Recovery Day

Posted by kes601 on September 30, 2009

Cardio RecoveryToday was Cardio Recovery.  Not much to say about it other than I can’t even tell I worked out.  I will go for a walk this afternoon, as I think the pint of ice cream from last night needs to be worked off.

Week 4, Day 3 – Plyometric Cardio Circuit

Posted by kes601 on September 29, 2009

Plyometric Cardio CircuitToday was my least favorite of the days — Plyometrics.  I think I did MUCH better on the arm sections today though.  I did not feel like I had to drop to the floor quite as often.

I did have a very hard time getting out of bed this morning, I suspect from the early morning the day before.

Tomorrow is recovery day, followed by 2 more days of workouts and then week 4, and the first half of Insanity, is complete.

Gym Work

Posted by kes601 on September 28, 2009

Planet Fitness LogoWent to the gym since I had the day off from work.  More or less the same workout routine as last time — 18 mins on elliptical, 20 on treadmill, and some arm weight work.

Have to say I am loving Planet Fitness.

Week 4, Day 2, Done

Posted by kes601 on September 28, 2009

Cardio Power and ResistanceToday was Cardio Power and Resistance.  So much easier than it used to be.  Only 4 more days left until the recovery week.  Not much to add for today.

Week 4 Begins With 500+ Calories Burned

Posted by kes601 on September 27, 2009

Pure CardioToday marked the beginning of week 4.  It started with the longest and hardest of the workouts — Pure Cardio + Cardio Abs.

I made it through Pure Cardio with only having to stop for a break once, which is better than any other time.

Cardio Abs was still fairly tough for me, but I worked my way through it.

Five more workouts and I will be 1/2 way through Insanity.

First Day at the Gym

Posted by kes601 on September 26, 2009

Planet Fitness LogoWent to Planet Fitness for the first time today.  Nice place and will be worth the $12.50/month membership fees.  Did the elliptical machine for 15 minutes, treadmill for 20 minutes, and some arm weights for 10-15 minutes.

Insane 3rd Week Complete

Posted by kes601 on September 25, 2009

Cardio Power and ResistanceFinished up week 3 with the Cardio Power and Resistance workout.  I find it to be the easiest of the 3 rotating workouts.  I think because there are so few arm exercises.  Even though it seems the easiest, it was still 385 calories

I am anxious to get through next week and then the recovery week to see what the last 4 weeks has in store.  Should be intense and insane.
