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 Week 1 Complete, Week 2 Started Today

“… and on the seventh day, Shaun rested!” Insanity 1:1

LOL! Wow, I just finished my day number 8 workout (after a much appreciated day of rest yesterday… thanks Shaun!) and I’m amazed how far I have come in a week.

I’m seeing results in my legs, arms and stomach (which is really cool!) but, more impressively, I’m noticing a significant increase in endurance along the ability to perform and execute the exercises with the precision that Shaun teaches them.

I’m not the most coordinated guy on the planet (spare tire doesn’t help), but when I can balance on one leg without feeling like the Leaning Tower Of Pisa it’s encouraging! My Heisman is looking more like a Heisman and less like the Private Pile it was on day 2 plus I can do more reps correctly throughout the workout.

I still can’t do the push ups on the floor yet (Dr. says not ready for that) so I’m doing them inclined on a chair and I’m still getting great results. I’m hoping there will be enough new muscle formed in my chest, in the next few weeks, to where I can do the push ups on the floor.

Even a 39 year old, former fat guy, heart valve recipient (when I put my MIND to it) can do Insanity. Don’t make excuses… take action and do something that will change the course of your life. It doesn’t have to be Insanity necessarily, but something that is going to transform your body and your mind and take you to places you didn’t THINK were possible.

The only one stopping your from doing what needs to be done is you! Anything you wish to achieve in life can be reached through faith!
