Let the Insanity Begin! Week Three Results
Saturday, March 5, 2011
I took time off from the Insanity while I recovered, but I picked it back up last Saturday. It was not easy to get back into the intense pace of Insanity after a week and a half break. To make matters worse, I sprained my left Achilles tendon the day before I resumed exercising and was limping all day, but I stretched that area and pushed through.
The break may have been a blessing in disguise because I notice that I am working harder in my workouts (maybe I was holding back because deep down I knew I was pregnant when we started the program?). I am now engaging with my core and paying attention to form and I feeling the exercises more deeply. I am liking what I see in the mirror. Pardon my hair...it's growing out and I look like a chia pet.
So far my favorite exercises are the jumps, lunges, and squats (as a former runner, I love any move that engages my legs). My least favorite exercises are planks, push-ups (I have a weaker upper body and really suffer through these).
That's my update this week. Come back next week and see more results. There will be no more breaks. I am recommitted to the Insanity!

Wow! I was just watching the little slide show you have on the side of your results and I must say you are looking fabulous! I haven't read any of your other posts, but including doing Intensity did you change your eating and if so how?? I am thinking I need to invest in this. Is it suppose to be a lot like that PX90 or whatever it is called???
I like the leg exercises too, that's where I still have work left, the rest of me is in great shape except for legs and tummy (my children DESTROYED mine).
Keep up the great work!
You go girl. It's great that you are jumping in right back where you left off. Keep it up :)
You are looking really good! Keep it up, you are going to be completely ready for summer. I have been getting my workouts in, but I feel like I need to step it up a notch.
Way to get right back in there stronger than ever!
Why did you stop running? Body (foot/ankle/knee) pain?
Just came across your blog. I love anything fitness and you are looking mighty good.
