cardio and Balance workout with open arms? I mean there are certainly parts of it that are challenging, but the 35 minutes and low intensity (for the most part) was so welcome. Happy Saturday, everyone :)

calves!!!!!
This morning I had to take so many breaks as my calves were just killing me with all the jumping. By the second round of the warm up. Yeah, it was actually a relief by the time we got to the suicide jumps and the ski abs just to be off my feet. And I don't just mean sore. I mean like after the jumping jacks I hurt hurt. I…

Skipping the Recovery Video?
this weekend is my best friend's Bachelorette party. We are getting to this little cabin we rented on Thursday night. I'm going to eat well Thursday and Friday during the day & I will be able to squeeze in my Thursday and Friday insanity before the whole group gets there. Saturday is out. I'm just not going to be able to…

eating on recovery day
So, when I do the math provided by the Insanity book I should be eating about 1550 calories a day since it's such a hard workout. Now, I've been programmed that 1200 is the perfect number for my age & size, etc.. But when I factor in the workouts from Insanity the 1550 count totally makes sense. Now, on recovery day & rest…
-
Additional workouts?
I've added a few of you guys as friends (also- feel free to add me!) because I love seeing what other people are doing & eating & their results, etc.. but I've noticed a lot of you guys are doing other workouts each day too, so I have a few questions: * Will I get amazing results just doing the Insanity & eating right…

Day 2. EXHAUSTED.
So, I did the day 2 cardio workout this morning before work- so that has me starting at 5:20 am. I am EXHAUSTED today. And feeling really dehydrated. Was planning on doing it before work most days, but now seriously rethinking it. It's crazy. I'm used to going to the gym before work, but I guess that's just more than I am…

Sports Bras/ Big boobs!
I am determined to find a good sports bra & it ain't easy! I am a 34DD. So, not too big around. I bought the TaTa Tamer from Lulu Lemon & was so disappointed. They told me it would be good for running, but to run I have to throw one of my cheap-o Target brand sports bras over it. Now the tata tamer is good for going to…

Herbalife/ Shakes
A friend of mine has started distributing Herbalife & has some nice results. I was considering doing it myself, but I don't like the cost of the shakes, plus I already have a meal replacement shake brand that I really like ( Garden of Life's RAW Meal &/or their RAW Protein typically fill me up if that's what I'm doing that…

Spicy Mustard?
So, I've noticed the last 2 weeks my scale has not been budging so I tried cutting out sweetener (setvia is pretty much all I use), energy bars, & other little things and saw no difference. Then I realized I use the brown or spicy mustard quite a lot. I never put it in my diary b/c it's 0 calorie, but maybe y'all can shine…
-
water?
Dumb question, maybe. If I've drank my 8x8 for that day of water, but work out for 45 minutes... I need to drink more water, right?

master cleanse & other cleanses
anyone ever done the master cleanse? or any other cleanse? thoughts?

whey isolate
Hello! My trainer advised me to only drink the protein shakes that are "whey isolate" & I am finding most that I find are a mixture of isolate & concentrate. Can anyone suggest/ already uses a strictly isolate that you like? thanks!
-
Fondue pot?
So, my mom got me a fondue pot for Christmas. Immediately after, everyone in the family made fun of her because they knew I would never use it being that cheesey cheese cheese & tubs of chocolate really aren't on my menu very often! She is coming to visit in a couple of weeks & I'm trying to think of some creative/slightly…

recording weight lifting
In a post I made yesterday- asking about protein after weightlifting- someone pointed out that if I'm not doing very heavy weights then I am actually doing cardio. Now, my form of strength training may not be. I will usually just make the rounds of the machines at the gym. Usually like 3 upper body, 2 or 3 lower, 2 or 3…

protein/ cardio
Hello! I know you're supposed to take in protein after a work out, but sometimes I do weights in the morning & cardio after work. I know for sure I need the protein after weight training, but should I do if after cardio on those days when I'm doing both? Don't want to over do it! thank you!
-
pedometers?
So, I am really curious about pedometers. I have "jog tracker" on my phone that estimates my calories when I run (also, with the GPS it tells me exactly the distance I ran. AWESOME app, you just have to bring your phone with you on your run!) Also I would like a more accurate reading for when I do weights & what not at my…

weights vs cardio
which one is more effective in fat burning? I've always been under the impression that cardio was where it's at for women for burning calories, but since I've started with a trainer, realizing how mistaken I've been! But on my at-home-exercising days, I'm kind of limited. So basically, on my non-gym/trainer days would it…

sports bras
What is the best brand/bra for a heavy chested lady? I'm a 34DD & feel like most sports bras lose their support real quick! I'm not opposed to paying a heavier price if it's going to last! Anyone have any brands or bras that you want to rave about?

I had a cookie...
I am down on myself today! At my office we put out cookies for potential residents (I work at a leasing office where apparently the motto is, a fat resident is a happy resident?! haha) and every gosh darn day, those cookies taunt me. And today I caved ...and I had a cookie. And ya know what? For those 160 calories, there's…

I want to eat everything!!
Bah! I want to eat EVERYTHING today! I hurt my calf so I haven't exercised as much as I like in the last couple of days & now I'm realizing how much exercise helps in putting a cap on this empty belly syndrome that I thought was a thing of the past. I had a big breakfast & a good lunch. Now, I'm just gonna gulp some decaf…

How often do you weigh yourself?
