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 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.

Fit Test #4

Wow! Did I feel good doing these or what? After I finished my fit test I wasn't really worn out like in my previous one. I felt really good actually.

I started off the fit test and after doing the Power Knees I felt like I needed an extra push so I looked at my previous results. I am glad I did because I realized that I did not improve on my Power Jacks nor my Power Knees. However, after looking back at my results I pushed myself to beat my last result. It worked!

1. Switch Kicks:   88  105  117  120
2. Power Jacks:   31  57  60  60
3. Power Knees:   52  58  80  80
4. Power Jumps:   20  21  35  40
5. Globe Jumps:   5   8  10  8
6. Suicide Jumps:   7   14  11  17
7. Push-up Jacks:   16  22  24  31
8. Low Plank Oblique:   30  36  44  50

There is actually a decrease in Globe Jumps but that is because I didn't have my usual workout space so I was restricted doing this move. I know, I shouldn't be giving myself excuses :(. Everything else looks great though.


1 more fit test to go. 2 more weeks of insanity to go.
