Today is “Stay in Your Pajamas Day” but does not mean I skip my workout.
When we went from Body Beast to Asylum there was only a day in between. Maybe not the best decision I made. Why? Those two workouts are very intense. Yesterday I did Relief and it made me feel so much better.
Today’s workout is Vertical Plyo. “You have to get down to get down.”
Good News: 10 Days in-1 inch off. Can you say these programs work?! In Body Beast, I added inches to my waist and it was not all muscle…which was frustrating. Asylum is obviously taking care of this 🙂 I am able to shred out and see some definition.
Message of Today: Comfort zones are very comfy but if you stay, you are not going to grow! We should all try to grow.
I have to be honest-I skip stretching. I skip it all day long. I don’t know if I skip stretching because my flexibilty sucks. Or does my flexibilty suck because I skip stretching.
What do you think?
Shaun T says doing relief more often is a good thing. It’s difficult for me to do something that I am not good at. Like everything else, the more I do it, the better I get at it. With that…I promise to do more stretching.
Yesterday we did Insanity Asylum Speed and Agility in the Morning. Then at Fit Club we did Insanity Pure Cardio and Insanity Insane Abs. Let’s just say last night we were a sweaty mess!
Needless to say, it’s been harder to get going and get today’s workout done! Thankfully, today is Asylum Strength!
Message of the Day: This week, I have learned that if I need something from someone, it’s my responsibilty to ask that person. It’s ridiculous to expect a person to know you need them without saying something to them. It’s not okay for me to be mad at a person who has not reached out to you. You need to reach out to a person and let them know you need them. Once you do that and they don’t reach out-yes you can be mad.
So if you need something from someone-reach out to them!
Even though it’s been five day, I can feel my abs working. This is awesome because this program is already working. If you show up and put in the work, results will come.
Often times since we work out in the morning and I do it on an empty stomach. Sometimes though I need something to get going. Results & Recovery is something I use right after working out. I use it doing my workout that helps me get through a cardio workout.
Most women don’t want to look like dudes. Let’s talk about this because this belief means many women won’t lift heavy weights because they are fearful of looking like men, looking too manly, or that their main squeeze won’t find them as attractive anymore. I just finished 90-days of lifting heavy–body builder style–and want to talk to you about what my concerns were and how they played out. If, after watching the video, you still have questions hit me up. I’d love to help clarify.
The video is longer than I prefer them to be–but I think you’ll find it interesting and useful–so go ahead and give it a try.
Areas that I struggled with and address in the video: eating enough calories, my relationship with my scale, how having muscle and adding mass effected my daily life, how my body responded to the additional muscle, how I feel about my new physique, what I’m doing next (and why).
Body Beast is meant for anyone who wants to add mass and muscle. It’s meant for people that have a relatively healthy relationship with the scale and with food. It’s meant for people that may have perceived themselves as a body builder in a previous life or have just wondered what in the heck lifting was all about. It’s meant for current and former gym rats (you can easily plug the DVD into a laptop/player and take it to the gym).
Especially considering ALL of the reservations I held going into this program–I found it to be a great program and meant for men, women, athletes, body builders, skinny dudes, buff dudes, women that want to be able to eat more and not freak out about their body burning the calories, women that have kids, women that buy groceries, and women that have dogs.
Don’t believe me? Watch my videos. Then you’ll know the truth.
Hit me up with comments/questions/feedback. You know I love it!
