It looks like Insanity again.....

Well, it looks like I will start Insanity again on Monday. I've been pondering over doing that or P90X2 (which I haven't done at all). For some reason, I just love the HELL that Shaun T put me through!  After completing ANY Insanity workout, I'm dripping in sweat, I feel like accomplished and get the results that I want. I need to make sure that I continue to get some type of strength added into my workouts.  So, I'm trying to decide if I want to do an Insanity/P90X2 hybrid or if I want to do Insanity and add my CrossFit workouts in.  I think that I'm going to have to sit down and review some of the P90X2 workouts since I haven't event taken them out of the box!  SMH.  Has anyone completed P90X2 or done any of the workouts? I will keep you posted on what I decide.  What workout did you complete today?

P90x-Insanity Hybrid Day 22 - Core Cardio & Balance

So, today was Day 22 of our Fit Phatty hybrid challenge.  It's been a long time since I've done Core Cardio & Balance.  Can I just tell you that my core is screaming right now!??!?!  I'm super excited that it's recovery week because there are some great workouts scheduled this week.  Also looking forward to Thursday as that workout is Core Synergistics.  Even though it is recovery week, I will add in some of my own additional cardio workouts but plan to take it easy. 

Have a great recovery week!

P90x-Insanity Hybrid - Day 17: Shoulders, Arms & ARX

Today was Day 17 of our Team Fit Phatty hybrid of P90x-Insanity.  I have to say, it was a good day.  I was focused on heavier weights in the 8-10 rep range.  I'm looking to increase the muscle size in my arms and legs.  Needs to say, I worked myself today.  By the end of the workout, I was feeling accomplished and pooped!  I love when I lift and I can be drenched with sweat and breathe heavy.

Day 1: P90x/Insanity Hybrid - Chest/Back and ARX

Well since I didn't complete my Day 1 - chest/back and ab ripper x yesterday, I got up this morning and did it.  It's been awhile since I've done this dvd, so I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow.  I guess my scores are alright but I know I did what Tony says not to do - stop to early.  For most of the exercises, I stopped way before the time was over.  I just wanted to give myself a base today to see where I'm at by not over doing it.  I have listed the move and then how many reps I completed in each round.

Standard push ups - 25 / 22
Wide pull ups - 4 / 4
Military push up - 15 / 17
Chin ups - 5 / 5
Wide push ups - 20 / 22
Overhand pull ups - 3 / 2
Decline push ups - 20 / 15
Heavy pants - (20lbs) 10 / 10

Mid Week Check In - Happy Wednesday!

Hey everyone!  Happy Hump Day to you!  I just wanted to share my week with you all so far. The first thing that I wanted to share was, I know the scale doesn't always matter but I want to point something out.  When you put in the work AND eat clean, the results will follow.  On Monday, I weighed in at 159 something and this morning I weighed in at 154 something.  How have I been doing it??  I'll share.  I've put in at least 30 mins of cardio, whether running, jumping rope or doing cardio intervals.  As far as my meals, they've been clean, no joke!  It's amazing what you can accomplish when you do what you are supposed to.  I'll continue out this great and continue my journey on Sunday when we start the P90X/Insanity Hybrid challenge.  With that journey, I'll share measurements, pictures, posts and videos.  :)

Have a blessed day!

Workout Schedule - week of 7/11/11

Since I was out on vacation most of last week but was still able to get some workouts in, I've decided that I am going to re-do Week 5 of my P90x/Insanity Hybrid.  Also, with the fact that I was on vacation and didn't eat great every day at all meals, I've decided that I am going to incorporate some two-a-day workouts.  So, here is what I am committing to this week as far as my workouts.

TUESDAY:
AM - Max Interval Circuit
PM - Run 2 miles or Interval Track Workout

WEDNESDAY:
AM - Back & Biceps / ARX
PM - Interval Training

THURSDAY:
AM - Max Recovery

FRIDAY:
AM - Legs & Back / Cardio Abs
PM - Run 2 miles or Interval Training

SATURDAY:
AM - Max Interval Plyo

SUNDAY:
AM - X Stretch

KILLED my workout today!!!

Well, I survived another day!  Today was Day 9 of my P90X/TF hybrid and Day 2 of my 1000 calories workout challenge.  On tap for the schedule was Core 20 and HIIT 20.  I knew there was no way that I was going to burn 1000 calories just for those two exercises, so I stepped it up.  I hit Core 20, HIIT 30 and Insanity Max Interval Plyo.I burned 1181 calories during those workouts.....WHEW!  I'm not sure how I made it through but I did.  I can already feel the workouts and will need to do a major stretch tomorrow after my workouts.  I can't wait to see what my measurements looks like on Monday.

Day 8 - TF/P90X Hybrid

So, today was Day 8 of my TF/P90X hybrid.  Last week I set a goal for myself that I would burn at least 1000 calories in my workouts all week.  Being that today was only Back & Biceps there was no way that I was going to burn 1000 cals.  Well I did burn 1052....woot woot!  I completed back & biceps, 20 mins of tabata (squats, pushups, lunges, situps & burpees) and 55 mins on the Wii Fit.  My back is definitely feeling the workout.  Those corn cob and towel pull ups are NO JOKE!  If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll have to look them up or purchase P90X.  :)

On another note, I took my measurements and I'm down 1.2lbs, .25 inches on my waist and .50 inches on my hips in a week.  I'm glad that I still even lost weight considering the weekend I had.  I will have better changes next week.

Days 2 & 3 of P90x/TF Hybrid

I forgot to blog yesterday's workout, so I'm combining it with today's workout.  Day 2 consisted of Ab Ripper X and Fire 30.  I love ARX - great core workout in just 15 minutes!  Instead of doing Fire 30, I decided to step it up and do HIIT 30.  It was the first time I'd done that workout.  I LOVED it.  My max HR reached 180 bpm (96%). The HIIT's were ahhh-mazing!  Hahaha.....Day 3 - today was just shoulder and arms.  I decided to lift heavy today and I feel it.  Which is a a great feeling.  Again, since I'm so use to doing cardio, I wanted to add something to today's workout.  I included the lower ab challenge parts 1 & 2 and took my son and his friends roller skating for their last school skate night.  Boy, I can feel it in my hips.  I'll make sure that I do plenty of stretching tonight so I'm not super sore tomorrow!  Great workout and another day tomorrow.  See you then!

5.16.11 Workout - First Day of TF/P90X hybrid

Today is a new day!  I decided to switch things up a little bit after completing 10 weeks of Turbo Fire.  I love the program, don't get me wrong but I love lifting heavy weights.  So, with that being said, I had been comtemplating doing a TF/P90X hybrid.  I love the energy and cardio in TF and think that the P90X weight portion will be the lifting that I need.  So, today was Day 1 - Chest & Back.  All those pulls up and push ups, I loved it!  Exactly what I was looking for. I felt weird not having cardio on the schedule since I'm use to doing it every day, so I decided to add Cardio X.  Man, I felt GREAT afterwards.  Day 1 is in the bag and I'm looking forward to a mix of abs and cardio tomorrow.  I also completed parts 1 & 2 of the Fit Phatty lower ab challenge. My abs felt awesome and can't wait to see where they land me in the next few weeks.  :)  If you would like to learn more about Fit Phatty or our Phat Camps, comment here or inbox me at phitmom4life@yahoo.com.
