Week 4 into Insanity. I didn't think I would be a fan of a workout video but it is like the title says and makes you sweat like nothing else..

What's Insanity?!

A workout program-60 days with lots of pliometrics, HIT training and body weight strength conditioning. It runs in the same genre as P90x, and is very effective. Did it last year...

Sounds interesting. I'm thinking of setting up some kind of a work out area in my garage. How did you like it? Did you need much for it?

I think the fact that it doesn't take alot of setup/gear is what I liked most. The kids have violin, guitar, swimming, voice, gymnastics, jazz, and riding lessons going on at any given time. Add in my hospital work schedule and a very needy Great Dane, (and an oilfield hubby who works hard to support our many expensive endeavors) and my workout schedule takes last place... Signing up for a gym class on a schedule is pretty much out, and driving to one more place when all I ever do is drive does not appeal to me. So I like to find really intense routines that take as little time, equipment, setup and space as possible and can be done in my house...

Insanity starts with a fitness test that you repeat throughout the 60 days to gauge progress. Basically you compete against your own personal best, so it pushes you each and every workout. It certainly is not for beginners, but you will be great with it!

I have it set up in my garage. No weights required. All I use is an old peice of carpet to jump around on.

ok ..I am out then.

PuZy!!!!!

For anyone that wants a crazy intense work out. Try this...

x 5 NO breaks except when you complete one round then you get a 3- 5 minute rest. I usually take 1:30 or so then I feel able to continue on. I have bad asthma so I always keep my inhaler close for this one. And always ensure to take a puff before I even start.

1.) Assisted Chin up x 20 (100 total)
2.) 20 push up's (100 total)
3.) 40 walking lunges (200 total)
4.) 200 skipping revolutions (1000 total)
5.) 20 hip raises (100 total)
6.) 40 mountain climbers on ball (200 total)

If you want to amp it up you just increase the amounts of the individual exercises and decrease the number of sets. You just want to ensure you get the totals I have listed beside and you can make it as intense as you want or not. I've only ever gotten to 4 sets instead of 5...I blame my asthma lol

I bet I wouldn't make it thru the 2nd round.... Ugh.... I did however, walk to my eye doctor appointment today... Perhaps somewhat a step in the right direction... Lol

 

[mxz sledhead]

my work out is wax on wax off polishing my sled just finishing 5 months of baseball playing on 2 teams 2 nights a week plus weekends thats a enough of a work out for me

that is a step in the right direction. And now you have a bike, I bike ride every day after work and you are welcome to join. I live not far from your work!

 

[trench]

That sure sounds like a lot of work, just to get ready for sledding? Maybe you should save your money and buy a new Pro ride, then you won't need to do all that stuff to ride like a champ!!!

lmao
iv somewhat tried that. I think i'd hafta go to rowdys workout to get through the learning curve to ride one of those babies. Last time I tried it, i ended up sitting on top of the track and then scrambling as it rolled down a thankfully small hill. Or trying to downhill carve, I was always picking it back up bc it would flop over so quick I didn't have the balance point. I was beaten by the end of the day and I only tried it for about 20min.

I will attempt it again this season though! Here's hoping I have further developed my technical skills that it doesnt make a circus out of me again lol I think this time I'll take it for the day so I have no choice but to battle it out.

Well...I ordered it today. See how it is when it comes in. I'm excited to do some working out at home actually. Now that my garage is all nice, and I have a TV and stuff in there it should be ok. Thanks for the motivation.
