Insanity Workout Update- The Hardest Cardio I’ve Ever Done In My Life
Today is day 47 of the Insanity workout and I’ve finally set aside some time to post an update on my progress! It’s been an INCREDIBLE journey with Insanity. Did I say it’s been INCREDIBLE? Because it has! :-) Insanity has pushed me to the limits and right up to that edge which has allowed me to get great workouts. It has honestly been the hardest cardio that I’ve ever done in my life! During the workouts I get to breathing so hard and so deep (am I’m still talking about Insanity here?! :-) Just kidding…) that I HAVE to stop to take a second to catch my breath. I’ve never felt or experienced this kind of deep breathing before.
I made this video yesterday where I talk about how Insanity has gone so far, the difference between the regular workouts and the Max workouts, and what our plans are after my wife and I finish Insanity. Check it out and do me a favor and share this post if you’ve find it helpful-
Insanity Workout: Week 1 & 2
My wife and I have been doing the Insanity workout now for the past 2 weeks, and I’ve done a bad job of updating my blog on our progress so sorry about that! We started Insanity on November 7th, 2010 and today is day 17 of our journey with the program! That means we are already halfway done month 1 of Insanity which is crazy to think!
I was honestly very nervous and scared going into this program. Insanity is focused around cardio, and jump training (similar to P90X Plyometrics), and I struggle with cardio activities so I knew this program would be a challenge (which is exactly what I wanted). Oh and this program has been billed as the toughest program that Beachbody has ever put on DVD so I think that would make anyone nervous! :-)
P90X Before And After Transformation Video
I just put together my P90X before and after transformation video and I wanted to share it with you! I’ve been through 2 rounds of P90X now, and I figured it was about time to go ahead and make a P90X video of my results so far. I hope that my P90X transformation will inspire and motivate YOU to start the program, or to stick with it if you are already doing the program. Your hard work and dedication WILL pay off as long as you are 100% committed to the program.
So check it out and make sure to share this on Facebook and Twitter to help motivate and inspire others!Continue reading

Target Heart Rate Zone – How To Get Into The Zone During P90X
If you’re doing the P90X workout, you’ve probably heard Tony Horton say during Kenpo X to “check your heart to see if your in the zone” or something similar to that. During the below video, I’m going to show you exactly how to calculate your different target heart rate zones that you are going to want to work towards hitting during your workouts. These target heart rate zones aren’t just for P90X, they are for Insanity, or any other workout you’re doing.
It’s very important that you know your zone. By knowing your target heart rate zones, you’ll know if you’re at an intensity level that will give you the best possible results. You’ll also know if you’re pushing yourself too hard. Check out the video now!Continue reading
Heidi’s P90X Journey – P90X Week 3
This is a guest post by Heidi.
I made it through P90X Plyometrics this week! Can I get a whoop whoop..? There is a move in there that gives me a whole new respect for Molly Shannon. Appropriately called the “Mary Katherines”, they are lunges where you hop back and forth between right leg in front and left leg in front. Good lord, that’s difficult. I remember when Molly Shannon did those in her MK skits on SNL, and it didn’t look hard at all. It looked funny, yes. Hard, no. Trust me, they are hard. The version of MK on P90x doesn’t include the hands in the armpits, though, so that made them a little easier.
