Round 2 – “Let’s get it on!”

I learned a few things from our first foray into the world of Insanity. #1:  It is easy to over train.  The leading cause of workout program abandonment is overtraining.  When your body and mind are physically exhausted, it is hard to find motivation to “push play.” #2:  Calories in vs Calories Out.  Losing weight is simple math….... [Read more of this review]


The Gauntlet…. The Gauntlet….

So the bachelorette party came and went, and so did my goals.  I managed to avoid the pool parties because I was actually out of town (great excuse to not have to admit my failure in reaching Adonis like greatness) but I did make it back for one night of vodka pounding, ass shaking, hangover inducing bachelorette party fun. Now the games are over,... [Read more of this review]


Insanity Workout Program: Day 14 – Cardio Circuit

Uh, I took to many days off but I got a phone call of motivation today. My good friend is planning her bachelorette party and of course she is having it in Vegas.  And since Vegas pool parties are her favorite things in the whole world, next to her beautiful daughter, I need to be ready for pool season.   The party is scheduled for April 10-12 so... [Read more of this review]


Old Habits Die Hard: Day 10-13

It’s the weekend… it’s Vegas…. and we party! Needless to say I spent the weekend in various states of drunkenness or hungover.  Therefore, no intense workouts were done…well not any involving Shaun T. Oh and it was MLK weekend so the partying didn’t stop until Tuesday…  Read More →


Yoga Break…Day 9

So my friend failed to inform me that she was a certified Bikram Yoga instructor.  Which means while I was struggling to get my fingertips to touch the tops of my shoe laces, she had her head poking through her legs, laughing at me.  Disappointing, slightly humiliating but somehow enticing…. I’m glad I went. All in all it was a great workout. ... [Read more of this review]


Insanity Workout Program – Day 8: Pure Cardio

I actually forgot how grueling this work out is.  It is non-stop movement! I’m feeling good, and looking good.  I can tell the program is working but this workout was the first time I felt a dip in my motivation levels. During the intro clip to everyworkout, Shaun T. yells, “Come on, yall!  Let’s GOOOOO!”  And it fires me... [Read more of this review]


Insanity Workout Program – Day 7: Cardio Power & Resistance

Oh, my neck!  Oh, my back!  Oh my neck and my back! Somewhere around minute 34, while suffering through the torturous exercise known as Globe Jumps, I tweaked my back.  Not sure how, nor am I sure how to fix it but it hurts like hell.  I pushed through and completed the workout but my range of motion suffered. Even after 30 minutes in the jacuzzi... [Read more of this review]
