Day 22: Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs

Hey everyone!!!

I'm just now getting a chance to write this because I worked all day today on the set of GLEE for 14+ hours.... I got home and did both my workouts, took a shower, cooked some dinner (at 12:30am) and then relaxed a little. Now I'm almost ready for bed and figured I would come on and update for the day.

Because of my long day I wasn't able to do my weigh in or my measurements today but they will be done tomorrow morning before I do my workout, then I will be going to Six Flags with my cousin who's in town from Brazil via San Diego!

Tonight I did the Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs workouts tonight and man, after a LONG day on my feet, it was HARD!! Pure Cardio, as usual made me sweat like crazy but that's what I love about INSANITY!!! I urge myself to sweat more and more and more every workout and push and DIG DEEP! Then Cardio Abs really worked my core and it was tough but when I was all finished, I felt that much better.

Tomorrow should be an interesting morning considering I will be doing a workout only 10 hours after my previous one.... we'll see how it goes! Cardio Power and Resistance, I will wake up and dominate you!

Day 21: Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Oops! I totally forgot to update today but don't worry.... better late then never.

My workout for today was the Plyometric Cardio Circuit and it was AWESOME! I really enjoy this workout because it kicks my ass but when I'm finished I feel GOOD!!!!

Today marks 3 weeks completed of INSANITY! Only 6 more to go!

Day 20: Cardio Power and Resistance

Hey guys!

Just finished my Cardio Power and Resistance workout which was today.... Tomorrow will be my last day of playing catch up for missing workouts on my vacation and instead of taking the day off, I will be doing the Plyometric Cardio Circuit. Then Tuesday will be the first day of my forth week on INSANITY!

Also Tuesday I will be posting my Week 3 Weight In and Week 3 Photo!

At the end of next week will be the end of the first cycle of INSANITY and the fifth week is a recovery week where I'll do six consecutive days of Core Cardio and Balance. I'm excited to try a new workout! After the recovery week, things will definitely get MAXED OUT and I'll start cycling through the MAX INTERVAL CIRCUIT, MAX INTERVAL PLYO and MAX CARDIO CONDITIONING workouts for four more weeks!

Day 19: Cardio Recovery

Okay, so yesterday my errands took way too long and by the time I got home it was too late to do a workout (neighbors and such in my apartment building) so I left it for today. I'm not going to fall behind though because I'm not going to take a day off this week so I'll just plow straight through and by Tuesday (1st day of Week 4) I'll be all caught up!

I just finished the Cardio Recovery. I'm getting a little better every time I do this workout! The thing that kills me is the squats and the lunges; especially when we hold them down for so long before doing the pulses. The burn is ridiculous!

Tomorrow I will have Cardio Power and Resistance again and then instead of having off on Monday, I'll be doing the Plyometric Cardio Circuit! I can't wait!

Day 18: First Workout: Cardio Power and Resistance

Hey everyone!

Just finished my first INSANITY workout for the day: Cardio Power and Resistance!! What a workout!!! I think the more I do INSANITY, the more I sweat! I thought it would be the other way around and that my body would get used to it! NOPE....I sweat more and more everyday and it feels so GOOD!!!!

I'm now taking a break to go run some errands and such but then I will be back tonight to do today's regular workout: Cardio Recovery. It's gonna be a good one!!

That's all for now!

Day 17: Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs

Hey Everyone!

Today I did the regular scheduled day since there were already two workouts in it which were Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. I was tired when I first started because of the double INSANITY workouts I've been doing all week and that it was around 8:15pm; I'm used to doing my workouts earlier in the day. However, once pushing through the warm up and really stretching out my muscles, I had a great Pure Cardio workout!!! Then was time for Cardio Abs, and it was perfect timing considering I got my Beachbody Yoga Mat in the mail today! I also received my P90X Pull Up Bar and my Body Fat tester. Back to Cardio Abs; today was only my second time doing Cardio Abs and it felt awesome. I never thought that my abs could burn that much, and without doing a single sit up!!! It was great!

Tomorrow will be my last day of doubling up workouts and I will be all caught up on all my INSANITY workouts by Day 19!

It's time to Dig DEEPER!!!!

Day 16: Cardio Recovery and Plyometric Cardio Circuit

ALRIGHT!!!!

Just finished my second workout of the day: Plyometric Cardio Circuit. This afternoon I started with Cardio Recovery, INSANITY's "easy day" which left me with my legs shaking from the deep muscle work done during the recovery workout. Then I had a recovery drink, delicious smoothie made from milk, yogurt, peanut butter, protein powder, frozen strawberries and ground flax seed.
Then after an hour long break, I started the Plyometric Cardio Circuit.

My legs were KILLING me at the beginning of the workout. Not painfully, but I just felt them being very tired. Then I remembered that yesterday I did 3 INSANITY workouts. I pushed through to the end of the warm-up and reached a sort of "runner's euphoria" or rather INSANITY EUPHORIA and had the best Plyometric Cardio Circuit yet! I was able to execute more of the workout without taking the breaks I used to before and really really surprised myself! It was awesome!!!

I just ate my post-workout meal, chicken with a lemon, wine and caper sauce over toasted pine nut cous-cous with a protein shake on the side for my overworked muscles! YUM! I feel great and can't wait for tomorrow and to keep pushing! Now it's time for a shower some stretching!

See ya!
