Day 6: Week One Completed

Well a lot can be said about Day 6. Today's routine, Cardio Plyometric, was a repeat from Tuesday routine. The first 30 days of Insanity you repeat a series of exercises: Cardio Plyometrics, Cardio Power & Resistance, Cardio Recovery & Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs, followed up with rest day. Every two weeks, on a Monday, the FIT test is performed to see how much improvement has been made. Since the series of routine will be the same for the next 21 days we will not bore you to death with a daily write-up. However, we will post our FIT results as we take them.

Not only was this Day 6, but it was the completion of the first week of Insanity. Tomorrow, Day 7 is a rest day.

Steve and I also did Cardio Abs since we missed it yesterday. Not one old fashion situp or crunch is done on this video, which was really nice.

Finally, it was such a beautiful day out that we decided to also take a run. Steve ran 3 miles, while Sherri came in at a little under two miles, 1.85 miles. Sherri can already tell her Cardio hast vastly improved.

Well that is all for now. Stay tuned...

Day 5: Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs

It's time to face the music - this morning is PURE CARDIO & Cardio Abs. We were a little nervous about today's workout as it appeared to be an intense routine. Let's just say we were not disappointed.

The Pure Cardio routine is very similar to Cardio Plyometrics, which we did on Tuesday. The only thing that seems to be different is that we were not allowed as many breaks. This of course takes maximum intervals to the next level. At times it was difficult, but we are so glad we made it through.

We did not get Cardio Abs done today due to time and other activities, but plan on attacking that segment right after tomorrows routine: Cardio Plyometrics.

DAY 2: Plyometrics & Cardio

Great balls of fire! what an intense workout this morning!! We have done Power90 and P90X, but not a program this extreme and we love it!

The warm-up alone was enough for us to say, "okay, we're done, right". No way! That was just the beginning.

We worked through interval training and drills and exercised until we could do no more. We are already tender all around and not quiet sure how we are going to feel come tomorrow morning.

We will keep you posted....

P90X - Day 2

Day 2 Cardio X
Yesterday we mentioned that Steve did not give his body enough fuel before working out, which caused him to "bonk" or otherwise known as "crashing". This morning Steve had a much better work out and was able to complete the whole routine because he took in enough calories to push his body through the program.

I know his workout had to be good because he made the comment that he can't remember the last time he experienced sweat pouring down his face. The Cardio X routine kept us hopping for 50 minutes and when we were finished - WE FELT GOOD!

Our bodies are a little tender in some areas, but it's nothing Tylenol and a good nights sleep can't handle.

Tomorrow's workout, Shoulders & Arms, and AB Ripper X, should be a real challenge for the both of us. Yikes!
