Holy Guacamole!

Just finished the second DVD in the Insanity the Asylum workout. I have found a new-found respect for the pull-up bar and a pair of 10lb dumbbells. You read that right. Only 10lbs in each hand whooped, my, keester.

In this small section of the warehouse attached to my office is where I'll be doing my workouts during lunch from now on. It's hot, concrete (note to self: buy more exercise grid mats), and just the dungeonesque setting to take my fitness to the next level.

Back to the 10lb dumbbells...There's a few exercises that I could have gone heavier on the weight, but it was only a few and I would be worried my form would slip. Most important with these workouts is making sure you keep that core tight and maintain proper form. 10lbs is all you need.

After trying these workouts last week to learn the moves and try to understand exactly how and when and where to hurl myself into the next gut-busting position I felt better prepared to go as hard as I could (safely) and get in one killer workout.

I may not be training for anything specific with all of these sports focused moves, but each time I do one of these Asylum workouts I feel like I'm getting closer to that athlete I was in the years gone by. Cool thing about it is, I could be close to it by the time this program is up...in 30 days. Think you're ready to try it out? Click here

Insanity the Asylum

Hey everyone,


It's been a while since I've posted anything due to some crazy schedules, however I'm back at it with a new challenge: Insanity the Asylum

Exactly....

This workout takes Insanity to the next level when you never thought it could be any harder. Shaun T adds two very basic tools to the mix: a speed rope and agility ladder. I'm currently in a love/hate relationship with those two items, but I'm learning to appreciate what they are giving me.

This workout is not for those who are just starting out with fitness. This is for those who already have a solid foundation in exercising. For example...if you're only used to walking around the neighborhood, then this isn't for you just yet. On the other hand, if you have completed a few Cross-Fit workouts, then you might be able to at least show up. (I may get a few haters out there on that last one, but I promise you if you come try this workout and do it right, you'll soon understand what it's like to have Shaun T zero-ing on you to reach new heights)

This past week I tried a few of the workouts and I'm left only wanting more. This Monday starts my 1st round of Asylum and I can't wait to experience the shalacking for the next 30 days. Feel free to check in on me over the next month to read up on how I'm doing or just to bust my chops and push me harder.

Thanks for reading this and God bless.
