Phase 1 Review

Phase 1 of Beachbody Insanity was great. 

I was able to complete phase 1 without any interruptions and feel great after 30 days of working out. I did start up Phase 2 today but I wanted to write a little bit about Phase 1 before moving on.

In summary:
- The first week of Phase 1 was probably my worst week. I was barely able to keep up with the warm-ups. At the same time it was also my best week as I was really motivated to get back in shape.
- Improvements started showing during the 2nd week of Phase 1. By improvements, I am referring to greater endurance.
- More improvements came during the 3rd and 4th week of Phase 1.
- The last week of Phase 1 was a recovery week which was a great way to cool your body down and give it a little break.
- The workouts were always tough. Every single one of them needs 100% of your attention to get the most out of them.

Overall, Phase 1 was great to get your body pumping again and get yourself into a healthy habit of working out and eating well.

Day 22 of 63: Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs

Hurray! I am almost done with the first phase of Beachbody Insanity by Shaun T. I just starting my 4th week and the first phase has a total of 5 weeks with the last week being kind of a "Recovery" week.

Pure Cardio & Cardio Abs are definitely my favorite workout routines. Maybe because they are easier than the rest or maybe I do better in these workouts. Whatever the reason, I like them and it makes me work harder.

Last night I also decided to order a strapless heart-rate monitor watch. I ordered the MIO Sport Select from Amazon.com. Why? Because it was cheap and strapless. I'll write a review about it once I get a chance to use it.

Here is a clip from Coach Julie's workout.
