Insanity Workout Review - The Pain Is Over
My Insanity before and after transformation day 29 is complete. Today was recovery week. I have one thing to say to that. WHERE THE F WAS THE RECOVERY? Yes it was lighter than most of the other workouts but today was INSANE. I felt like I was heading to kindergarten and ended up in boot camp. Shaun T lied to me. He told me I was going to recover and instead I suffered.   
If you have been following along up until now things have been great. The workouts are INSANE and the results are SWEET. However... The reason this workout is called Insanity is because they play with your mind. Head games all the way to get ripped. I wouldn't be surprised if Shaun T was actually hiding in my house while I was working out. 

Anyway, 5 more days of the same recovery that I had today. Recovery smicovery. Hopefully I will feel like I recovered a bit more during the end of the week. If not I am going to have to suffer the second round of this insane workout more sore than I am now. The only thing that makes it worth it is the 18 year old 6 pack that is dying to come out. :)

I was asked recently if this workout is worth it. 

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

Until tomorrow,

Jai

Insanity Workout Review - The Pain Is Over
My Insanity before and after transformation day 28 was a breeze because today is my 4 day off since starting. I find I always feel and look better right after a workout. Plus I had guacamole and tortillas late last night. :) Hey at least I am honest. 

But putting honesty aside I lost 3lbs.

Current Weight 173.6
Previous Weight 176.4

Question... Do late night totillas make you lose 3lbs? :)

Tomorrow starts the recovery week. YEAH!!!

Until Tomorrow,

Jai

My Insanity Before And After transformation day 27 is complete. Today is the last day of Insanity disc 1. That means that next week is all about stretching and recovering. I think that is smart because my body is saying to me "hey Jai when are we going to take a vacation." Although I won't be going on vacation anytime soon. I will be recovering my body for the next 7 days and prepare for the REAL INSANITY. 

Today was Cardio Plyometric Circuit training. Phew... Done.

Enjoy your Saturday. 
BTW how do the results look in the first half of the workout? 

Until tomorrow where I post my weight and an off day photo

Insanity Workout Review - The Pain Is Over
My Insanity Before And After transformation day 26 is complete. This is NUTZ. I haven't looked this good since... since... well since I took this photo a couple of hours ago. Even when I had a 6 pack I don't ever remember having a body this nice. I am not bragging. Yes I am. No I am not. I just can't believe how this Insanity is working. Why did I let the ghostly looking guy with a bandaid on his head stay around so long? :) 
Now I did do P90X years ago in case you were wondering. AND... I had pretty good results. BUT... my diet SUCKED. Today I can honestly say that eating cardboard flavored Jenny Craig meals daily with this Insanity is making me wish I took it more seriously way back when.

Pure Cardio and abs was on the schedule for today. Yep... It still is kicking my ass. I guess that is why they call it Insanity. Because you have to be insane to think you will do the whole workout without stopping for a few seconds here there and everywhere. :)

So, today was day 26 and I am almost at the half way point. Next week is cardio recovery for the FULL week. That's like a vacation compared. Then apparently this workout gets more insane. If that is true then I should expect to see a Brad Pitt 6 pack in a month from now.

What do you think?

Until tomorrow,

Brad to be Jai

Insanity Workout Review - The Pain Is Over
My Insanity Before And After transformation day 25 is complete. Today was light but what good is having a light workout if you are working your ass off working? Say that ten times real fast. So Insanity had me doing a cardio recovery workout and I am happy that it did because I got a day to rest these tired muscles. I tell you one thing... I better get my act together and stop complaining because tomorrow is pure cardio and abs.  
In case you were wondering today was easier. Not easy. Just easier. However before I rap it up I wanted to share with you 3 questions I have gotten over the last month that I think are pretty funny and relevant to this blog.  

1. Why are you wearing a bandaid on Day 0

I cut myself shaving for the daily photos? That's as far as I will go with that one. 

2. Did you get a tan?

No. I adjusted the white balance on my camera. It adds drama.

3. Did you photoshop your body into shape?

Hahahaha. Why didn't I think about that before I decided to go through this painful shit. 

Until tomorrow.

