Insanity Reset

Before goin' back to working out and starting where I left off (start of Month 2), I thought of resetting Insanity back to Day 1. What?! Well, you read the title right! I know, I know! I'm goin' to the more intense part, Month 2 but chickened out? My answer is no. My reason is simply because I have been in a "plateau" for a week or 2 after my knee felt sore from working out (I think it was due to bad cushioning of landing from jumping back down too hard). It wouldn't feel right seeing the 30-day guarantee but I keep on extending the days because...

Workout Resumed!

If you have read my previous post, "Workout Postponed," I postponed my workout to INSANITY because our PC monitor died. And after 5 days, we finally got a new monitor and replaced our dead CRT monitor with a widescreen LED monitor! Here I am testing it out, so crisp and clear! I'm excited to start my Week 2 right about now! I'm back and ready to dig de...

Workout Postponed!

Today was supposed to be Day 8 of my workout, the start of my Week 2. Unfortunately, I have bad news for me! Our PC monitor is busted! I won't be able to workout to INSANITY! As of today, I have no choice but to postpone my workout program 'til I don't know when, but I hope it's soon! As of the moment, I'm typing this on my brother's phone just so I could update on what's happening. Like I said, daily basis. I guess this means I'll be having a gap due to a technical problem. But once we do something about our PC monitor, I'll jump back in to where...

Day 7 - Off

1st Rest Day! I can say now that I actually survived my 1st week of INSANITY! Still adjusting to the workout routine especially the push-ups! My core isn't too strong yet to do numerous push-ups but I'm trying! I'm happy I pulled through the 1st week and didn't give up. And here I end my 1st week. Tomorrow starts week 2. Let's do th...

Day 6 - Plyometric Cardio Circuit

2nd time to do Plyometric Cardio Circuit. This workout was also done on Day 2. And Day 2 I could've even finish half of the level 1 drills, ski abs, and in and out abs. But, I pushed myself to finish the workout. Just like Shaun T says, "It doesn't matter how many you make, as long as you don't lose your for...

Day 5 - Pure Cardio

When Shaun T meant Pure Cardio, it was pure! Pure sweat and my body felt like it was gonna tear down because of the nonstop workout! I can feel my heart rate pump up and my whole body ache throughout the workout, while trying to get my breathing going! No water breaks in between the actual workout but you can rest and drink water when needed. That's what I did, then continued to finish the workout. I made a puddle of sweat on the floor doing this workout. See how insane this is? And I'm holding on week 1. My body needs to heal fa...

Day 4 - Cardio Recovery

Cardio Recovery was Day 4 of my workout. My body still aches from Day 1, plus I don't take any form of Recovery Formula to let my body heal faster. Anyone has tips on alternatives for a Recovery Drink or Food after working out? So it doesn't feel much like a recovery but it was easier to work out to compared to my previous 3 days of INSANITY. My friend was right, the leg lunges pretty much burned I had to rest in between lunges! Good thing with added stretchings for a recovery, it made the workout a little bit relaxing with control &...

Day 3 - Cardio Power & Resistance

Day 3 was Cardio Power & Resistance workout. Body aches all over and I'm only on my 3rd day! I don't drink any Recovery Formula due to a tight budget. Anyway, about the workout, I had to rest a lot when it came to the jumps and push-ups. My knees and thighs were tight it felt like it was being twisted (almost like good exercise after-cramps) preventing me from doing higher jumps in the hurdle and log jumps. Plus the push-ups! I never was good at doing push-ups. But thanks to Shaun T teaching the proper position and way of doing push-ups made...

Day 2 - Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Completed Day 2 (Plyometric Cardio Circuit)! I had to rest a lot especially on the push-ups and basketball drills. My legs were shaking the time I did the last 2 sets. There is a 30-seconds break per set. Take it! It's a must to wipe off your sweat and replenish with drinking water! My sweat was literally dripping onto the floor while working out! And I'm only on my 2nd day! Trying to improvise my diet since I'm not in charge of what to eat most he...

Day 1 - Dig Deeper & Fit Test #1

The 1st day of my curiosity & finally the commitment to try out Beachbody Shaun T's Insanity. Watched the Dig Deeper video where Shaun T, the creator of Insanity, introduces you to the workout program, telling you what the workout will bring you and some tips to work out more efficiently before going to start Day 1, which is the Fit Test. Before the Fit Test, the first thing to do is to get all the baseline information needed, such as weight, BMI, and body measurements (arms, thighs, waist, etc.) Here are my 1st day baseline information: Height...
