Insanity workout recovery week is here!

Did someone say RECOVERY? When I think of recovery it certainly isn’t what we did in our first Core Cardio and Balance RECOVERY workout… wow! That being said, it sure is a nice “change of pace” anyway!

As usual, I decided to go into this workout blind. Since the beginning (after previewing the first fit test) I decided that I wasn’t going to preview any other workout, I was just going to go for it.  A  So, when I started Core Cardio and Balance last night I was anticipating some stretching, maybe some light exercise, instruction, etc. That’s what I get for thinking! Just as in everything else we do, Core Cardio and Balance fits right into Insanity.

Not that I don’t enjoy them all, but I especially enjoyed last nights workout. I wasn’t huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf trying to flush out the three little pigs, but what we did do offered a different intensity that you could really “feel” working as you moved along…. and it still made you sweat like a “little pig!” ;)

The results I’m seeing at the midway point of Insanity are exceptional. In the last week I’ve really noticed a significant change in definition, especially in my upper arms and legs, as well as conditioning. What I’m able to do on the treadmill now blows my mind and I know that it’s Insanity that has helped me get there.

I would like to offer a special note of thanks to my wife Tami who helped me lift my legs during the final exercises of RECOVERY last night… LOL! “Thanks babe, you’re the best!”

I’m looking forward to P90X and RevAbs after Insanity. P90X is going will be next in my BeachBody journey.

If you are looking for a fitness challenge, the BeachBody programs do the trick… and they are a whole lot of fun, if such a thing can be said about a fitness program.

Have a great day and God bless!

Insanity Workout Day Number 4 Cardio Recovery

I was elated to find out that today was Cardio Recovery. I saw the word recovery on my wall calendar and was thrilled to see that Shaun T was going to take it a little easy on us today. While, granted, we didn’t “kill the wind” (so to speak today), there were times that it felt like my legs were going to burst into flames. I never believed in spontaneous human combustion… but today, I came as close as I’ve ever been.

Words don’t do Insanity, and what it does for you, justice. Just four days down and I’m already noticing a difference in my core and seeing a visual difference in my upper legs and thighs. Insanity is pushing me to do things I wouldn’t do on my own, during a regular workout at the gym, because much of it is stuff I didn’t BELIEVE I could do. It’s amazing what happens when you push through and dig deep. Your body will do much more than you think it will.

I’m really digging the nutrition and diet included with Shaun T’s Insanity. Most of the diet plans my wife and I have tried include menus that are complicated and time consuming. That’s not the case with this. Most of your meals can be prepared quickly and efficiently while delivering quality taste, but more importantly, quality nutrition that is calculated to help you lean out and burn body fat.
