Fit Test #3, Recovery and Expectations (INSANITY Day 36)

This is how I felt directly following Day 36: Fit Test & Max Interval Circuit I’ll tell you what, ladies and gents, this program is FLYING by! Last night I rocked out Fit Test #3 and then immediately went into my very first encounter with Max Interval Circuit (cue dramatic scary music and thunderstorm outside). Ya, it was rough. I’m not gonna lie. It was really rough. The Fit Test was actually real [Continue...]

ARX/ARX2 Hybrid version 1.0

As many of you know, I’m a sucker for a killer ab/core routine. I like finding them and I like making them. Last night, after I wrapped up with Back & Bicep at the gym here at Hallmark, I got down on my mat for some Ab Ripper X, but ended up tweaking it slightly as I went.

Workout During Recovery? Good idea or bad idea? I say, “Fantastic idea.”

All I know is this guy kept pushing play. You should too. This morning I had the pleasure of doing Day 65 of P90X, but I was pretty scared to do so. This weekend, I had some fun family business to take care of, and as such my workouts got all jumbled up. For starters, my weekly schedule was such that I had to switch up Plyometrics (Day 58) and Kenpo X (Day 62) so I wouldn’t be jumping all over my apartment at [Continue...]
