Workout Time: 46 minutes
Calories Burned: 6xx
I can't remember off the top of my head how many calories I burned today. Today was definitely one of my worst workout days as I did not have enough sleep last night - all week actually. It just has really been busy at work and I have even been working at home at least 2 hours a night. But, it will be over soon, projects will be delivered soon.
I guess Beachbody Insanity will be over soon too. Well, not really - the first round of insanity is over.
Tomorrow is going to be my fit test and my Cardio Abs as I did not do that today. After that I will take a week off and start of again with a new workout program that integrates weight training and cardio. I post that and my diet as well once I figure it out.

Day 58 of 63: Max Cardio Conditioning & Cardio Abs
Workout Time: 65 minutes
Calories Burned: 756
Today's workout was good. The Max Cardio Conditioning working is slightly different than the other 2 workouts in Phase 2. It really does focus more on "Conditioning" as it does workout the quads more and it tries to work on strengthening. It is also probably less cardio intensive than the other workouts. My weak spot are my quads so I don't quit like this workout :P
I also decided to do the Cardio Abs instead of Insane Abs due to time constraints - I didn't want to spend an hour an a half workout out. Insane abs runs about 30-35 minutes while Cardio Abs runs about 15 minutes. Even though Cardio Abs is 15 minutes shorter, I actually felt like I did a pretty good workout because I was able to keep up with this video more than I could with Insane Abs. So my tip to you is, don't try Insane Abs unless you feel Cardio Abs is starting to feel easy.

Day 52 of 63: Max Cardio Conditioning & Insane Abs
Workout Time: 82 minutes
Calories Burned: 870
Max Cardio Conditioning was ok today. I burned about 548 calories. As you can see this workout is the least intense among all 3 in Phase 2 of Insanity. However, it still works you out. The moves in this workout are more "do-able" compare to the others so it feels like a pretty happy workout overall.
Insane Abs is now officially one of my favorite workouts. This is my second time doing the workout and there was much more improvement over the first time doing them. It is probably because of muscle memory and (maybe because I am actually getting stronger. lol). I really like this workout because it does work your abs and also gives you some light cardio workout. Best of all, no crunches! So it does not feel like you are moving your head constant and getting dizzy. The second half of the workout is most of the work is done. You have to make sure you really push it and try to hold as long as possible.
No pictures today.
Here is an ad for Beachbody Insanity. I like looking at them and at the before and after pictures. Hopefully I can get something like that - maybe not in 60 days but definitely in 6 months.

Day 47 of 63: Max Cardio Conditioning & Insane Abs
Workout Time: 82 minutes
Calories Burned: 843
This was a really long workout but that was because it included Insane Abs. At this point I had the option of doing Cardio Abs or Insane Abs and ofcourse I went for the tougher one. It was not that much tougher actually and it was a great workout. By the time I was ready to do the ab routine my legs were exhausted. So, I was not able to do too much without taking breaks. But that is ok.
I have a headache now after all that workout. I am probably dehydrated so remember to drink plenty of fluids and eat properly!

Day 43 of 63: Max Cardio Conditioning
Workout Time: 48 minutes
Calories Burned: 560
Today I didn't burn as much as I did a couple days ago doing the same workout but oh well. That is how things go. 560 calories isn't bad at all.
So far I am still having problems completing the full 10 minute warmup. I can almost complete the first set but once we start doing that hand stand twist move my thighs give out. I tracked my hear rate and it seems as though it doesn't go up as high as before. The maximum it reached today was 88% MHR but I know why. It is because I have to take breaks because my legs can't stand the workouts. Yeah, it is very thigh intensive.
Regardless, I am not giving up. I only have 3 more weeks to go and I can't wait to do a before and after picture and compare my gains (or loss in this case :D).
Youtube clip from Betterlife90. I like it at the end when he says, "This is what hard work looks like" because that is exactly what I feel at the end of all Insanity workouts.

Day 38 of 63: Max Cardio Conditioning
Workout Time: 48 minutes
Calories Burned: 600
All I can say is that this video was a little less intense than yesterdays. It is also the video that does not provide any breaks!
Overall, I still struggled to complete all sets. This includes the warmup, the intervals, and etc. Yup, it feels like I just started this program. LOL.
Here is Jason Croxford's youtube clip:
Today's post workout picture. Sorry, it is pretty blurry as I took it with my phone.
