well, after spending three days drinking and smoking it is time to get back at it.
I think I'll do a 5 mile run and a couple hundred push ups, pull ups and sit ups. That'll get the blood flowing and possibly restore sanity.
only did 3 miles, but did *at least* a few hundred pushups and sit ups and maybe 100 pull ups. I wasn't counting... just pumping 'em out until I almost vomited.
Everything not forbidden is compulsory and eveything not compulsory is forbidden. You are free... free to do what the government says you can do.
I decided to start Insanity today. I've basically been a lazy bum for the past year and a half. I'm not fat by any means - 6'1" 179 lbs. - but I'm definitely out of shape. I drink beer and eat shitty foods quite frequently.
Anyway, I decided to give it a shot and today was day 1 which is the Fit Test. After the fit test I was dying so I know I'm going to get killed over the next 60 days. I just hope I stick with it. Being a lazy bum is a habit I'm trying to break.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

Oooh good luck! Come back and tell us what you think of it. I did it last year and started it up again this January. It's without a doubt the hardest workout I've ever done but I LOVE it. The first time I did it, I got sick a lot in the first week so just remember to go at your own pace, you will get better with time!

I'm going to be doing it each afternoon after school (I'm a teacher). I expect today will be hell since I felt nauseous after the Fit Test yesterday.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

Its a tough workout but short, until you get to the second month - then its more difficult and longer
So I only made it through 20 minutes of plyometrics. Holy shit, I thought I was going to die. My heart felt like it was going to explode. I haven't sweated that much in a LONG time. I guess I need to work my way into this.

Like I said - you have to go at your own pace! When I first started, I was taking a lot of breaks during the workouts. Don't get too overwhelmed by it, it IS doable! Keep at it and you'll notice within 2 weeks that you're already doing so much better! I'm stoked I've got cardio recovery tonight

Been doing this lately--all hour long classes after work:
Monday: cardio kickboxing
Tues: Spin combo--35 min. spin then the rest weights/abs Or Zumba
Wed: Spin class and/or muscle camp
Thurs--off
Fri--spin class
Sat - Piloxing
I've just moved onto Level 2 of 30 Day Shred - not quite as impressive as some of the work here, but it's a start. My legs are in bits again after getting used to level 1
got my new Brooks running shoes last night... can't wait for my 5 mile run tonight!!!
gym today; chest, triceps and abs. (1 hour)
Brooks are a great shoe! I've also had a great pair of Asics in the past.
The WORST shoe I had to train in were these Mizuno training shoes in college. HORRID. And we had to wear them because they were our rep. All the girls on the team bitched about shin and feet problems.
I just got a new pair of New Balance running shoes. They just came out a few weeks ago and I spent a chunk o change on them, but they feel AMAZING. I've been doing 3 miles before weights and then 3 miles after weights plus a 2 mile walk with my dog to cool down after the gym and they are my favorite shoe I've had.
Birthdate: June 20, 1976

Height: 5' 3"

the carpet doesn't match the drapes but I don't wanna be all ripped like her when she's competing... :?
Thread integrity: I still workout with P90x 6 days a week.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
