Day 48 - Max Cardio
So, we had to take a day off (see day 47) because of this:

But, we’re back and today felt pretty darn good. It was the first time we were scheduled to do both the Cardio and Abs video.
My knees felt pretty good and my abs were ON FIRE by the end.

Day 46 Recovery
I still hate this video. The end.
Just kidding, I did it, but I swapped out any knee stuff. I think I’ll be back to normal tomorrow.

Day 45 - Max Pylo
I took it easy on the knee today and subbed out some of the exercises for less knee intense ones. It went pretty good, I was able to get through most of the workout. I’m trying to keep on top of icing.
DIG DEEPER, BITCHES.

Day 42 - Max Cardio
I continue to be disappointed my upper body strength, or lack thereof. On a positive note, I felt like we really pushed hard. Afterwards, we went for a very short run and it felt pretty good.

Days 40 and 41--catch up post
So we took Friday as our rest day instead of Saturday because of the Olympic Opening Ceremonies.
Day 41-Max Pylo-better than list time…I think. SO MANY PUSH UPS. I cannot do those side push up’s-yet. =)
After a little lounging and Olympic watching, we’re going to do the Max Pylo DVD.

Day 39-Recovery
Does any one else hate these recovery videos as much as me? I just want my heart to explode from my chest. I don’t want to pulse. Ugh.
I am thinking of switching to different videos on Recovery days…any one else tried that?
Tomorrow will be better!!!

Also, wow. Just wow.

Day 35___REST
Bad day. My parents have been visiting and of course we’ve been going out to eat and drinking beer. AWFUL. I feel like poop. As bad as this sounds, I will be glad when they leave so we can go back to out normal diet. My mom is especially picky about food. She won’t even eat a salad. Of course she is overweight and has breathing problems and it is really frustrating to watch her...

Out and back trip to Denver. No Insanity for me today.

Day 32-Rinse and Repeat
Ok, so yesterday the morning snuggles were too good to get up at 5am to do Insanity—-so we did it after work, around 6:00pm. This morning we worked out at 5:20am…2 Insanity workouts less than 12 HOURS.
DIG DEEPER? DUG DEEPER.

Catch up blog-Day 29 and 30-Recovery week/Core...
I really like the new video-I can almost do it all without stopping, which is a change from the regular DVD’s. The leg and shoulder stuff at the end is killer. I can barely lift my arms above my head today.
I am a little scared about the 60 minute craziness that will be happening next week.
DIG DEEPER……JOSH.

Day 25-Cardio Recovery
I hate this workout. I makes my knees super sore. Then, because I don’t feel like it was enough of a workout, I over do it with swimming or hiking or running and I’m less recovered than before! Ugh.
Any who, we still did it, because Shaun T says so. After we finish the 60+ days, we’re going to start over again, but without the recovery video. We’ll swap it out for...

Day 24-Pylometric Cardio
Level’s 1’s and In and Out’s are killer.
I am doing more each time, which is awesome. we have Cardio Recovery tomorrow——not looking forward to it. It’s my least favorite workout. It feels like it lasts forever, makes everything hurt and I barely break a sweat. But if Shaun T says to do it, I will.

Day 23-Cardio Power and Resistance
Today was tough. I guess we over did it yesterday! I managed to do most of the workout-sort of.
Side note: usually when it is rainy, my ankle, knee and hip start to hurt. It is monsoon season here in Albuquerque. No pain. (well, some pain-but shaun t related pain, not rain pain).
See ya tomorrow, Shaun T.

Day 22-Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs
Whew! Another day down.

Day 21 - part 2
No swimming =( There was lightning in the area, so the pool was closed.
Some observations: my fingers are skinnier (my wedding bands are looser), I don’t want to drink beer anymore (thanks a lot, Shaun T.), my clothes fit better and I hate real shoes.
I used to wear shoes from morning to bedtime. All day. I hated being barefoot. It made everything hurt-from my feet all the way up to my...

Day 20-Pylometric Cardio Circuit
We usually work out at 5am-but we could not drag our asses out of bed this morning, so we worked out at 8pm.
I am not sure what happened, but we kicked ass tonight.
Sweat everywhere.
Tomorrow we swim and run!

Day 16- Pylometric Cardio Circuit
Today’s workout felt really good. I felt like I legit dug deeper.
On a side note, I had this compulsion to start running a few times today. For no real reason…no one was chasing me. I just felt so good, I wanted to run.

Day 13 - Pure Cardio and Cardio Abs
Seriously?
Ok, in all seriousness, I am definitely doing more each time we do these videos and I feel proud of that. However, adding that cardio abs video today just about killed me.
Fit test on Sunday. =)

Day 12- Cardio Power and Resistance
I really like this workout. Even though it hurts like crazy.
I feel stronger everyday.
Tomorrow is the first time we do the pure cardio and cardio abs together and I am a little scared.

It burns. And burns.
Also, my knees are a little sore.
In spite of that, I am really looking forward to tomorrow’s workout.

Day 10-Pylometric Cardio Circuit
I felt kinda kick ass. Until we got to the second circuit. The Level 1’s and In’s and Out’s leave me face down on the rug….and not in a good way.

Day 8-Cardio Power and Resistance
LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Lots of poor choices this weekend! I am glad to get back to it.
I feel like I did more than last time, so that’s good. Tomorrow is pure cardio-that’s an ass kickin’ for sure.
Day 7
Rest—and beer.

Day 6-Pylometric Cardio Circuit
Holy sweat, Batman! Those Level 1’s are brutal!
I am pretty happy to have finished the first 6 days. I already feel stronger.
Before I started insanity, the wife and I were doing Jillian Micheal’s Extreme Shed and Shred. I really think it help prepare us for the madness. My clothes feel like they fit differently—not necessarily bigger, but different. =)
See you Sunday,...

Day 3-Cardio Power and Resistance
There was a moment today when I thought, “This might be the day this makes me puke.” Then it passed.
My calves are pretty tight and I am a little sore, but overall I feel pretty good.
Also, when Shaun says, “Check your heart rate”, I think: “I don’t need a fancy heart rate monitor—I can see it pounding though my shirt.”
