A few hours ago, I wrapped up day 17 of Insanity. It was a Pure cardio and Cardio ABS night.  It was a good night of cardio. I felt better rested than the night before that is for sure. So when I pressed play and got going into Pure Cardio, things were clicking pretty good.  The best thing, which I’ve mentioned previously is that in Pure cardio, once you get through the warm-up and stretch, is that the rest of the exercises are never repeated. 

The big thing that I’ve started to notice while going through the Insanity routines is that I can feel my abs working more and more. I can feel them as they are tightening and I’m using my core during the exercises.  One example is the Mountain climbers.  I can now really tell that I am using my core more to pull myself up.  I kind of was in this state of ‘ah-ha’ moment today.  I was amazed that I was really gaining that much strength in my abs/core in just over 2 weeks.  I hadn’t ever felt that before. So I was pretty stoked.  Just showed me that things are working and falling into place nicely. Pure cardio really does get you to dig deep and find that spot that forces you to give it your all. 

Cardio ABS, only having now done it twice, I can say is growing on me.  I am feeling the effects already of doing it and I know it is paying off.  I enjoy that these are such different moves than anything I have done before.   I was able tonight to complete a few of the exercises that I wasn’t the first time. So, the strength is coming. It’s breaking through.  I think a lot of people will love cardio ABS

There is still lots of work to be done.  I have goals that I want to come out of Insanity accomplishing and I will have to work very hard both physically  and nutrition wise to achieve.  But the most wonderful part about it all?  Can you guess it? Is that it can be done. I can do it, I just have to dig in (cliché, i know) but it’s all there for the taking.  I’ve removed the obstacles  that have kept me from being healthy.  Obstacles that were not allowing me to play with the kids for long periods of time. Obstacles that kept telling me that I was too tired to workout that night.

NOT anymore.  I don’t allow things to get in the way of me reaching for the stars to be healthy, feel healthy and live healthy.  I love it.  You can to. It’s really easy. And I do mean that.    One, sign up at the BeachBody community.  Two, get a program.  Doesn’t matter whether it is P90x, Insanity,  ChalEAN extreme, or any of the others.   The key is that you are willing to make a commitment to your future. Then you know what, contact me.  Contact me with questions, help, motivational needs, you name it.  I love this stuff! I learn something new everyday.  Let me see if it can help you to.

Peace and KP is out!
