INSANITY Day 19: Cardio Power and Resistance (Round 4)  <— Video Blog

Ahhhh!! I felt soo good today! It is such a good feeling when you start the INSANITY warm-up and you can just feel the power and energy in your muscles! That is how I felt today. As soon as I started moving, I knew that my Cardio Recovery day yesterday did its job and my muscles were ready to be pushed to the max today!  Today was also a little different because I was doing INSANITY on the go!  I did my workout in a hotel room today as my boyfriend and I are taking the weekend to get away.  I figured, just because I was getting away from the house, that was no excuse to miss out on my workouts. I have worked too hard for almost three weeks now to miss days, even if it means doing INSANITY in a hotel or at a friend’s house!  So, I packed up my DVDs and my laptop, moved some stuff around in my hotel room to give me the necessary space, and DUG DEEP!!  I’m sure the people who had the room beneath me were going crazy as I was doing power jumps and globe jumps and any other kind of jump you can think of, and they may have gotten a little scared when I was grunting through those last 8 pushups at the end!! Haha! 

INSANITY Day 18: Cardio Recovery (Round 3)   <— Video Blog

Whew!! Finally, a bit of a break! I really needed a recovery day today. My body has been so exhausted this whole week! Today was just what the doctor ordered!  After finished Day 18 of INSANITY, I feel much better!  I feel like tomorrow I will have full energy for my workout, and I am really looking forward to it.  My body is still a little tired, but I feel like the stretching today and a good night sleep tonight will have me fully rejuvinated for tomorrow’s workout!  I am still feeling really good about the progress I have seen and am still seeing and can’t wait to see it continue!

INSANITY Day 17: Pure Cardio (Round 4) & Cardio Abs (Round 2)  <— Video  Blog

The word of the day today is EXHAUSTED!!!  My whole body is tired. I can feel the fatigue in my legs and arms.  Even when I’m just walking up the steps, I can feel that my legs are tired.  I am very much looking forward to my recovery day tomorrow.  Although the recovery days are hard, they are not quite as rough on your body as the other days.  Today I felt like my legs were giving out on me.  I pushed as hard as I could, but I know I took more breaks than usual today.  I’m thinking about adding about 100 calories to my diet to see if giving my body a little more fuel will stop the muscle exhaustion.  Some good news, I lost another pound, down to 144lbs.  That’s 8.5 lbs in 16 days, which I am really happy with. My weight loss isn’t on as excelerated a pace as it was in the beginning, but I knew that would slow once I really got into it.  Good luck with your INSANITY journey!  Don’t forget to sign up for your own FREE Beachbody account!  See you tomorrow!
