Start the Insanity! (Page 2)

Day 6 BJ!  What day are you taking off?

30 minute walk and Plyo Cardio Circuit.  Tomorrow is OFF!!!  I have a feeling I'll need to sleep in tomorrow. The actual racing starts today so we are going to be working our a$$es off from noon-8pm tonight.  I met some Texans yesterday...it was funny, they asked where I was from (born in Canada, from 6th grade on lived in North Dakota, in Nevada for the past 15 years) and they said 'oh, that explains the accent'.  I just laughed and said 'you're from Texas and I'M the one with the accent?!' They got a good laugh. 

Have a great day!

Good Monday mornin' to ya!

30 min run, Insanity Cardio Power and Resistance DONE! 

Well, Saturday became an "OFF" day.  I made up for it yesterday.

Looking forward to todays workout!

Hello...I've been in a crazy cycle of workouts, back to school stuff, and working out on the salt flats.  I have done all my workouts, however!  Today was Cardio Recovery...yay! 

Hope your workouts have been going well!!!

I hear ya with the "crazy week" stuff!  Back to school - kids come on Monday.

I skipped the Tuesday workout.  Dangit!

Having just started school too, I know how that goes!!!

60 mins on the trainer, Cardio Recovery done for the day!

I just "started the Insanity" this morning.  I took my first Fit Test.  Dang--intense stuff!  I did OK, even compared to the pretty, young, buff people on the video.  But I have a LOT of work to do.

I'll post here about how I do.

Thanks, BJD!

I meant to do my workout last night in my hotel room, but was so tired I crashed at about 8pm.

Did Day 3/week 1, Plyo Cardio Circuit, this morning.

Did Plyo Cardio Circuit Friday and Sunday mornings.  Sunday morning was different--puased the DVD a couple of time, to recover and to take care of my son.

Making a little progress, I think.

Afternoon!

Last night:  Plyometric Cardio Circuit, day 6.

You're right--the soreness is going away.  It's still brutal, though!  Shaun T. can be a monster!

(Am I the only one posting on this thread?  C'mon, Insanity peeps!  Don't leave me hanging!)

Last night:  Insanity Plyo Cardio Circuit.  Killer.  Getting better, though.

On to week 2 next Monday.

Good luck, abrezo!  Let us know how it goes!

Did an Insanity workout this morning after being off--for S/B/R/ST--for a few days.  Nearly did me in, which makes it a good workout--right?

I just finished the program as a little break from SBR.  For anyone who is interested in trying Insanity, here are my observations:

• The workouts are challenging, especially in month 2
• There is a big difference between doing tri training for distance (moderate, steady efforts) and doing short, hard intervals.  It will shock the system
• The program will build strength, especially in the upper body
• It is not a magic calorie burning bullet - I gained weight during the program because I maintained my typical diet; I must burn more calories with my regular tri training
• You will find yourself performing movements and doing things with your body that you didn't know you could do
• If you do a workout in a hotel gym (using a cheat sheet instead of the DVD), you will get some strange looks

Overall, I enjoyed the program and I am glad I did it.  I miss my regular training, though, and I am excited to get back into it.  I found it to be a great off-season break to maintain general fitness and enhance total body condition.
