I am done that that evil workout for this rotation! I can really see the upper body definition that I have gotten from these workouts. I wish I had taken before pictures so I can compare. Nothing like looking at side by side pictures. DH agrees that he can see that I am a lot more muscular than I was before. I don't feel that I have perfected these workouts, though. They are still very much of a challenge, and I have to take breaks. But I am starting to get tired of them. I will use weights during my next rotation. Obviously, this will be different than the body weight exercises. I wonder if I will continue to see muscular development. I guess it depends on if I am challenged with the weights. Like I mentioned before, I don't have a lot of knowledge about muscles/weight lifting. I could see a difference in my upper body when I did #10 SDX previously. It seemed like I leaned out and got definition. I am hoping to improve the looks of my loose skin (bat wings). I know the only way to correct this is surgery, but I am not going to do that. I will keep working on it and doing what I can do.
Diana - You're doing so great and I'm so happy for you that you're seeing results! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree about the photos...I look at mine and it's AMAZING.
Diana- I think I'll try a strength class at the y next week. I prefer weights. I can do cardio on my own but maybe a group setting will motivate me with strength.
Teacher - good idea with the group class. Perhaps that will help...Turbo Fire Upper 20 is really good. Short, tough and effective! I can't do long weight workouts (BORING) so I'm hesitant to buy Chalean Extreme...
Last night - Fire 60 ....whew and that was AWESOME!
Tonight - Hiit 30 and Lower 20. Not a big fan of lower 20 because I feel like TF and running are SO lower body focused already but I'll do it! Noticing huge changes in my legs this rotation. I wonder if the running is making the difference because it's something new.
Insane doesn't even come close to describing what I did today! I did the balance of the Insanity workouts today. I wanted to focus on the Fit test and some regular (not insane ) cardio for tomorrow.
Check-In:
Insanity Cardio Abs
Insanity Maximum Cardio Conditioning
Insanity Core Cardio and Balance
Teacher Does your gym have Body Pump classes? A lot of people like those.
Laura I plan on doing Fire 60 soon! I miss my longer cardio workouts.
Quick post. I am glad that I completed Insanity yesterday and only had to do my fit test today. I got busy and didn't have time for anything else.
Anyways, here are my fit test results. I didn't get an official workout in, but I can say that I worked up a sweat. The fit test is a little less than 30 minutes. I will post total reps of the fit test rather than a break down of each exercise.
1st fit test reps: 437
2nd fit test reps: 433
3rd fit test reps: 473
4th fit test reps: 491
5th fit test reps: 552
Diana- they have body blitz- all strength, muscle pump- all strength, and body design- strength and cardio... so a few choices
today- TF Fire 30
Teacher Muscle pump sounds like it would be like Body Pump, but obviously it isn't. Body pump is cardio/weights. If I were you, I would try Body Design first. There might be more of a fun factor since there's cardio and you like that. If that doesn't work out, I would look at Muscle Pump. Maybe it's weights, but used in a cardio way like Body Pump. Let us know what you try and your thoughts.
Diana - nice improvements!! HUGE!!!!!! YAY! BTW - Les Mills Combat does look awesome. I think I'm going to pre-order it for another set of Workouts. Not sure about Chalene Extreme...just don't like long weight workouts. MUCH prefer cardio with weighted gloves They really have tones my arms
Keep up the good work teacher.
Happy to report I'm back on track with eating...was going "off" too much and also just overeating healthy foods. Scale went up to 158 last week. Back down to 151 today.
