INSANITY day 24

Day 24: Plyometric Cardio Circuit Longest 45 minutes of my life. My heart rate got to 162 for most of the workout. I had to take more breaks than usual this time. I actually did a recovery drink and followed INSANITY with an hour of TurboKick. Today is Cardio Recovery with the Deep muscle work. I like it!

How'd you get so fit?

Days 22 and 23. Both yesterday and today were a little crazy so Rob and I worked out separately. Yesterday was Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs. I rocked it. I finished that and did an hour of Turbo Kick. It felt great. My kicks are so much better. I used to feel out of breathe during the Turbo(high intensity) section but now I breeze through it. I keep thinking.. "work harder"! Rob also rocked his workout. He was in the other room and I could see him tearing it up! He's so much more flexible than he used to be. New striations are showing up every day. Day 23 Today we had Cardio Power and Resistance, which is becoming my favorite workout. This is the one with weird inversion pushups. I was truly exhausted after that, no Turbo Kick today. I was gone most of the day and just felt tired from staying up all night working on the blog. I need to get more sleep. I'm a geek, my job excites me. Today I was out and someone asked my how I stay so fit. I thought that was pretty awesome.

DAY 21 Plyometric Cardio Circuit Here's a clip of our workout for Day 21. This is at the very end of the workout just before the final stretch. Rob said this was another "Sham-wow day". I'm a big fan of these standing core workouts. The basketball jumps and ski abs, well not so much but we can't have everything now can we? Check back in tomorrow for more!!

INSANITY gives me EIT

DAY 19 Core Cardio and Resistance Tough workout yesterday, but it was really good. The harder I work, I find myself with Exercise Induced Tourettes. (EIT.. I made that up) Now.. I want to say that I mean no disrespect to those with Tourette Syndrome, which is a horrible, horrible thing. I am just having a hard time describing this INSANITY induced happening.   Moving from V-pushups to ball pushups, to plank sprints and then back to more pushups at high speeds and intensity makes me just scream the weirdest nonsense. Yes.. the "I CAN DO THIS" and "Somebody kill me" gets mixed in with expletive anacronyms. (We've got kids here, you know). My new scream is ENFAMIL. It started out as F.M.L. (if you aren't sure.. don't worry about it.. you don't need to know). So now ENFAMIL is part of my EIT blasts.   The most logical reason could be that I'm not breathing much and needing oxygen. Shaun T tells you to take deep breaths all the way through but that's a challange when you are working at maximum intensity. I compare the feeling to a pressure cooker blowing. That's what it feels like. Once in a while I find myself mumbling incoherently while doing this workout. I've seen Shaun T. doing that as well so I'm not too worried. Today , Day 20, is our off day this week. We are going to film tomorrow's workout so we'll have some more clips this week! We'll bleep out the EIT. :)
