Plyometric Cardio Circuit - (Burn fat with intervals of intense lower-body plyo and sweat-inducing cardio).

Today was great, ive not had much trouble at all with motivation, ive been ready to go! Hoping it stays that way too though! This was my second attempt at this particular workout and it was just as tough as the first time but i think i was better at it. I was able to push myself more than the first round for sure. So far, i definitely think i like this more than P90X. Its a perfect challenge for me! I cant wait to gain strength and start seeing a difference in my body as well but i realize that will be a few more weeks.

Pure Cardio- (Skip the intervals is is a non stop workout).

Great workout, pretty intense being that it was non stop, was kind of afraid of it but it was good. I am trying to figure out more things that i can eat and what i can do to lessen my fat intake, i know i need some but next week i want to try and do better. Perhaps more fruit amd always more veggies.

Cardio Recovery - (Shaun T goes easier on you once a week so you're ready for the next Insanity Workout round).

Today was exactly what I needed, I was even more sore and was hoping the "recovery" meaant what I thought it would - stretch and a slower workout. It was a great recovery. I actually got up when my alarm went off, came downstairs and jumped right in. Some of the workout was still pretty rough but I got a chance to stretch out my hip flexers and legs quite a bit. Still have some tight calves and feeling like tomorrow will hit me hard but we will see.

Cardio Power and Resistance - (Build lean muscle and upper-body definition with strength-training and insanity workout power moves).

I loved todays workout, it was definitely a challenge but I somehow felt even more energized to rock my workout. My calves were pretty much screaming - no exaggeration to the word - and my back was very sore as well but once i warmed up they felt better during the workout at least. Perfect number of breaks for the workout and there was enough switch between upper and lower body that I was able to keep going and even surprised myself a little.

Plyometric Cardio Circuit - (Burn fat with intervals of intense lower-body plyo and sweat-inducing cardio).

Starting off thinking that most of the "warm up" was a part of the actual workout and finding out I was wrong was a good surprise. I was a bit sore from the fit test but not too bad. It was a very intense workout but I felt great afterwards! Paused a few times to try and breath but I felt there were enough breaks already placed throughout the workout for water and to check my heart rate. I understand why this program works, thats for sure.

Day One: The Fit Test

Todays Nutrition Summary

Fat g- 38
Carbs g- 105
Net Carbs g -69
Protein g- 72
Sodium g- 1238
Fiber g- 21
Sugar g- 8

Fit Test #1 ( There will be 5 "Fit Tests" in which I will post results )

Switch Kicks: 85
Power Jacks: 39
Power Knees: 68
Power Jumps: 30
Globe Jumps: 6
Suicide Jumps: 16
Push-up Jacks: 18
Low Plank Oblique: 55

I definitely made sure I had food in my system before I started this first day but I still didnt feel well. My back hurt, from sleeping I guess, and i needed just a little more time between when I ate and when I started my test. Now I know.

The fit test scared me a little, cant lie. Im a fit person as is and I knew I should expect a pretty intense program but sheesh! Needless to say I needed to memtally prepare myself a little more than I originally had.

Insanity - 01.01.12 - 01.02.12

Hey everyone! Thanks for stopping by my site! As of today I am going to be blogging about my experience through the Insanity workout program developed by Shaun T! It is a 63 day program where you train 6 days a week. My first post will be my pre- insanity and thereafter will be each day.

Now, I am doing the workout plus a pretty extreme diet that I wanted to start this year as well, wheather its right or not, I dont know, so dont judge me. I am planning to start doing bikini competitions maybe this summer or just when I feel I am ready. Many of my friends also know that Im not a large person or needing to lose any weight, but they like to freak out when I say "I'm on a diet." Well, to be frank, I dont care what you think, I know my body and I know that I want to be healthy and physically in shape. In this case, with doing Insanity, in the best shape of my life. Because I am already a fairly fit person when it comes to the average American, these goals are going to be hard enough to accomplish and will take an emense amount of work, so please, only encouragement is welcome.

I started my New Year off with a 2 day short detox where I only drank water and juices, I like to start clean or at least feel like I am. And let me tell you, by day two, I already felt I was losing motivation. ( This is normal, people) The thoughts had already started, " I can just wait, maybe start this in just enough time to be fit by swimsuit season," and "Well I really dont need to change anything, I look fine how I am and who cares about my body fat percentage other than myself?" Buuut here's the deal. Ultimately, my goals are One: To become even more disciplined - to conquer food. If you can do that, you can discipline yourself in anything (my opinion anyways because I reeeally like food). Two: To lose 10-12% body fat. Did you know that you have to burn 3,500 calories to burn off 1 lbs of fat? Interesting...or Gross!

My plan for these 63 days is to keep YOU informed, hopefully inspired to better yourself as well, and ME organized and dedicated.

As of the first of the year I swore off soda, and diet soda unless its in an alcoholic beverage (which are limited), fried foods, sweets, bread, pasta, and white rice. Im trying to keep low net carbs, low fat, and low sugars with high protein and fiber.
