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.

Taking a Break...
Sorry folks. I have decided to take a 1 week break. Why? It is an extremely busy week and I need to redirect my focus to what really matters at the moment. I understand health is very important, but that does not mean I will be pigging out. On the contrary, during this week I will continue to eat well but don't have time to exercise.

Day 30 of 63: Core Cardio & Balance
Workout Duration: 40 minutes
Calories Burned: 390
For a moment I thought I would be able to finish the workout 100%. But, 20 minutes into the workout and I started feeling tired. When I checked my heart rate it actually shot up to 90% MHR. That is pretty high for a recovery workout so I slowed it down. However, overall, the workout was a lot less intensive and I could feel my heart rate rise steadily unlike the other workouts where my heart rate would just shoot up.
I am not sure what is my favorite part of the workout but I am sure my least favorite are the last 8 minutes where we do the shoulder exercises!!!!
Keep pushing.. that is all I can say.
