Today was day five on Insanity - Pure Cardio was the workout.  Let me tell you, this workout is no joke!  You start with a thirteen minute warmup, then have about a six minute stretch and then you go for fifteen minutes nonstop!  That's right,  no breaks!  I wish I could say I made it the entire time without a break, then again I wish I could say I made it through half of the exercises without a break.  This one works ya, can't wait for the next weigh in and fitness test in nine days.

Thursday, December 30

Workouts for the day:
P90X - Chest & Back - Push ups and pull ups, nothing fancy but works!
P90 - Ab Ripper 200 - Was able to get most of the way through this one today.
Insanity - Cardio Recover - Felt nice to get in some good stretching after a hard day.

I also watched the Insanity - Pure Cardio disc that I'm doing tomorrow morning and oh my, gonna be a few weeks before I can get through that one.

Tomorrow is the final day to sign up as a Beachbody Coach and not have to pay the $40 initial fee. You can see all the details here.

It only took one

One day of P90X and I was hooked.  I started the program on July 5 of 2010.  This was the day that the scale showed me a number that I vowed would never happen.  How had I let myself go that far?  I committed that day to changing my habits and eventually my lifestyle.  I stuck to the program for 90 days - much to the disbelief of those around me.  It took many days of waking up during the 5AM hour to get a workout in before work.  Other times it was after 11 PM when I was finally able to press play.  I wasn't in any sort of shape to start the program, and in fact I probably should have started with something a bit less strenuous.  Nevertheless, I pushed play everyday for 90 days and saw awesome results!  Over 30 inches and 50 pounds lost!  I'm not going to say it was easy - you will work every single day, but the end result is guaranteed if you put the time in.  It doesn't matter if you've been working out for months or haven't ever gone through a structured work out.  This program will deliver results!

The month of October brought some difficult situations into my personal life and I opted to stop working out.  This was frustrating as I had worked so hard to get to where I was, but it was absolutely the right decision.  Now here we are close to the end of the year.  I will finish the year down 30+ pounds from where I was six months ago.  Today marks day three of Insanity coupled with the resistance workouts from P90X (my wife is taking the X plunge).  That gives me a total of nine workouts every six days.  So far I'm loving it!

I also took the plunge and signed up to be a Beachbody Coach.  This means I get 25% off all Beachbody products.  The first thing I did was order Shakeology and I am anxiously awaiting its arrival.  I'm committed to not only getting in better shape for me and my family, but to helping others achiever their goals.  If you have any questions about Beachbody products or are interested in becoming a coach send your questions to onedose@beachbodycoach.com.
