Insanity Workout

So earlier this week without further delay or excuse I decided to start the "Insanity" workout by Shaun T. I found out in short time how limited my cardio had become. So to say that this should improve that over time would be an understatement. But I really have enjoyed it! It definately takes alot out of you. And the average workout is about 30 minutes that I've seen. But your constantly moving with the exception of 30 second breaks added in to help you recoup. And you clothing is sure to look and feel like you just took a swim in a lake fully dressed.:)

So the experience has been great so far. I haven't had any serious soreness the day after since I began. And I will say after each workout I have stood there with a feeling of accomplishment that I made it thru.

Looking forward to what the following weeks bring with it. I may also incorporate some P90X or One on Ones from time to time, if I have the energy to do so ;)

Water,water and more water!

So I've been working on helping my mother bail herself out of some crazy flooding in her cellar, she's had since we had that heavy rain a few weeks ago. Well I've been fortunate in the fact that her local fire department was nice enough to supply a pump to help her control the water. Yesterday reached that point where the favor ran thin. So I needed to figure out a way to at least try and control the issue until the water level in the neihborhood went down naturally. See my mother lives in a valley area across from a lake. So she is the lowest point where all the overflowing seems to gather. A losing battle it seems most of the time. But after spending a couple hours in a local Home Depots, and Lowes last night. I think I at least have it so the water can be pumped out and managed till it drys up on its own and doesnt return. What a fun experience! I think our first house will be on stilts!! Hahaha!
On a side note here. I'll tell you those sale people at the home improvement stores can be quite helpful at times. Before I knew it at one I had a carriage full of everything I needed to pump out the Titanic!! Haha! Must of been that lost puppy look I had on my face. It screamed "Here's a sale!!" Needless to say the carriage never left the store. Haha. Good help and effort there though I appreciated that.

I'm now a Blogger!! Ahahahaha!

Hi everyone!

Well I'm going to keep my first entry in my new blog here brief. I think this will be a great way to share the experiences I have with my fitness goals, my personal development, and striving daily to find the right path. For almost 2 years now I have been on a journey to better health and physical conditioning. I have used home workouts and my own weight equipment to reach the goals I have so far. And although I have managed to lose over 70 lbs since I began. I am always looking to make improvement. Because lets face it, Noone is getting any younger. and if you stop your not getting anywhere. I've also enjoyed being a Beachbody coach which simply means I help people that are using their homw workouts like P90x,Turbo Jam, Insanity, etc. And in turn the company allows me to build my own business out of it. It's no free ride by any means, but what really is these days? And I love helping people and seeing them reach their goals as well. And I love the workouts and use them all the time myself anyways. So sharing that experience with others comes easy. And the people I have meet along the way are wonderful! So that's all I have for now. till nexttime.
