Workout Wednesday ~ Insanity

I decided that on Wednesdays  I will post about my workouts. I have a love/hate relationship with working out....probably the worst part of it is because I get up at 5am to do it. I have found that if I do it in the morning I feel so much better during the day and feel like I have accomplished so much before I go to work. Once I get myself out of bed and get started, I am so happy I did it!

This is the current workout I am doing. Insanity....yes the name is scary and it should be. This is my second round doing this workout out program...the first time I was doing it I quit half way through because we were flooded by Hurricane Irene (I might post about that another time). It is a 60 day workout that comes with a calendar that tells you which workout to do each day. You workout six days a week and rest on Sunday...if you follow the calendar.

I highly, highly recommend this workout for anyone who is looking to be in the best shape of their life. The first time I did this workout, I lost 4 inches in my thighs in a week-no joke. I have to admit that I am not doing the diet part of it completely ( I eat good during the day and kind of splurge during dinner because I feel starved by then) so I haven't lost any weight yet BUT I have lost inches everywhere and all my muscles are so much tighter!

If you do decide to try this, don't give up. The warmup is a killer...I still cannot completely get through it without modifying but the results are awesome. From the reviews I have read, I've seen where the weight starts to come off in the second part of the program so I will update you on that!

This is the particular workout I did this morning, Plyometeric Cardio Circuit. The warm up is 10 minutes and intense, then you stretch for about 6 minutes and then about 20 minutes is two circuits repeated three times. It's intense but you will feel awesome after you have finished.

As they say at Team Beach Body..just push play!

If you send before and after pictures of your body from doing the program, you get a t-shirt! You best believe I will be sending my pics in because hey, I Earned It!

So if you're ready for a good workout that will get you in shape, I highly recommend Insanity. Before I did the second round, I was doing Couch 2 5k (coolrunnings.com) which is a good program to get you running a 5k in nine weeks. So that had me in good shape to start this, but the first time I did Insanity I started from no workout at all and still survived. You Can DO IT, Dig Deep :) ( you can purchase @ teambeachbody.com or Ebay...it is expensive but hey it's cheaper than the gym and will change your body)

Side note: boss told me to go home from work early today because of Tropical Storm Beryl :) Whoop Whoop- one of the perks of living far from work.

So I get to be at home with these cuties..Sandy is petrified of storms so she will be extra happy Mommy is coming home :) and we will be thinking of Daddy while he is out in the sound crabbing...ekkkk! Hopefully he will be done soon! Have a great day :)
