#insanity

Last week I basically missed the entire week of insanity with the exception of a few days.  SO I decided I need to to the last two weeks instead of this being the last week.  I didn’t go without a workout last week as I taught turbo kick twice and did that workout through the week, but this is my Insanity cycle and I need to finish it.

My shoulders and collar bones are sore and I don’t know why.  doing moving pushups was a choir but I forced myself to complete a memorial day workout AFTER the bbq this afternoon with friends.  I NEEDED this workout.  Sometimes the body needs that jumpstart to reactivate the muscles and Insanity is a jumpstart

Tomorrow is tripple duty as I have Insanity, teach turbo kick and I start my Marathon running.  3 miles…not bad and I don’t expect it to be difficult, just extra calories going out so I need to make sure to eat enough.

Keep pushing play.  Summer has unofficially started and I’m ready.   Beachbody summit in 3 weeks, Warrior dash in 4 weeks and a summer of running and turbo ahead of me.  Lets enjoy the warm weather and stay active.

Last night I taught turbo-kick.  I got up this morning and started to do Insanity and decided it would be smarter to do yoga.  40 Minutes of Stretch with Chalene follow by cardio abs and i’m feeling pretty good.

Life is starting to get busy and I’m glad I have a daily workout routine to provide some stability in my days.

I was exhausted by the time we got to the last two rounds of the last circuit.  I think  I may have a slight cold becu

That’s it.  Insanity Day 49 done.

I got to the workout today and it’s Cardio Balance and Power?!  That’s the workout I did for a “recovery” week.  OMG, Shaun T has run out of ways to torture me!  Only this workout was surprisingly difficult all be it doable.

my core is stronger, my balance is better.  The next two weeks of Insanity are going to be kicked up to beast mode and I need to start thinking about my next workout.  I have to start running SOON so i’m thinking of doing Insanity: Asylum in June along with running.  After that I’ll do Turbo-fire and run for the rest of the summer/early fall.  Sounds like a plan.

I worked on Turbo-kick round 50 today after insanity.  I’m going to teach it in class on Tuesday and Thursday next week so i’m getting the routine and cue’s down.  

This is going to be a fun one

The biggest thing I love about the insanity workouts is that even when the engine doesn’t feel like it wants to get moving, if you just push a little and go through the paces, by the end of the workout you’re fully engaged in it.  Today was a double whammy as I had to do cardio abs as well.

Nutrition is becoming more and more important as my fitness progresses and I am so thankful that I learned about Shakeology last year.  There are other products out there that are similar and a little cheaper but you get what you pay for and I have had no negative results with Shakeology.  The entire beachbody family of products has been amazing for me on my journey.  The workouts inspire and deliver on promises if you put the work in.  The nutrition products are top notch and the support system is great.  I can’t wait to go to Beachbody Coaches Summit in Vegas this June.  I think the experience of meeting all the trainers will be a blast.

I learned so much in the P90X certification program that I better understand the muscle and cardio systems that are working when I get tired or feel like I hit a wall and it’s made it easier to train through them.  Now I need to buckle down and finish my NASM certification and then I think i’m going to open a gym.  I love fitness much better than technology, it’s more fulfilling.

If you are having problem losing weight, email me and we can talk.  I’ve been 380lbs and lost 80 of it in a year.  I’m only getting fitter and healthier and I know what you’re going through.  The frustration of not seeing the results you hope to see right away.  The change is happening, sometimes it just takes a bit longer.

don’t give up and keep pushing play!

#insanity

There is a cool feeling when you know you’re pushing your body and not injuring yourself.  You feel all the right muscle groups working in the core, your arms are pumped up and your lungs are breathing in and out as a pace that faster but easily providing your with enough oxygen.  You are in shape, healthy and loving life

Yesterday I did Insanity and then taught a Turbo-kick class in the evening.  I got home around 9pm, had a shakeology and went to sleep.  I got up this morning and Hit insanity again.  I’m tired, and my knees are a little sore but my body is responding the way it’s suppose to.  I say move, it moves, I say jump, it jumps, I say switch lunges with a hop and it says…FUCK YOU

OMG my knees are so sore I had to skip out on the last 12 minutes of Insanity.  I can push but as you get to know your body, you learn when you have to back off and my legs were not going to do switch lunges with a hop.  Right knee is a tad sore and I can correct this by spending some time on my rumble roller tonight.

I got up and worked and it feels good!  

I also registered for the Beachbody Summit in Vegas this June. I’ve been a coach for exactly a year and I’m going because this company is doing amazing things!  I got off the couch and got into running and being healthy again because of P90X and Insanity.  I got energy and fun back in my spirit because of turbo-fire.  I”m finding the me I used to be and making it better.  

The world my end in 2012 ( I highly doubt it) but it will be the year I crossed the line from getting healthy to being healthy again.

Keep pushing play and tomorrow is a much needed recovery workout…I think

Ok, Chalene wins!

Teaching turbo-kick is definitely getting my heart rate up higher than doing my Insanity workouts in the morning.

All hail the queen!

#Insanity

Insanity is back with a vengeance this morning!  Initially my body didn’t want to move but around the 2nd interval I was into the routine.  This is the only routine I’ve done with insanity that makes me light headed.

I’ve got a new game with Mr. Shaun -T, it’s call the A game.  Have you ever noticed how many people in his cast have names that begin with A?  Ariel, Anthony, Alison, Angelique, Alicia, Akill.  The man seems to be obsessed with the letter A.  You know who else get’s obsessed with letter?  ELMO!

I”m still convinced that Shaun-T is Elmo

I’m teaching turbo-kick class tonight so I need to rest up and get ready to dump another 800 calories out of my body!

Keep pushing Play!
