Fit Test again today. I'll try to put the actual #s down at some point but they are at home and I'm at my office. Just know they were greatly improved. I will say that I was probably going at 90-95% for the 1st one just so I could have improvement and today I went 100% on pretty much all of them. It will be interesting to see if I can improve them again in 2 weeks, because I felt pretty maxed out. Also, I paused the DVD a few times just for an extra 30 seconds rest between Fit Test exercises.
For the diet today I don't remember everything I ate but I know I did have 2 beers after the VFD meeting.

Insanity Day 14 - Off
Another "Off" day. I'm very glad to have Sundays off right now. I have football on Sunday morning so I'll still be getting a decent workout in. Other than that nothing big to report here and I definitely don't remember what I ate.

Insanity Day 13 - Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs
Just finished the first double workout of this Insanity workout program, with the addition of the 16 min long Cardio Abs. Pure Cardio is a hard workout... no rest. Putting an extra 16 min workout after that is challenging. Cardio Abs is unique because there are litterally ZERO crunches or sit-ups in this Ab workout. Very unusual. I took some week 2 pics after the workout which I will post soon. Off to football practice.

Insanity Day 12 - Cardio Power and Resistance
Still fighting this damn cold. Not to mention I bruised my shin sliding in softball last night. When I woke up at 6am this morning, I thought I might be able to make it though the workout, so I hopped in the car and headed out to Tysons. The whole way there my leg was throbbing and I could barely walk on my way out to the car. I decided to skip the morning workout and just took a nap in my car. Definitely a good idea. I worked out with Ian at lunch (real tough one) and my leg was feeling much better by then. By the time I left the office at 6pm to go back to the gym for Insanity I was probably at 80-90% with my shin, and probably 70% with the cold. I'll take it!
My lunch workout with Ian was really hard today. Probably partly because I wasn't 100% but also it was just freakin intense. Shaun T would have been proud. We did was we call the "56" workout... basically pick one exercise for each muscle group (chest, shoulders, back, bi's, tri's) and then do 10 sets with reps decreasing each set from 10 to 1 (totalling 56 reps... hence the "56" workout). Started with bench press at 135 lbs (hard). Then military press at 85 lbs (also hard). Then lat-pulldown at 100 lbs (I think... it wasn't too hard so after the 5th set we pushed it up to 120 lbs). Then shrugs (rack). Finished with manual resistance curls and tricep press. Well, we didn't finish there... of course we had to do some killer ab work. All in all a really good and tough workout.
Insanity after work was nice. Didn't have to worry about finishing on a schedule like my morning workouts, so I was able to pause it towards the end, give myself a short 2 minute break then get back on it. I've done this Cardio Power and Resistance workout a few times so I'm not going to go into great detail about it, but it is a tough one. Well the first set of exercises is hard but not killer. The second set with Globe Jumps and Moving Pushups and Mountain Climber was freaking insane. I paused it after the 3rd set of these exercises before the bonus workouts (8 squat hops and 8 pushups times 4).

Still sick. Bad cough mostly. That plus the fact I could barely walk on my left leg this morning and I'm really happy I was able to get 2 workouts in today. I also ordered Shakeology today which I'm planning on having for lunch from now on. Should really help with the diet.

Insanity Day 11 - Cardio Recovery
I have to say I was REALLY glad today was Cardio Recovery. I'm on the back end of my cold and my lungs really could use a break... and obviously I wasn't going to miss a day of Insanity for a stinkin cold. After gutting through a full day of work and 2 workouts yesterday, I decided to give myself a few extra hours of Nyquil induced sleep and did Insanity after waking up around 10am.
This workout still gets me pretty damn sweaty for not having any cardio, and reminds me a lot of the first 45 minutes of the P90X Yoga-X workout. Cardio Recovery mixes a bunch of difficult Yoga poses with concentrated squats and lunges to get you sweaty but allowing you to control your breathing. All-in-all I like this workout a lot (P90X Yoga-X was probably my favorite P90X workout).

