Insanity Re-Start

It’s Mid September, and although I’ve been staying firm at 195 pounds (I started at 206) I have not had much time to do Insanity. I’m getting back into it and going for broke here.  The first round helped me get back in shape, if only a bit – but I didn’t complete the program.  [...]

Max Plyo Circuit – Don’t do it

So after a hiatus from Insanity, I tried the Max Plyo Circuit.  Let me just say that I turned this off with 20 minutes remaining for many reasons.  One, I was not ready for what Shaun T had today.  Two, I had a few weeks off and didn’t expect such a difficult workout.  Three, this [...]

Insanity Again: Pure Cardio

So as mentioned, I took a brief hiatus from Insanity, because of two reasons I wrote about in past posts.  I suggest you read them if you really care about how I got off track.
Today, I continued my quest to get back on track, by doing the Pure Cardio workout.  I should say, [...]

Where Have I Been?

If you follow my Insanity blog on a regular basis, you probably have wondered where I have been.  Well, the answer is two-fold.  One, I embarked on a 2.5 week trip to Minnesota, to visit my parents.  While that wasn’t an excuse to stop doing Insanity, I will show you in my next entry exactly [...]

Yet Another Day of Plyometric Cardio Circuit

I have to vote this workout the hardest…..even harder than PURE cardio.  I think it’s the wear and tear on the entire body, due to the inverted push-ups.  It really does wear out the shoulders.  Anyways, another workout in the books, looking forward to a recovery day tomorrow!  I seriously am looking forward to getting [...]

Week Four of Insanity

Today I have “pure cardio” along with the “cardio abs” portion of the Insanity Circuit by Shaun T.  For those of you who have not “met” Shaun T, I figured it would be good to post a photo of the man, the myth, the legend.  Well, here is Shaun T.
He looks a little bit like [...]

19th Day of Insanity

So I’m at day 19 of Insanity, the workout……and so far I can say I have not sweat this much since I played a full 90 minute soccer game, all spa and steam room visits aside, of course.  The insanity workout by Shaun T and Teach Beach Body is the ultimate method of losing weight, [...]

Cardio Recovery: This Bores Me

I should never talk bad about the Insanity workouts by Shaun T, but seriously, it’s hard to get up for the cardio recovery day. I  mean, you basically know you are going to do nothing but stretch at this point, and it makes it quite tedious to keep on doing it just to make another [...]

Not Letting Injuries Slow me Down!

So I sat, stewed, and became downright pissed off when I thought about what taking a day off would do to my rhythm.  After thinking of options of things I could do to replace the workout, I came up with a conclusion. I  basically did “pure cardio” yesterday during my hour plus roller blade romp.  [...]
