Pictures: Before and After-Day 1 to Day 60

Well, here are the results from day 1 to day 60 doing Insanity. Again, nothing earth shattering here, but I think it's not bad for just 60 days. Please excuse my poor photo editing skills. What you see is what you get. Hopefully you can tell which one is the before and which is the after photo, but just incase, before is on the left and after on the right.

I've still got some work to do, so maybe I will post some updated pictures in another 60 days. Stay tuned, next week I restart Insanity. Thanks for enduring the past two months with me. Ty

60 days of insanity-Complete!

I can't believe it's over. It went way faster than I expected. I met my goal of working out every single day of scheduled workouts. (6 days per week, off Sundays) I'm working on the before and after pictures, but I have updated my measurements in the chart above.

Overall thoughts? This is a tough workout. There is a lot of jumping and it can be really hard on your knees. There were times when I had to take it easy on the jumping because my knees were sore and I didn't want to risk injury and have to stop the workout. Results? I am very happy with the results. I need some more time to get my body into the shape I would like it to be, but for just two months, I think the results are fantastic!

Also, I stuck to my diet 99% of the time. I didn't eat junk food, soda, candy, chips, desserts, etc. at all. I had a couple of times where my portion control wasn't very good, but that was definitely the exception, not the rule.

I feel like even though I only lost 13 lbs, I gained a lot of muscle that wasn't there before. My body feels much stronger than before and even running was improved. My energy level has increased, even though I am often exhausted at the end of the day, I think that is from the intense workouts that I did during the day.

On a scale of 1-10, I would definitely give this workout a 10 for results, and a 10 for level of difficulty. Was it worth it? Absolutely.

What now? I am taking this week off, but will begin insanity again next Monday. I'm excited to see how the next 60 days will go, having been through it once already.

Pictures coming soon. Peace Out!

Week 9, Day 5

Well, tomorrow is the final fit test. It has been a challenge to complete the entire series without missing a single day. I'll have a final update in the next day or two with final measurements and thoughts.

Week 8, day 5

Just a quick update. Things are moving along, tomorrow is the last day of week 8 and next week is the last week! Almost done. I have done it every single day so far and am looking forward to completing the program.

Week 8, day 2

Just finished today's workout. Yep, it's almost 11:00 pm. Way past my bedtime, but that's what happens when life is busy. G'nite.

Week 7 Complete

7 weeks down, 2 weeks to go to complete the official workout. I plan to start over once finished. It's been a great workout and I have seen a ton of progress in just 7 short weeks. Strength, endurance, balance, etc. I thought it would be effective, but I also know that the before and after people they show on the infomercial are not typical results. That being said, I am very impressed with the results of this program. A couple of friends have bought it recently and I am very curious to see what they think of the program. Good luck!

Week 7, Day 3

Today was Max Interval Plyo. For some reason I just didn't have the energy or motivation. Maybe it was a late night last night going to the Blazers Season opener. Maybe it was excitement about the Giants/Rangers World Series game tonight. I don't know, but I wasn't feeling it. I did about 35 minutes of the 55 minute workout before moving on to the cool down stretches. Maybe it was just all of the jumping around, I don't know. Glad it's over.
