Are you INSANITY hardcore?

My lips turned blue today when i was doing my INSANITY . Why you might ask; it happened for a number of reasons:

• I exchange some of the "moves" in the DVD with other personal "favorites". These moves are usually more advanced in comparison.
• I was being HARD CORE  and was in a state of Anaerobic exercise 

So, you think your workout is HARD CORE? Just how hardcore is it! Show me and tell me what you are doing!!!! We are not in a competition with each other, just satisfy my curiosity for once! ;)

Motivation tips

I want to make a confession. My motivation level has been a little Wobbly lately. I know that I could come up with a million reasons why that is, and I am not going to make excuse for myself.

I have been desperately trying to get my focus back on and I am happy to report that my  motivation tank has been fully replenished. I want to share with you what happened to me in the pass 2 week.

1^st event. My bf took a picture of me when we were away on holiday

Here it is.

We are always very critical of ourselves, but hand on my heart, I looked toned in the pictures, and that pictures were “normal picture” taken when I was completely off guard. Also he took some pics for my How to avoid holiday weight gain blog, again, in some of the photos, I looked strong and focus

Second event took place yesterday when I was doing my INSANITY. A fellow gym rat was doing some stretches after his run (he looked like an endurance runner) and he was there for about 5 mins or so. Just as I was down getting ready to do my S hop thing for the warm up he said to me “that could only be INSANITY, you are keeping up quite well” and then he went on to say “how many times have you been through it?” I was too busy to keep myself from having an heart attack and quickly replied “my 1^st round but I have completed P90X before this. Have you done INSANITY” and his reply was “I started a few times”

One final event happened today at my INSANITY: Max Plyo session at lunch time. A personal trainer was working with a middle age lady (who is hopefully on her starting point of fitness journey) and they were there for a good 40 mins at least. The trainer was in the process of explaining core exercise, and I over heard him say “Even I couldn’t do some of the move she is doing” the lady “it looks like hard work” the trainer than said “Yes it is hard work, but she has trained a solid core”

To hear a Personal Trainer admitting that it takes hard work to build a strong body, better lines did it for me.

To have fellow Gym Rats indirectly motivating me by letting me know that what I am doing is not easy.

To know that I am not alone on my jounry in pushing my psersonal limits on a daily bases (please see my fellow fitness crazy blogger YumYucky)

To know that I am much stronger and leaner than what I see in the mirror is a comforting and motivating thought.

What motivates you? Can I help in getting you M Power back on track?!

Stay strong and keep pushing and you will be surprise how far you can go.

INSANITY vs P90X

Hello curious readers! Yes I have been away for a while and thank you for checking in. So just some quick updates from the pass month:

• Yes, my sister was a bridezillas, I managed to keep my cool on her wedding day and now she is happlied married
• Yes, I completed my P90X LEAN, and yes, i have taken some after shots
• Yes I know I know. It's my bad for not posting the photos when i said i would.....
• Yes I promise I will have the photos up by close of the week. PROMISE!!!!

Something new with my fitness world:

• Started INSANITYon Monday

and this brings me to the subject of this blog.

Insanity is a hardcore Cardio work out, it is not easy (and i am saying it on day 2), even the fit test which only consisted of 8sets of 1 min exercises had my heart racing, needless to say that the "warm up of the Day 2 workout had me dripping with sweat, so much so that the floor requires mopping to prevent a fatal accident (such as heart attack, busted lung or simply passing out and apologies for being so graphic about the sweat). BUT why oh why are many people out there compare P90X with INSANITY???!!!??? Why are we comparing Apples with Oranges????

One is to melt the fat off mainly by the means of Cardio workout, the other is to show you how to built more muscle, gain strength and the muscle in turns burn more fat when you are resting.

Love the programs for what they are, love the new challenges it puts on your body. They are both master pieces in their own rights.

The most important of all is YOU. You putting the hard work in and sweating it out! NO ONE can take that credit away from YOU. To me, that is the most important point of all. That is what i choice to focus on.

Stay strong and do what you can to push your limits!