Insanity Day 10 - Cardio Circuit (Plyometric Cardio Circuit)
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010
On the Insanity Workout Calendar this day is listed as "Cardio Circuit", which got me excited for a new workout... only to find out there was no "Cardio Circuit" DVD and after a quick Google search finding out this is just a typo and should be Plyo Cardio Circuit. So not even half way into Week 2 and I'm already doing the Plyo Cardio Circuit for the 3rd time. Kinda annoying.
Going into the workout this morning I knew I was going to struggle. Plyo Cardo Circuit (PCC) has the hardest 5 minute stretch of any DVD I've done so far (the Basketball Drills section), I'm still sick, and I don't think I got more than 3-4 hours of sleep last night. Bad bad combo. Honestly I'm just glad I had the motivation to get my ass up and to the gym this morning to do it. I had to take a few more breaks than usual, including an extra 2 minute pause before the 3rd set of Basketball Drills.
On an side note, I had free tickets to the National's game tonight but changed my mind about going because all I can think about right now is sleeping. I still feel like crap. Hoping tomorrow will be better.

Insanity Day 9 - Pure Cardio
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010
I feel like I should be adding the date of the workouts on here, so there you go. Today was a sick day from work and I slept in until 11am. Really needed it... this cold is kicking my ass. I considered not working out at all today then I realized that I'm not good at that, so off I went. I drove out to Tysons anyways and played soccer with the guys from noon-1pm then when I got home I relaxed, at some lunch, laid in bed then turned on Insanity at around 5:30pm. Then I showered, got dressed and drove out to DC for 7:15pm kickball on the Mall. I really suck at resting.
Here's a short blurb that I wrote immediately following the Pure Cardio workout (while dripping sweat on the keyboard.)
just finished. still sick, but proud of what i could do with less lungs. warm up wore me down more than usual. only had to take 3 breaks during the 15 min cardio section, which i was happy about. during frog jumps and after doing 20 jack pushups at the end (20 was my goal so that was ok). sweating like crazy. about to go to dc for kickball.
Diet/Workout
Morning Workout: soccer (45 min)
Cosi Chicken TBM with chips and a coke
Lunch/Afternoon Workout: Insanity Pure Cardio (40 min)
Evening "Workout": kickball (45 min).... hilarious I call this a workout. mostly just standing around outside
Grilled Chicken sandwich with American Cheese and some fries (only ate about 60% of the sandwhich and about 50% of the fries)
few cups of Miller Lite and one shot of something
Ice Cream Sandwich
Thoughts on the Day
Way more active than I should have been given I felt like crap all day. In hindsight I'm glad I did Insanity but I probably should have skipped soccer and kickball and just rested. Oh well.

Insanity Day 8 - Cardio Power and Resistance
Same workout as Day 3, so I won't go into too much detail here about the workout itself (it's a tough one though). I did it in the morning before work, and felt a bit of a cold coming on which definitely affected my lung capacity. I noticed I was gasping for air much more. Unlike last week, I was able to do this workout without pausing it before the final set. The Moving Pushups to Floor Sprints section of this workout is freaking insane.

Good workout but starting to feel a cold coming on. Felt like crap most of the day. Probably shouldn't have pushed it and played basketball at night, I was severly gassed. Ok with the diet though... maybe too many carbs.

Insanity Day 7 - Rest
Well "Rest" isn't really something I take well, so although I didn't have an Insanity DVD to use today, I was sure active. I had my 1st co-ed rec football game at 11am and then played 18 holes of golf later on in the afternoon. I had a beer and burger with the team after the game at Baileys in Ballston, VA and a hot dog and coke while golfing. After golf I went to Wegmans and picked up dinner and food for the week. Dinner was some rotisserie chicken, fresh steamed broccoli and some risotto. I think I'm going to stop eating that Wegmans risotto because that stuff has got to be filled with sodium. Anyways, I took some pics after my workout Saturday (after week 1).
Insanity Day 6 - Plyometric Cardio Circuit
Only 6 days in... still in the 1st week, and already doing a workout that I've already done (on Day 2). Not so happy about that, even though I really liked this workout. Insanity, like P90X, costs over $130 through the BeachBody website. I wish both programs had far more DVDs. P90X has 12 workouts. Same with Insanity.
I'm not going to go into too much detail about the workout itself, check out the Day 2 blog for that. I will say that the "Basketball" section of the workout is incredibly hard. Start with Level 1 Drills - 4 pushups, 4 mountain-climbers, stand up hands in the air then back again for 30 secs; Ski Drills - from plank position jump your feet up to your left side, back to plank, jump feet to right side, back to plank, etc; In-and-Outs - from plank position, jump your feet to your chest, back to plank, back to your chest, etc. Really tough stuff.
It's a 45 minute workout. Like the others, about 20 minutes of it are the intense interval training. Really hard stuff.
This was my 1st non-work day doing Insanity as well, which is always scary. Monday to Friday, working out is just part of the daily routine. Get up, go to the gym, workout, go to work, workout at lunch, back to work, go home. Weekends are harder. Just need to stay focused.
Daily Diet/Workout:
Tuna Melt on Cinnamon Raisin Bagel with American Cheese
16 oz Pepsi
Morning Workout: mowed 3 lawns (2 hours)
Afternoon Workout: Insanity Plyo Cardio Circuit (45 min)
Cosi Chicken TBM with Carrots and 20 oz Coke
Wawa Iced Tea, soft pretzle, turkey hoagie
Thoughts on the Day:
I wish I hadn't stopped by Wawa after dropping off my little brother in Centreville. I was probably at like 1,500 to 2,000 cals at that point, already had more soda that I should have and worked out a TON. I liked the workout, I liked the fact I was able to get an extra workout outside by mowing some lawns (for free). It was nice.