Insanity Workout Review - The Pain Is Over
My Insanity Before And After transformation day 24 is complete. I got my ass kicked today by Shaun T. I felt so good when the DVD was loading that I pushed myself to the max in the warmup. Then when the actual workout began I started praying for a nap. I pushed through til the end but I felt like I cheated more than a teenager in an open book test. Luckily I think I redeemed myself by walking a few miles around town. 
Today was plyometric cardio circuit and the only thing I liked about finishing today's workout is that tomorrow's workout is closer. Yep that is right. Cardio recovery is up tomorrow. 

I need recovery. I need a hug. I need a bath. I need a nap. I need to find the next Apple stock and get in at the penny level. 

Anyway, what do you think of the results? I am happy with the visual but not to pleased about the pain. Don't get me wrong I don't normally feel this way but tomorrow will be a much needed recovery. Maybe I just feel off. 

Until Tomorrow,

Jai

Insanity Workout Review - The Pain Is Over
My Insanity Before And After transformation day 23 is complete. My muscles are starting to feel strong again. I ran for a few blocks after dropping off my 2 kids to daycare and didn't feel out of breath. Don't you get it? For 3 years I felt out of breath just watching my kids sleep. The only thing I hate is I didn't do Insanity earlier. Oh well I guess there is no crying over tired flabby daddies with 2 kids and 1 wife. 
Speaking of wife... I think I inspired my wife to workout regularly. Just last week she started training with a childhood friend of hers that is truly amazing at his craft. He warned me about taking care of myself during the Insanity workout and said the results are in the photos.

Trust me I will be the first to sit down if I feel I might hurt myself. 13 years of dancing taught me that much...

Anyway, I am glad she is feeling inspired. I am also happy to be inspiring others that I won't see every morning and night. It's cool and inspires me back.

Today was cardio power and resistance. I dug deep today. So much so that I did these traveling push ups until I traveled from the kitchen to the bedroom back to the bathroom and in the hallway. I was a beast today but between you and me I am feeling it right now. I just hope my son and daughter don't want me to pick them up and play with them tonight because if they do I might have play the game hide and seek to the point where I can't be found. :)

How are the results coming? 

Until Tomorrow,

Jai

Insanity Workout Review - The Pain Is Over
My Insanity Before And After transformation day 22 is complete. I felt all flabby yesterday after having a day off because it was raining all day. We took the kids out in the morning and then didn't take the kids outside the rest of the day so there wasn't as much calorie burning as there would have been had I been doing Insanity with the kids. However, after working out like a pure cardio and ab mad man I no longer feel so flabby. 
Sirena if you are reading this congratulations on finding this blog and using as inspiration. I think you said you were on day 7. Take a look at where I was on day 7 only 15 days ago. Also, Maurice from Social Hype if you are reading this thanks for checking in. I hope you too are getting the inspiration you need to get back into shape. :)

Like I said above today was PURE CARDIO AND ABS and I have to be honest. I didn't know which workout I was doing today until I looked on the calendar. Once I read what was on the schedule for Insanity I said to myself OH SH*T!  Today is hard. 22 days later and today is just EFFING hard. There is a point in the video where Shaun T says to the camera I need to take a break. That's how tough it is...  

How does the Insanity before and after transformation look after 22 days? 

Let me know your thoughts and if you need some inspiration because I get inspired by inspiring. 

Until tomorrow,

Jai

My Insanity before and after transformation day 21 was a breeze because today is my 3 day off in 2 weeks. 

I gained 1 more pound this week. 

Current Weight 176.4

Previous Weight 175.4

Question... Did I gain 1lb of muscle or fat? I see a difference but not on the scale. 

Until Tomorrow,

Jai

Insanity Workout Review - The Pain Is Over
My Insanity Before And After transformation day 20 is complete. 20 days baby!!! The number two zero never looked better. I am so curious to see what I will look like in 60 days. My only issue is what the hell am I going to do after that? I mean I know I want to do p90x2 next because I LOVED P90X but then what. I say that because Insanity gives me a goal to strive for and you reader gives me the accountability. 
Today was plyometric cardio circuit. 20 days into this workout and it got me at 12 minutes and 16 seconds remaining. I was shaking. I was floundering. I was finished. How the hell am I supposed to break through that feeling? I know it's mind over matter but I have blonde hair that is really close to my brain which means that it matters more than I mind. :)

Anyway, if you live in NYC have a great weekend before it starts to pour and wash the rest of the today and tomorrow into Monday. 

Tomorrow is an off day according to the Insanity workout but I will post a photo like always.

Until Tomorrow,

Jai
