Insanity Workout Day 59: Max Interval Circuit

December 9, 2010

Today Max Interval Circuit came up on the calendar again which both makes me happy and not at the same time. On one hand I’m not a huge fan of intervals because I don’t like doing exercises that I don’t like 3 times in each workout. On the other hand, this workout has a lot [...]

Insanity Workout Day 58: Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs

December 8, 2010

This has definitely become one of my favorite workouts in Insanity. I love the burn you get from the two workouts combined and I like that it’s not an interval workout. I skipped the crazy jumping parts of the workout again and sprinted during those parts instead. I’m sure someday when I need to play [...]

Insanity Workout Day 57: Max Interval Plyo

December 7, 2010

After having a cheat day on Sunday my great weigh in was blown with a 2 pound weight gain. I assume it’s water retention from drinking alcohol and eating high sodium foods but it’s a gain nonetheless so I needed to work hard today to get back on track. I committed to each exercise and [...]

Insanity End of Week 8 Weigh In

December 6, 2010

With one week of Insanity left, I weighed in at 137.6 today so I had the first drop in weight that I’ve had for a while. This puts me 2.6 pounds away from my goal weight of 135 pounds. I am sure I won’t hit that goal by the end of next week but I [...]

Insanity Workout Day 55: Core Cardio & Balance

December 5, 2010

The last workout of week 8 in Insanity is Core Cardio & Balance, which is the workout you do during your recovery week. While part of me is happy about that because it’s not an extreme workout, another part of me isn’t so happy about it since I’ve already had a recovery day this week [...]

Insanity Workout Day 53: Max Interval Circuit

December 3, 2010

Today I worked my ass off even more than usual during Max Interval Circuit. I always know when I’ve pushed myself to the limit because I get a headache from the workout. That hasn’t happened very often since I’ve gotten in shape. In fact the last time I remember it happening was during Plyometrics towards [...]

Insanity Workout Day 52: Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs

December 2, 2010

Tonight was Max Cardio Conditioning and Cardio Abs which is actually one of my favorite workout combinations. I really enjoy the exercises with punches and kicks in them during the Max Cardio Conditioning portion. And there’s a lot of ab work but not quite as many planks as some of the other workouts. So, in [...]

Insanity Workout Day 51: Max Interval Plyo

December 1, 2010

Okay so I admit I skipped my workout yesterday. I worked 10 hours and had to go to the grocery store at night but had every intention of working out after I was done with my errands. After I got home I realized I had only eaten 1400 calories for the day so even without [...]
