Day 30: PLYOMETRICS

Today's workout was Plyometrics! I forgot how much this workout works my legs! WOW! It's amazing how much diffrence 2 weeks off makes.

I had a great workout today. I feel like this week is going to be the hardest because I'm getting back into a routine but once my body adapts, it'll become easier.

Not much more to say.

See y'all tomorrow

Day 29: CARDIO X; CHEST, SHOULDERS AND TRICEPS; AB RIPPER X

What a day to get back into doing P90X.

Today I started my day with CARDIO X which was awesome! A perfect way to get the blood pumping in the morning. I hadn't done this workout since Louisiana!

Then I had my day of errands, auditions and moving which included heavy shelves and lots of books!

Finally when I was finished with that, I started my PM workouts for the day - CHEST, SHOULDERS AND TRICEPS and AB RIPPER X at 10:45pm. CHEST, SHOULDERS AND TRICEPS is a killer workout. Man is my upper body tired!! Crazy! I never thought I could do a one-armed push up, let alone 6! AFter 30 minutes of lifting!!!

Then came AB RIPPER X, a golden oldie that will always get my sweating and begging for mercy!

That's all for today! See you after PLYOMETRICS tomorrow!

BACK ON TRACK! Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse = PERFECT KICKSTART!

Okay, so after a 2 - 3 week break, I am ready to get back on track!

One of my best friends from college came to visit me here in LA and we spent a week partying like we were in college again...needless to say I didn't have much time for my workouts and kind of decided to give my body a little break.

Last week I noticed that I was very lazy and was dreading getting back on my routine so I decided to kick start my return by doing the Shakeology 3 Day Cleanse from this past Friday to Sunday (yesterday). It definitely helped reset my body and get it back on track for getting back on my workout routine.

I decided to pick up with Phase 2 of P90X - Double Days. This means that tomorrrow, Tuesday, will be Day 29 of P90X, the first day of Phase 2.

Even though I took my little break, my body kept mostly at the same weight! Before I started my cleanse this weekend, I was at 137 lbs, 3 lbs heavier than when I finished INSANITY. After my cleanse, I am now the lightest I have been in over 4 years: 128 lbs!!!

I am ready to keep pushing for PHASE 2 of P90X - Double Days!

BRING IT!

DAY 15: CHEST AND BACK and AB RIPPER X

Yesterday was the beginning of my third week doing P90X. The first workout for the yesterday was CHEST AND BACK. This one is a great resistance workout! It's push ups and pull ups for nearly an hour! It was great! I pushed hard and by the end of the workout I felt as if my chest was about to explode with how "pumped" they were.

After that it was time for AB RIPPER X, my favorite ab routine of all time. I LOVE THIS WORKOUT. I would do it everyday if it wouldn't overtrain me.

Anyways, that's it for yesterday!

DAY 14: OFF

Two days ago was my off day for P90X. I decided to take a personal day and just relax at home with my pets and some friends. Back to work tomorrow!

DAY 13: KEMPO X

Hey everyone,

Yesterday was the first day without an INSANITY workout! It's crazy! I got up and it felt so weird to not jump into an INSANITY DVD.

Anyways, when it was time to workout, it was time for KEMPO X, one of my favorite P90X workouts! HOwever, I had to leave for a rehearsal an hour and five minutes after I pushed play on my DVD. I knew that if I didn't do the workout then, I wouldn't be able to because I had rehearsal, then a workshop, then a dinner and going out with friends.

I decided to do INSANE KEMPO X! Since I was pressed for time, I decided to kick it up a notch and see how much of the workout I could do if I just pushed myself to the max like in INSANITY but with KEMPO X. I warmed up the regular way but when it came time to start the exercises, I did them as fast as I could but still with good form. Then instead of taking the 90 - 120 second breaks in between exercises, I just did 15 seconds of ballistic stretching then kept on pushing. I shaved 17 minutes off of the workout. Then I hopped in the shower and was out in time to leave 3 minutes early!

POST INSANITY WEIGH IN!!!

I did it! I finished INSANITY!!! I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe it's over! What an amazing 9 weeks and wow has my body been through some INSANE workouts!

Check out my transformation:

BEFORE:
















AFTER:


63 days is all it takes to transform your body with INSANITY!!

Here is my POST-INSANITY weigh in information:

Weight: 133 lbs
Waist: 28 in
Chest: 33 in
Left Bicep: 12 in
Right Bicep: 12.5 in
Body Fat: 10%

Since my last weigh in, which was in Week 6, I have lost 4 more pounds of weight. I also shaved another inch off of my waist. My chest stayed the same but my arms got more toned too... My left arm stayed the same but my right arms lost another inch. As far as my body fat percentage goes, I started checking it around week 4 and then it was at 16% Now, 5 weeks later, it's at 10%!

This just goes to show that you can do anything that you put your mind to. INSANITY is a cardio packed program that is probably the hardest workout program you've ever done. It's going to hurt and burn and you're going to push yourself like never before but in the end, you come out of it a stronger person who has worked hard to achieve their goal!
