Day 60 & 61 of 63

I kind of forgot to write about my workout yesterday so I am clubbing it with today's. There isn't much to write about but I do have pictures :D.

Day 60: Max Interval Sports Training
Workout Time: 55 minutes
Calories Burned: 654

I had an excellent Day 60 workout. I was definitely bringing it and was super pumped. It is probably the most calories I burned with Max Interval Sports Training. I just realized my favorite section is the track & field segment when you are doing those slow jogs and sprints - it just really works your heart and abs!!!!

Day 61: Max Interval Plyo
Workout Time: 57 minutes
Calories Burned: 671

Today was definitely not as fun as yesterday. I was kind of dragging myself through this workout but I made it through in the end. The problem with this workout is that it is just very intense on the quads and that is just such a big muscle group that it tires you down easily.

Day 59 of 63: Max Interval Circuit

Workout Time: 60 minutes
Calories Burned: 701

Wow! I am back after another break from Insanity. This time around I took an unplanned 4 day break. Originally I was planning to take 1 day off because it has been pretty busy around here but the end I was just exhausted and took 4 days off instead.

Today I decided to jump back right where I left off and continued with the Max Interval Circuit. I was still out of breath as usual and I didn't really see any degradation in performance. It is important to keep focused during the workout and stop thinking about "How much longer is the workout?"

4 more workouts to go!

Day 57 of 63: Max Interval Plyo

Workout Time: 59 minutes
Calories Burned: 704

I took another day off yesterday :S. That is just lazy!!! I blame the weather, but actually there is no one to blame but myself.

Today's workout went a few minutes over the regular 55 minutes because I had to take a few minutes of a forced break But overall I had a good workout. I rested well, I was pumped and motivated.

6 more workouts!

Also, I will be taking Wednesday off for some sports activity. So I will be off, but not totally off :D.

Day 51 of 63: Max Interval Plyo

Workout Time: 56 minutes
Calories Burned: 620

Make sure you get enough sleep and rest the night before your workout! I felt just exhausted all day and working out an intensive workout was the last of my wishes.

I started off really pumped up but I didn't have much energy to keep it up. However, I still went through the entire video and still burned my 600 calories. Dig deeper Y'all!

I also took a couple of pictures after my workout (all sweat wiped out) and will hopefully be able to use these to compare my progress in 2 weeks.

I was really hoping to get 6-packs by the end of this 60-day workout but by the look of these pictures it doesn't seem like I will be getting there. I might have to do a Round 2 and Round 3. My scale broke as well so I can't track my weight loss.

Day 45 of 63: Max Interval Plyo

Workout Time: 55 minutes
Calories Burned: 630

Oh Boloni! I am so exhausted. I completed this workout about 1.5 hours ago and I am feeling it now. I feel like my entire body is exhausted and I could probably go to bed right now.

I think I gave it my 100% today. It is very important that you focus and keep yourself motivated. The one method I use is my Mio Sport Select heart rate monitor. It helps me keep a calorie count throughout my workout and I keep saying, "100 more calories" and it works!

Throughout the workout I also realized that I did improve. I am sure I did better than my last workout.

Day 41 of 63: Max Interval Plyo

Workout Time: 50 minutes
Calories Burned: 615

I completed this workout last night but I almost skipped it. Well, originally Saturday's are my off days but I have things going on Wednesdays now that the sun is out and am going to take them as OFF days instead.

Anyways, so I almost didn't do the workout because I was not a good mood and had a headache. When I started the warmup I could really feel my headache but I kept pushing. I thought to myself, "working out helps with the blood flow. A headache is caused by a change in blood flow or additional pressure on the head. So if I workout, it will help my blood circulate and take my headache away." Hahaha, and it actually worked! I stuck to the workout and finished it (ofcourse, I didn't give it my 100% - more of 70%).

Regardless, I still burned 615 calories in 50 minutes. The workout was intense as usual but I got a really good workout on the shoulders last night (something I didn't really workout in the gym in the past).

P.S. My scale broke last night so I can't track my progress by weight. Last time I weighed myself I was down to 165lbs.

Here is a youtube clip from mkeithharris who summarizes the workout in 3.5 minutes.

Day 37 of 63: Max Interval Plyo

Workout Time: 60 minutes
Calories Burned: 712

Today I actually went through the entire workout and didn't quit halfway through like yesterday. This is my first Max Interval Plyo workout and I think it was great!

It starts off with a 10 minute warm-up just like yesterday's workout. It is composed of various different moves we learned throughout Phase 1 and it does get your body pretty warmed-up. I would say it is not as intensive as our Phase 1 warm-up.

It then continues with 3 sets of interval training followed by a few other different sets. I can't recall of off them but the hardest was definitely towards the end. Don't remember what it is called but it was some what of a push-up with balancing at the end with 1 and and 1 foot - I could barely keep my balance for 1 second.

Overall I rate this workout as 5/5 for high intensity and for being exiting. Going into Phase 2 I am glad that Shaun T has mixed things up to keep the motivation going.

On the downside, the workouts are now almost an hour long. On the brightside, you get to burn about 40% more calories. Look at my results, I burned 712 calories in 1 hour. My body feels exhausted and my muscles are really tired, but I feel good to have burned that many calories.

Remember to hydrate now that the workout level of intensity are much higher.

Here is a clip of the workout from Jason Croxford:
