Insanity Workout Schedule – Day 63 – Fit Test 5

Posted on June 5, 2011 by Russ

And finally, here it is: Insanity Workout Schedule – Day 63 – Fit Test 5. I actually followed through and finished something. And because it was something as mentally hard and physically challenging as the Insanity Workout makes it especially sweet.

My ‘Before and After’ pictures start off the video.  I’m pretty proud of my results and you’ll see why.

As always, I recorded the FULL Fit Test in its entirety from Sean T’s intro, to the warm-up and stretch, the 8 test exercises, the final cool-down, plus a special final wrap up with my two favorite girls!

I’ve got lots to brag about the Fit Test itself, too… but you’re gonna have to watch and see how many personal bests I got today.

In addition, I explain what’s next after Insanity.  So be sure to watch as well as sign up for the reports as I’ll be adding more to this blog from time to time.  You don’t want to miss a thing.

Let me know what you think of these videos, particularly if you found them helpful in making your decision to try Insanity and if they helped motivate you to keep “Digging Deeper”!

Insanity Workout Schedule – Day 62 – Max Cardio Conditioning and Cardio Abs

Posted on June 4, 2011 by Russ

Insanity Workout Schedule – Day 62 – Max Cardio Conditioning and Cardio Abs is a workout that almost didn’t happen.  That’s right, even after all my talk about having a commitment to making these daily video logs to keep me accountable, I was still so tempted to SKIP today’s workout that I almost DID!

Thank goodness for my gorgeous wife (and accountability partner) Maggie for holding my (very tired) feet to the fire.  As you’ll see in the video, it was actually 9:30 PM – as in the EVENING – by the time I actually did this workout.  But hey, I DID it on the day that I was supposed to (instead of editing the upload time and date of this video as I was initially intending to do).

So Day 62 really IS Day 62.  Can you imagine, copping out on the second last day of this incredible journey?  Did I ever tell you I was ‘Follow-through’ challenged?  :)

I love the interactive play between Maggie and I on this video.  I’m really looking forward to doing another series with her as we transition into our next workout routine – (although Maggie looks like she could pass for an aerobics instructor, she really is quite sedentary and this current Insanity Program is way too much for her at this time.)

So there’s only the Fit Test #5 coming up tomorrow to complete this program and it’s on to other things.  Maggie and I will be doing a version of “Ten Minute Workout” routines and then compliment those with just enjoying the outdoors for the summer.

Let me know what you think of today’s video.  And DO sign up for mailing list so you can keep track of our future adventures.

Insanity Workout Schedule – Day 61 – Max Interval Plyo

Posted on June 3, 2011 by Russ

I’ve got a little rant for you on this Insanity Workout Schedule – Day 61 – Max Interval Plyo.  And it’s only because I’ve made it all the way to Day 61 that I can speak out on something like this.

During the course of my Insanity Workout journey, I’ve chatted with several individuals who told me, “Oh, you’re doing Insanity?  I did that last year.  It’s pretty good.”

Maybe it was their ‘matter-of-fact, nothing-to-it’ attitude that tipped me off but I just had to ask them, “Did you do the SAME Insanity Program I’m doing… all 63 days?  The Insanity Program I’m talking about has me drenched in sweat, drop-dead on the floor after each workout.”

What’s the old saying, “Ask and you shall receive”.

The answers I got not only were revealing, I found them to be – well, you’re just gonna HAVE to watch the video for the rest of my little tirade!

So, have YOU done the Insanity Program?  I’m talking about really DOING IT now, full-out for the complete 63-day cycle.

REALLY?

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!  Having done it myself (OK, 2 more days), I KNOW what a HUGE accomplishment that is.  I’d love to hear more about your experience.

If you haven’t done the Insanity Program but are thinking about it:

  1. Make sure this is the right exercise program for you (hint: it’s NOT for everyone – I definitely will NOT be doing it again!)
  2. Get yourself an accountability partner.  (my commitment to make these daily videos have worked wonders at keeping me on track)
  3. DO IT!

And if you haven’t done the full Insanity Program, but you love to tell others that you’ve “done it”, I have something to tell YOU… watch the video!  :)
