Insanity Day 13 - Pure Cardio/Insane Abs

Here we are on Day 13...I think I got my days screwed up somewhere lmao!! But who cares I am right on track!!

Ok so today was Pure Cardio and then supposed to be Cardio Abs after. Seeing I have the add-ons to Insanity I did Insane Abs instead...just WOW! I had to stop over and over because my core is weaker than I thought and my lower back started to hurt.

I have a herniated disk, bulging disk, and arthritis in both my hips (they pop doing some moves) but I am very careful on form as to not hurt myself. Shaun T is big on slowing down and following correct form which in my first round I didn't pay attention to...I paid the price with very sore knees!

So here we are ready to move on into a new week on Monday and into the 3rd week! I am so excited to be doing this and sharing it with everyone because it really is forcing me to be accountable to the program and to all of you!

Tomorrow is a REST day and this is going to be very hard for me. I am not one to lay back and relax but the last couple days I have gotten 9 hrs of sleep (wow did it feel good too) and I plan on just doing some cleaning and studying tomorrow. I may or may not blog tomorrow but you will just have to check and see :)

Until we meet again (monday for sure) have a wonderful and amazing weekend! I have included the Beachbody Challenge link below...want to get super fit? It ALL starts with the Challenge, it's how I got started and lost 70 lbs in 6 months... NO JOKE!! Are you ready? Also P90X and P90X2 are on sale until end of March...great way to get started! I started with P90X.

Insanity Day 11 - Cardio Power and Resistance

Insanity Day 11!!

Today was a very good learning day for me!! I found out that you do NOT use stimulants will doing a program like Insanity!

I will make this short and sweet...I used NOS powder an hour before I did this workout...dumbest thing I could do!!

Here is the workout section I was doing before I had to lay down to not pass out!
>> Insanity Cardio Power and Stimulants.

So to make a long story short..if you can't breath, want to throw up, and then get tunnel vision...it's time to lay on the floor with your feet up!!!

See you tomorrow for a SERIOUS workout!!!

Third times a charm?

Ok.. so almost done Les Mills Combat and got good results but I am an Insanity Fan at heart... :-) something about the pure adrenaline rush you get when you can't breath and wanna puke lol.

I have decided to go all out and focus directly on Insanity for the next 180 days. I am going to do a new round of Insanity (I did my first round like 6 months ago and lost 18 lbs and got body fat down to around 11%. I was at 154 lbs and have since gained back around 12lbs. (Coming from 220lbs only 6 months before that.  Thank you Tony and P90X!)

The plan of attack is: Insanity-60 day cycle, Insanity Asylum-30 day cycle, Asylum 2-30 day cycle, then the kicker. ..The "Trifecta"! Which is a 60 day cycle of all three Insanity programs together bringing me to 180 days. 

I will be Vblogging and/or blogging my journey along the way. Yes I am a CPT and Beachbody Coach and would love to help you if you need me too....I am attempting this 180 days on a personal quest of self worth...to prove to me and me alone that at 43 years old, ex smoker, ex drinker,  and single father..that when you set your mind on a goal....that ANYTHING is possible!!

If you wish to...I would be glad to help you. .come join a Challenge Group and lets make the impossible come true!!
