WOW! I think i just had a body orgasm!!!
#P90X2 #Foamroller
X2 Recovery and Mobility was my stretch this morning. Ok seriously, i’m not really starting my P90X2 program until Jan 9th but I”m focusing on yoga and stretching over the next two weeks while I get ready to epic fail a 1/2 marathon.
That being said OMG this morning’s stretching was seriously a muscle orgasm!!! I’m talking WOW, like my heart even...

#turbofire
This morning the yoga/stretching sessions continue. Yesterday’s most excellent YogaX2 is followed today with Chalene’s stretch 40. I can’t express how much i’m liking doing all this yoga. I’m sore from yesterday but this mornings session is a different type of yoga so it was more rejuvenating.
I know this is obvious to anyone that consistently...

Naked Plow is not good
#yogax2 #workout
I did yoga this morning! For the next two weeks leading up to my run and the Jan 9th start of P90x2, I’m going to do stretching or Yoga in the morning where I normally would have been doing a strength program. This morning I did YogaX-2. It’s the Yoga for P90X2 (I couldn’t help myself, sorry)
It is much better than YogaX from the first one. It’s only...

New Years Beach Body Challenge!!!!
So I’ve been talking about this for a bit but now it’s time to toss out the invite. Starting on Jan 9th I will be hosting a fitness challenge group for 5 people who want to dedicate the time and the commitment to working out for 30 days to jump start their fitness.
As part of my group, you’ll be one of five likeminded people. We’ll track our progress along the way, hold...

Insanity: The Asylum Round 2 Day 30 - Assessment Test

So here are my numbers from the first time I did Aslyum round 1 back in July to the end of my round 2 numbers here in december:

IAR2D25 - Game Day
#asylum #insanity #workout
Asylum day 25 - Game day.
I don’t think team asylum won today. I would even go as far as saying we took a beating similar to the Steelers losing to the 49’ers Monday night. This was a defeat on par with the Ravens losing to Jaguars’ a few weeks back. You name the upsetting sports defeat, that was this mornings game day.
Shaun-T is not impressed...

IAR2D24 - "Put the water down, that's enough"
#asylum #insanity #workout
Asylum day 24 -
Shaun T said something at the end of this workout that made me smile. ”The only reason you pushed play today is because your mind told you that you had to. If it were up to your body you’d still be in bed.”
AMEN!
I did a Hot Yoga session last night. Hot Yoga is yoga in a heated room to make you sweat more. I was amazed and...

Asylum Day 23 - Speed and Agility
I’m thinking back to core was not a good example of how to push through a bad weekend of sugar as the FULL weight of that decision hit me this morning doing Speed and Agility. I felt heavy and sluggish so I had to push harder and work with more form and focus.
There is always a balance to working out, if you can’t go as...

IAR2D22 - Back to Core
#Asylum #Insanity #workout
Asylum Day 22 -B2C
Today was suppose to be a rest day but I rested yesterday…and Saturday. Gameday literally sucks the life out of me. I tend to get “sickish” the next day with whatever I maybe fighting so there was no way I was getting up on Saturday to do Vertical Plyo (boo me).
Sunday rolled around and I was still feeling sick so I decided to do...

Asylum Day 19 -Gameday and overtime
I missed Gameday last week (shame on me) so thus far I’ve only missed one workout this entire month. What is game day? How rude of me.
Gameday is where Shaun -T had put together 60 minutes worth of simulated sports based on the movements you’ve been doing in all the other workouts over the week. It’s essentially...

IAR2D18 - Relief and Turbofire Yoga
#Asylum #Insanity #Turbofire
Asylum Round 2 Day 18
Relief this morning was actually really good! I hadn’t realized how tight the back of my legs and lower back was getting but I definitely found out.
(I would put a picture of Shaun T here doing a relief stretch but the man is always looking intense and I don’t think he really knows how to relax so just pretend he’s streching...

IAR2Day17 - Concentration hurts
#asylum #insanity #
Asylum day 17
This has been a fun journey this time around and i’m all psyched to make the next 13 days of Insanity:Asylum the most intense just to see how far I can push my development. I’ve been toning nicely and shrinking and fitting all my clothes better. The harder it gets, the better my next day results feel. 13 days left in the Asylum and I’m all...

IAR2D15 - 1/2 done
#asylum #insanity
Asylum Day 15 - Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t. I keep thinking speed and agility will get easier but it doesn’t and I’ve finally figured out why. I’m getting better at it. So what does that have to do with it getting harder? The better I get, the faster I move, the harder it seems when I mess up. I’m also losing weight...

IAR2D13 - Strength
#asylum #insanity
Asylum day 13
This was the hardest workout I’ve done in a bit. It’s the same strength workout I’ve done twice now but I have a sinus infection, on anti-biotics and generally don’t feel the greatest from lack of sleep and the 17 degree weather outside.
Shaun talks about doing the motions with control. Nothing sums up control more than doing dumbell...

Asylum day 10 - Relief
Ahhhh, the much needed 30 minute Shaun T stretching session. Nice and slow, he speaks in a soothing, sensual voice and offers to come to my house and push on my butt so I can get a deeper stretch. He tells me to relax and make my body feel good. Mmmm
this man is going to help you make your body feel good…awww yea!
I was so heated...

iRunner - Santa 5k/ treadmill run/toe pain
#running #training
So it’s back to running. Less than a month until I’ll be at the Disney 1/2 marathon and I need to get some pounding back on my legs. The Santa 5k last Saturday was interesting. I’ve always heard never change anything before a run. I wore shoes for the first time in over a year:
and I took the stroller from my wife and pushed it for the 5k, which was a...

IAR2D9- The beast of workout
#asylum #insanity
Asylum day 9 - vertical plyo, the beast!
This is the shortest of the workout but its obnoxiously hard for some reason. I don’t like to jump up and down. I can jump up and down but I really don’t like it. This workout makes you jump up and down…a lot. I’m not happy but I did it.
I don’t have much to say other than I did it. You don’t...

IAR2D8 - Underwear optional
#asylum #insanity
Asylum day 8
Back to core is good! The stronger my core and back get’s the more I like this workout. I seem to always end up with a headache when i’m finished so I need to look into that.
What I don’t like…it seems like Shan T and the boys decided that this is an underwear optional workout as in the beginning when the jumping is happening, if this was...

Asylum Round2 Day 7
Work up this morning sore from the run yesterday and really not wanting to do the strength workout for today. That is when something clicks and you have to remember that if you want the beach body, you need to earn the beach body. Sure I could take a day off from my scheduled workout but what else am I going to do? Sleep? Eat all day? Sit around and be...

I slept in a little this morning so I didn’t start the workout until 4:30 am (yeah, that’s sleeping in). I have a 5k today at 10 am so why would I do speed and agility? It’s my scheduled workout on my scheduled day or I’m just cra cra like that!
I’ve kind of gotten away from...

Next month this time ill be starting 2012 with a Disney 1/2 marathon that I not trained a lick for.

Asylum day 4 vertical plyo
I forgot how much I this particular workout really makes me concentrate on my form and core. It’s hard on the knees and ankles so unless you really focus on stability you can hurt yourself. Two of the exercises at the end I flat out can’t do. I don’t have the…whatever it is i need to be able to do a one...