Insanity Day 5 - Pure Cardio
Holy crap. I mean this is a serious effing workout. During the other workouts that I've done so far, I often think that the 20 or 30 seconds of rest they give you is not nearly enough and should be 1 minute or more. During Pure Cardio, you have ZERO water breaks during the actual workout part of the DVD. ZERO.
The workout starts out like the others - a pretty intense "warm up". This is easily one of the toughest warm ups, if not THE toughest. File this under "Obvious Foreshadowing".
After the warm up I was already gasping for air and dripping sweat - only to get a 20 second water "break" before some intense stretching. The basic moves in the stretching are pretty similar to the ones in P90X, but these are way more intense. Hard to explain how without going into crazy detail, but basically you have to either keep your arms straight out in front of you or straight above your head for the entire 7 min stretch routine.
Another 20 second break and then it's 15 minutes (15 exercies, 1 min each) of hell. Probably the reason why I enjoy doing Insanity in particular is because these workouts remind me the most of the workouts of a professional athelete. Well this workout really pushes it. I can't even imagine what kind of shape someone would have to be in to compelete this workout without stopping and keeping their pace the entire time. I consider myself in pretty good shape. I've been working out a few days a week for like 3 years and I did successfully complete P90X - but this workout crushed me.
Here's a list of the 15 exercises you do back to back:
Suicide (side to side touching the floor)
Switch kicks (exhausting)
Wide football sprints
Stance Jacks
Pedal (two lunges, then sprint, followed by 2 more lunges, etc)
Hooks and Jump rope (8 hook punches, several high jumps, 8 punches etc)
Power jacks (like jumping jacks, but you go deep in a wide lunge)
Level 2 drills (8 push ups followed by 8 run lunges, repeat - probably the hardest of all the Insanity exercises that I've done so far)
Frog Jumps Power Knees (switch every 30 seconds)
Mountain Climbers Ski Down (jump side to side as if skiing)
Scissor Runs Suicide Jumps (squat down, jump back to a push up, stand up again)
Push up jacks (push ups with wide feet)
During this Insane marathon of a 15 minute workout, you see the people in the video dropping out constantly to break on their own. Also, at the very end pretty much everyone is laying on the ground looking like they just lost a fight.
Hopefully before the 60 days are up I'm able to finish at least 95% of this workout without breaking. Now that would be a feat.

Insanity Day 4: Cardio Recovery
Long time since an update - it's now Monday, May 3rd and I need to go back and do quick updates from Thursday, April 29th. I'll try to keep these quick and do it as best I remember.
Cardio Recovery - Thursday, April 29th
As usual - I didn't know what to expect from this DVD. I did think it odd that I was already supposed to have a "recovery" day after really just 2 days of working out (not counting the "Fit Test" on Day 1). I've been working out pretty consistently and I didn't really think that more than 1 day of "rest" per week was needed (P90X has 6 days on, 1 day off), but I would soon find out that this was not really a "rest" day.
The workout was a short 33 minutes, with mostly controlled moves, including some Yoga poses that I recognized from P90X. Lots of stretching, lots of squats to lunge to squat to lunge etc, lots of plank work and a good amount of the aforementioned Yoga. All-in-all a good mid-week workout. I got a good sweat but not like the rest of the workouts. I knew I was going to be playing soccer at lunch so wasn't too concerned about the cardio aspect.
Diet/Workout:
Morning Workout: Insanity Cardio Recovery - 30 min
Kashi GoLean with blueberries and skim milk
8 oz V8
Activia Lite Yogurt
Powerbar Harvest Energy
Lunch Workout: soccer - 1 hour
don't remember what I ate the rest of the day
Evening Workout: softball - 1 hour
Mood: felt good. good workout.
