IA: Day ??? \ Vegas Recap
#asylum #tbb411
Welcome back to the Asylum! I haven’t done my scheduled workout since last Wed night because I few out to Vegas for the BeachBody Coaches summit! This was an amazing experience.
That is Turbo-kick queen Chalene on stage in the parking lot of the Tropicana leading a 4500+ turbo kick session!!!
So I wasn’t skipping my workouts, I was working out with Shaun T, Tony...

IA - Day 18 Relief/ 3 mile run/ Turbo-kick
#asylum #marathontraining #turbo-kick
Today is one of those days where a triple workout is not as bad as it sounds. I got up semi-early and did my 3 miler while the day was still “cool” The deer park forest preserve is always the best place for this as far as i’m concerned. It’s a 3 mile loop, what more can you ask?
I ran in shoes today instead of my vibrams and I...

This years warrior dash was...

IA Day 13

Insanity: The Asylum - Day 13…this is starting to feel like a journal i keep and have been lost at sea for weeks on end :P
So yesterday was one hell of a calorie burning day. I did my 3 mile run, Asylum Back to core, worked (I’m a computer engineer so I got to sit a bunch) showed up early and did 20 minutes of Zumba as a warm up and then taught Turbo-Kick round 50. After...

3 mile run / Asylum back to core
#marathontraining #asylum
Week 2 of Chicago marathon training kicks off with a slow but necessary 3 mile run. Quite the contrast from Sunday’s 6 miles, it was only 60 degrees this morning. Perfect for a run. I mapped a new route that takes me to a massive hill loop, which i figure can’t hurt me. I also ran in shoes instead of Vibrams today. Its crazy annoying my left foot loves...

Asylum/Running weekend update
#asylum #marathontraining
Gameday! This activity snuck up on me this morning because I was expecting a strength workout. Oh well, adapt and overcome. 60 minutes of sports related activities from a one mile run (literally) to surfing and wrestling and mountain climbing. This is my 3rd time in the Asylum program but it is my first time that the 8 minute run didn’t bother me a bit. The...

IA - Day 7 Strength
#asylum
The soreness in my legs is beginning to fade! Thank goodness because Today’s 4:30 Turbo-kick class would look kind of funny if I had to do low impact kicks. Today was Asylum Strength day and I am really digging this program my 3rd time doing it.
I went back through my blogs last night and its funny seeing how something change and some remain the same. I am a huge P90X fan, I...

iRunner - 3 miles
#running #marathontraining #chicagomarathon
Day 2 and this is the run that almost didn’t happen. I did asylum this morning (speed and agility) and my quads were hurting when I started that workout. I tweaked my right ankle at work walking up stair (because my quads are sore, the balance is off). Got home and decided that, sometimes you just have to push yourself to see how far you can...
IA- Day 6
#Asylum
Yesterday was an asylum rest day, one of the few pure rest days in this program. I, of course, ran instead of resting. Boy could I feel that in my quads this morning. Speed and Agility started out more like slow and steady but as I warmed up the agility came, the speed followed after that.
This is my hell week for working out. I have a 3 mile run tonight and then tomorrow I have...

iRunner - Let it begin
#running #marathontraining #motoactv
Chicago Marathon, here I come! It all starts with that first step and for me that first step involved a 3 mile run. This is my first time running since St. Patrick’s Day and being flu like for the better part of the month of March. So how did it go?
SLOW!
I’m incredibly sore from Asylum yesterday and am glad this is a rest day from that. My...

IA Day 4 - Vertical Plyo
#Asylum
Ah, Vertical Plyo my old friend. This is a challenging workout, and by challenging I mean exhausting! This could be one of those workouts I need to do in the middle or end of the day because my legs just don’t want to wake up for all the jump rope work or the long jump.
I did some extra stretching last nigh on my shoulder, it’s a muscle pull, not bad, just obnoxious...

IA: Day 3 -back to core
#Asylum
Back to core is one of those workouts that, on the surface, doesn’t seem to difficult, but you’re going to feel it later. I think whatever is wrong with my shoulder/collar bone involves a slightly strained muscle. Working it this morning was good as i could feel it stretching out and loosening up a bit but now it’s sore again. I think i’m going to take some...

IA: Day 2 - Strength
#Asylum
Hello muscles! I haven’t done a ‘strength’ focused workout since I ended P90X2 back in Feb! Insanity is all about the cardio. Insanity: Asylum dedicates more to strength training and I can feel it today.
I have a completely different perspective going in this time. I have the cardio base so I’m not running out of gas during these workouts so now I’m...

IA: Day 1
#Asylum
June first and I made the switch to Insanity Asylum. I have 21 days to be tone for my beachbody summit and this is the workout that will get me there!
Speed and Agility today and I have to say, after doing Insanity, Asylum is still kind of hard! I am much faster and better coordinated this time around so I’m pushing myself harder.
my right shoulder and collar bone is still...
