Insanity... 4 weeks in

We are entering our 4th week of the Insanity program. I really do believe that this may be the toughest workout put on DVD as they have advertised. The 5th week will be more of a core/balance week without as much jumping around and during that time we are really going to focus in on our diet. We have been eating a lot better but it's not quite there yet.

The great thing is, WE SEE PROGRESS! Clothes are getting a lot looser and belts are on the last hole. There is still more work to be done. One thing that I did realize is that on the days with a workout and cardio abs, the cardio abs routine doesn't need to be completed right after the regular workout. An adjustment we are making will be to split the two workouts up during the day. Let's face it, after doing a workout like Pure Cardio, you really don't have all the energy you need to push through the entire Cardio Abs workout with good form.

We are looking forward to phase 2!

Labor Day Double Workout

So much for relaxing on Labor Day! This morning, I headed out to Rosaryville State Park and knocked out 8 miles on the mountain bike with the crew. We took it easy but that didn't make the ride any less grueling. We had about an hour and 30 minutes worth of ride time. After a pretty chill afternoon, I popped in the DVD to take care of my Insanity workout... as my luck would have it, today's Insanity workout was "Pure Cardio". I could feel my morning ride during the warmup!! I did manage to push through and finished the entire workout. Now maybe I can relax and enjoy these last few holiday hours. Kelley is about to get her Insanity workout in, the kids and I will watch. :)
