INSANITY Day 3: Cardio Power and Resistance

After work I headed home to get my INSANITY on! Today is day 3 and I completed Cardio Power and Resistance. Honestly, I did not dread my workout at all. I realized once you get past the warm up and stretching, there's really only about 20 minutes of intense workout, with breaks in between. Also, maybe its because I completed hour long workouts in month two, which were very grueling, but I can seriously handle the intensity of month one. Yes, I still end each workout in a pool of sweat, but I do look forward to these workouts!

INSANITY: Day 2

I did manage to accomplish one of my two goals today. I completed my INSANITY workout. Yes, today was day 2 of month one and today we had Plyometric Cardio Circuit. This workout is 41 minutes long. There's the standard warm up followed by the standard stretching. Once you get through the stretching you have about 20 minutes of actual intense working out. Sean T gives you two sets of circuits which are done three times each. The second circuit is the hardest as they are all level one drills....fierce!
To my surprise I had a lot of energy for this workout. I know I put my all in and my form and reps were great. This could be because I'm already familiar with the workout. All in all, like most INSANITY workouts, the time flew by and before you knew it...I was dripping a pool of my own sweat. Gross, I know.

Did you get your workout in today?

INSANITY...Day 3

Good Morning All,

This morning I woke up at 6:00am, put my Insanity DVD in the DVD player and hit play!!! Oh yes, today Cardio Power and Resistance was completed!! Today's workout was a good 39 minutes of heart pumping, sweat inducing cardio.  As usual, Sean T started off with a fierce "warm up" for 10 minutes and then we moved onto circuits.  Thank goodness the workouts are so fast, it makes time go so much quicker :-)

OK, day 3, done!  57 more to go...

INSANITY: Day 2

Morning Morning,

My day started off bright and early and I completed day 2 of my INSANITY 60 day challenge.  58 more days to go :-)  This morning's workout was the Plyometric Cardio Circuit, an intense 41 minute workout of plyos.  OK, maybe because this is my second time around doing this but I feel this program is all mind over matter.  I've done intense workouts in the past and although this is definitely more fierce, with the right mind set it's not too bad.  Yes, this is a 41 minute workout.  The "warm up" alone is 10 minutes and then you have 25 minutes of circuit training.  Not really bad!  It's also great that you go at your own pace. I do feel I am much slower than the people in the DVD, but Sean T says form is really important.  Even though I am a bit slower, I know I'm getting in good form and making the most of what I do.  The downfall, you are definitely swimming in a pool of your own sweat!  I guess that's good, but  make sure you have a towel with you when working out.  Also, plenty of water!  I downed a whole quart in just 41 minutes.  Trust me, you'll need it.

I'm also really happy that I'm doing the workouts in the morning and getting them out of the way. I can actually use my lunch to eat lunch now :-)  My evening are also less intense now.  I feel if I were to wait for the evening, I would just have too many excuses and not work out.  This way, I know I'm done for the day and finishing the workouts in themselves is a great accomplishment :-)
