Last week, I said that I was going to start Insanity. Well, that didn’t happen. I missed Monday by getting up way to late to do anything and then later that day, found out that perhaps Insanity isn’t the best thing for me to be doing. Instead, I decided on a P90X/Insanity Hybrid that I will be doing for the next 89 days. (I competed Day 1 today.)
Basically, what I wanted out of a scheduled workout program is muscle building/toning and some fast paced cardio. With Tony Horton taking care of the muscle portions, and Shaun T with the cardio, I think I may have found a winner that will hopefully help me lose more weight as I tone my muscles.
Today was Chest and Back and Ab Ripper X with Tony Horton. I really wanted to push myself in this first workout because I’d been a pretty severe slacker the last two weeks. I felt it more though in Ab Ripper X. In the past, I would wimp out if it hurt too much. (And, folks, it does hurt!) Today, I decided to grit my teeth (literally), endure the momentary discomfort, and do what I could. Through the grunting and gritting of teeth, I managed to find a WARM FUZZY!!
The last set of ARX is Mason Twists. It’s almost like you are rowing a boat except your knees are in the air a few inches off of the floor. You do the side to side motion with your hands 50 times and it BURNS! Somehow, even though I was filling my house with grunting, I managed to do a complete round! I had to close my eyes and grit my teeth, but I did it!!
Even if you have slacked off for the last two weeks, like me, I encourage you to get moving again. I felt so much better about myself and I know that hard work really does pay off. I’ve seen it!

P.S. this has no relevance to exercise whatsoever. But, I have recently found something fun that I like to do: Knitting. I saw some knitting needles at a yard sale for $1 and then decided that I should learn how to knit. I watched a few Youtube videos on how to get started and now I am almost done knitting a scarf!!
