The 10th Day of the Insanity Workout Review
I woke up today not remembering what insanity workout I was supposed to do, as I walked down my stairs and picked up the Insanity Calendar I was a little disappointed, because it was the Plyometrics Cardio Circuit again. Don’t get me wrong, this is a great workout, but it is tough! Near the end of this workout there is a part where you seem like you’re in a push up position forever. You do the level 1 exercise, ski jumps, then in and outs, all in a push up position. Your arms just want to die…at least mine did. This is the workout I did last Saturday, where I think I sweated out every bit of moisture I had in my body. Today I did not sweat as much, probably because I was back downstairs in my living room where its cooler, instead of my bedroom upstairs.
It was a great workout today…for the most part. I did a pretty good job keeping up with the workouts, but I think it might be awhile until I can go through the whole workout without a break. I mean…even Shaun T takes breaks to go check out his workout crew. Sometimes I feel sorry for Shaun T, because he has to talk while he is doing these workouts, sometimes you can tell he is having a hard time trying to breath and talk at the same time. Even though this workout is pretty tough (I actually think it is one of the hardest workouts), I still go through it, even if I was on my knees huffing and puffing when it was all done. Sometimes I am so tired I just want to lay on the ground after the work and do nothing, but I have to do the stretches. It’s weird…I sweat a lot during the workouts, but at the end when I am stretching, it seems like my pores open up to a flood of sweat…It drips down my face all the time, so i am constantly using a towel. Oh well, that probably just means that I worked hard.
To compliment my Insanity workout, I ate steak last night for dinner and then had a slice of bread and some all natural peanut butter. This morning I had a bowl of whole grain cereal for breakfast, then I had a turkey sandwich, with a little mayo, mustard, avocado, and some oregano for seasoning. It was grrrrreat! For my lunch I had a shakeology shake, and I have yet to figure out what I am going to have for mid-dinner and dinner. I need to eat my last steak before it goes bad, so I will definitely have that. I also went over to my parents house again and weighed myself, I have lost two more pounds!! So that makes it 6 pounds all together! Woot woo!
The 9th Day of my Insanity workout review
Today was a great day to workout! I do not know exactly why, but it was. It was time for the pure cardio workout again, you know…the one that has no breaks…it definitely one of the hardest Insanity Workouts. I am starting to feel more and more comfortable with theses workouts, but I am still being challenged, body and mind. Even though I have been able to do more exercises in the Insanity Workout, I still have to force myself mentally to suck it up and do the exercises, especially if it has anything to do with push ups. The hardest part for me, is when I am breathing hard and tired, and then Shaun T drops to the floor to do a series of push ups, I have a hard time getting to that floor. It is something I need to get better at.
The workout went really well today, even though there were no breaks I felt like I was able to keep up more than I did the first time. Although this is one of the hardest workouts to do, it is still one of the funnest workouts to watch, because Shaun T gets in his people’s faces and sometimes tells some people to take a break or sit down. He is kind of like a drill sergeant in this workout. Today the workout I had the most problem with was the level 2 workout, it’s where you squat down, throw your legs back into a push up position, then do 4 push ups, when you are still in a push position, you run for a 4 count, and then stand back up and jump, and then do it all over again for a full minute. It is super exhausting and it comes in the later part of the workout, so your about to DIE anyway. But right now my body feels great, I feel like I can run a couple miles right now and be good. I also started to do some abdominal workouts before I go to bed. Even though I am working out my core with the Insanity Workout, I still want to do some abdominal exercises to see if I can get some great flat abs. Ohhhh and by the way, I went to my parents house to check my weight, and I have lost 4 pounds so far doing the Insanity workout and nutrition plan. So that was SUPER EXCITING!! I was really pumped to see that. I have more energy during the day, and when I want to fall asleep at night I can fall asleep quickly, it has been very nice.
For my mid-lunch yesterday I had a Turkey BLT, which was super good, then for lunch I had a veggie burger. I only had four meals yesterday, but for my mid-dinner/dinner meal I had a Top sirloin prime beef steak. I LOVE STEAK!! I am super happy that steak is on this diet plan. After I ate the steak, which was around 6:30 pm, I was not hungry for the rest of the night. Usually I have to eat something later, but last night I was completely satisfied. Today I again started off with a Shakeology Shake, which is 2 scoops of shakeology, 1 3/4 cups of water, and about the 1 1/2 cups of ice. I love starting my day off with that. I also had a roast beef sandwich today for my mid-lunch.
See you tomorrow!! Get Insanity!
