DAY 27: PLYOMETRIC CARDIO CIRCUIT

Last night I did the Plyometric Cardio Circuit. I'm gonna miss this workout. It was the last time that I'll do it for this round of INSANITY because starting on Tuesday, it's my recovery week and then it's on to MAX INTERVAL TRAINING!

As I finish the last day of my first month of INSANITY, it's amazing to think that less than 4 weeks ago, I hadn't even started this program. In just 4 weeks, I was able to gain so much physical endurance; when I first started, I could barely finish the second round of warmups, now I push through 90% of the workouts before I have to take a break.

Excited for more!

DAY 26: PURE CARDIO AND CARDIO ABS

Last night I did the Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs workout. WOW! This workout kicks my ass every single time! Pure Cardio is absolutely nuts and it just does not stop! Once it gets going, it just keeps pushing you to the max until finally you're about to keel over and then you finish it and it's time to cool down. Then, just as you think, "Great, I'm cooling down and I did great on this workout, time to relax after this-" NOPE! It's time for Cardio Abs!

When the warm up starts for Cardio Abs, it's even harder cuz I'm usually still sweating from Pure Cardio. Then you get into the C-Sit position and it's a core shredder until the end. Finally, when you're done stretching from the Cardio Abs workout, you've hit your second wind because you've worked so hard and you can relax and enjoy a recovery drink and update your blog!

Here's to Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs

DAY 25: CARDIO RECOVERY

On Friday, I did my Cardio Recovery workout.

It was hard to hold my deep stretches this week....my legs kept shaking! It felt good when I was finished though and it was good to get the stretches in before my recovery week.

Sorry this entry was late....

DAY 24: PLYOMETRIC CARDIO CIRCUIT

Okay, so I forgot to update yesterday after doing my workout so here is a delayed entry:

Yesterday was day 24 and I did the Plyometric Cardio Circuit! I really really enjoy this workout! It's so good and get's me sweating so much! It's pretty amazing how much has changed in 24 days; from Day 1 when I thought sweating a lot meant I had to wipe up the floor one or twice to keep my sneakers from slipping to now where every 30 second break interval I wipe up the floor.

I'm ready to keep on pushing!!!

DAY 23: Cardio Power and Resistance!

Whooooo!

Just finished my Cardio Power and Resistance workout and I feel great! This workout kicks my ass so good!!! I love it!

I only have 4 more workouts this week and then I'm moving onto my recovery week! Then MAX INTERVAL TRAINING!!!

WEEK 3 WEIGH IN!

Alright everyone!!

Today is my 23rd day of INSANITY meaning that I have been on this program for a little more than 3 weeks. Since I didn't weigh in after week 2 (due to missed workouts while on vacation for 4 days) it has been 2 weeks since my last weigh in.

Here it goes:

Weight: 139 lbs

Waist: 30 in

Chest: 33.5 in

Left Bicep: 12.5 in

Right Bicep: 13 in

Here is my Week 3 Weigh In Picture:

Goal Tracking:

Since my last weigh in I have lost 2 more pounds off the scale, 2 more inches off my waist, another inch off my chest, and half an inch off of each bicep! That makes a total since starting INSANITY of 4 inches of my waits, 1.5 inches off the chest, and half an inch off of each bicep. I've lost a total of 4 lbs off the scale, which is awesome considering the fact that while I've been shredding through body fat, I've also been building muscle... especially in my legs!

I'm excited to finish off the first 4 weeks of workouts and move on to the recovery week and see how my body responds. After the recovery week, it will be time to push it to the MAX with all the MAX INTERVAL TRAINING workouts!!!!

Enough chatting, time for Cardio Power and Resistance!

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!
