Insanity Workout Review – Day 16 – Cardio Circuit
Wow I can’t believe I’m over half way done with the first month of the Insanity Workout. Even though that is good news, I still have 44 days left to my Insanity workout. I really struggled today to motivate myself to workout today, even through the warm ups I really had a hard time wanting to do the workout. But I forced myself to do it and by the time the workouts came around I was ready to go for it. Today was the Cardio Circuit, which for me is probably the hardest workout, it is the one I struggle with the most. The part I struggle with the most is doing the level one drills, ski jumps, and in and outs, all of these workouts are done in a plank position (push-up position) and are back to back to back. Even though I struggled I still go through the workout and worked hard, I tried getting my knees higher in the workouts and tried getting deeper in my squats.
I went to go weigh myself today, and I am still at 200 pounds, so the weight loss count is still at 6 lbs. I blame it mostly because of my, eating because recently I have struggled giving into temptations like a Cheeseburger and fries at the Mariners game, some popcorn with butter last night. I need to get back on track. It’s hard to stick with the diet because all of the working out is making me more hungry, so when I get hungry…I get REALLY hungry.
Insanity Workout Nutrition Plan – Today I have had a bowl of cereal with flax seed and non-fat milk, then I had a slice of whole wheat bread with ll natural peanut butter. I am right now thawing some elk hamburger, so I can make some whole wheat burritos tonight. I am also going to have a turkey burger and some shrimp for lunch. Hopefully by the end of the week I can have some more weight loss results, if I don’t…I am going to have a hard time staying motivated.

Insanity Workout Review Day 15 – Fit Test
It has been two weeks since starting the Shaun T insanity workout, ao today I got to do the fit test all over again. Remember…this was the fit test that I threw up on…yeah, I didn’t forget. I am kind of bummed because I lost the paper that I marked down all my Fit Test results from the first time. So I guess I will just record my progress from my second fit test and on. Technically I got through all the workouts without throwing up, so that was a plus, and I was able to do all the workouts, so that was another plus.
Here are my results today:
Switch Kicks: 110
Power Jacks: 50
Power Knees: 70
Power Jumps: 30
Globe Jumps: 9 (there are four jumps for each rotation so that = 36 jumps)
Sucicde Jumps: 16
Push-up Jacks: 17
Low Plank Oblique: 40
So I felt like I did pretty good today, hopefully I can improve a lot more by the end of my 60 day Insanity Workout.
Insanity Workout Review Day 13
It’s Saturday afternoon, and I have already done my Shaun T Insanity workout, I was super surprised and excited when I woke up this morning because I sleep for nine and a half hours, which is absolutley in credible for me. I usually get around seven and a half hours asleep and I hardly ever sleep in in, but it felt great. However, I was nervous about the workout today, because not only was I supposed to do the Pure Cardio (the workout with no breaks), I was also supposed to day a 20 minute ab workout afterwards. If doing pure cardio isn’t already crazy enough…lets detroy your abs in the process too!
Anyway, I got through the first Insanity workout (pure cardio), again, trying to push myself more and more. I do admit I had a hard time this morning getting through this workout, but I got through it and I worked hard. So after about a 40 minute video of working out, I then prepared myslef mentally for the ab workout routine. The Insanity workout guide said that the workout session was 20 minutes long, but it is really only about 16 minutes and 30 seconds long, so that was nice to to find out. The reason I get nervous with ab routines, is because…story time…when I was younger I played on my city’s football team, and my first game my ass got knocked back like five yards (little exaggeration). As I was flying through the air, I suddenly realized that I was about to be in a lot of pain. I landed right on my tailbone and I bruised it badly, I was out for five weeks after that. But the problem is…it still bothers me today, anytime I do ab routines where I have to sit on my butt or lean back a little bit, it is hurts a lot. So I was hoping there wasn’t any sit down ab workouts in this routine…but there was. I had a hard time doing that part of the workout, but once I got into the plak positions, it felt a lot better, it really is a great workout.
Insanity Workout Nutrition: I did not do the greastest on my Insanity diet last night, I went to PF Changs for one of my best friends birthday parties. I ordered what I thought was fried brown rice with shrimp, but later found out that it was white rice with shrimp. So that was a bummer. Other than that I have been doing pretty good.
Day 12 of My Insanity Workout Review
So I had to start a little later than normal on my Insanity workout today, but I started and finished the workout. Today’s Insanity workout was the Power cardio and resistance disc. I really tried pushing myself harder in this workout today, because I want to see great results…I HAVE to see great results. So today I tried getting higher in my jumps and deeper in my squats, plus I tried to do more push ups…I was pretty beat by the end.
By body feels great, my family and friends can already see a difference in my weight, so that helps to know that people can recognize the weight loss. I do not know if I have lost anymore weight since I last checked, I was at 6 pounds lighter. If I just keep working out and keep sticking to my diet, things are going to be just fine. My body has felt great over the past week, and even though I was super tired after the workout this morning, right now…I fell like I can go biking, hiking, or running. The soreness is gone, and I have been getting good sleep. I do have a hug knot by my right shoulder blade that has been bothering me, especially after push ups or stretching, I might need to go get that massaged out, it has been causing me a lot of pain. I think I need a new mattress.
Insanity Workout Nutrition: I have been doing pretty darn good with my nutrition, my only downfall yesterday was some chicken with the skin…whoops! I can have chicken, but it needs to be without the skin…but I love the skin…it’s where all the flava is! Today I had a bowl of cereal with non-fat milk, then for my mid-lunch I had all natural peanut putter on whole wheat bread with sliced bananas on top, it was AMAZING!! Tonight I am going to PF Changs for a friends birthday, so I am going to try to stick to the diet, I will probably have some lettuce wraps. Alright see you tomorrow. Get insanity!
Day 11: Insanity workout review
Wow I can’t believe that I have already been doing the Insanity workout review for 11 days, it seems to be going bye pretty fast and It feels good to get the “day” count into the double digits. But I still have a long way to go, I was recently talking to some people who have done the Insanity workout, and they told me to enjoy the first 30 days because the last 30 days are way harder. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!! They might as well have told me to end my life now, because you are going to die anyway! I seriously can’t imagine how this workout is going to get harder…I mean I assumed it would get more difficult, but the way they were talking about it, seemed to give me no hope. The only thing I can do is to make sure I get everything out of the first 30 days, so I can get in the best shape before the last 30 days of MY LIFE!! That is the last time I will talk with people who have done the Insanity workout ever again…Thanks!
Today was the easiest workout, it was the recovery circuit, so I go to take it nice and slow….umm yeah…nice and slow with someone lighting a fire in my thighs!! Even though this workout feels great afterwards, it is still a difficult workout to get through without giving your legs a break. There are a lot of slow squats and lunges, there times when you have to deeply hold your squats or lunges, then there are times when you have to pulsate deep in the squat and lunge position. Your legs are “en fuego’” that is spanish for “on fire”. I learned that on the Dora the Explorer. Okay, back to the Shaun T Insanity workout. This workout session is kind of funny to watch sometimes, because you can tell Shaun T is just dying to bust into a dance move, he wants to relive his Hip Hop Abs and Rockin Body days, but he keeps it under control. There are some great stretches in this workout, mainly taken from Yoga, there are even some balance poses.
I ate pretty well yesterday, however I did not get to eat my steak. I did have a couple of turkey sandwiches and some fruit, inculding an apple and some strawberries. I even had a shakeology shake with some mixed berries, it was delicious. Today I had a bowl of kashi cereal, and have yet to have anything else yet.
See you tomorrow! (if anybody is even reading this)
