Back to Da Core-Day 8

This is the list I gave J today when he goes to the grocery store. I felt like I may need the vodka eggs for the protein so my muscles can repair after today's workout.

Day 8. Asylum. Back to Core (Title of workout). The first time I did this workout-I was still learning, and therefore not putting in my all. This time around-I felt good-I gave it EVERYTHING I had, and I was dripping sweat EVERYWHERE. Alana (my 9 year old) walked in at one point and just says "EW" and walks out. I thought I was going to be all "sprite" and throw in some "Overtime" today (apparently it's only 15 minutes for days you feel like you can put in more work-but it's pure hell. Was. Not. Needed.). One thing I do want to add is that I feel like my posture has already improved from this workout because of all the work that is done in your upper back area. Then the lower back work and the hamstrings-OMG-I finally "embraced" the burn and went for it until I couldn't go no more. When I was done-I felt great about what I had put in to this. I could not do another workout today, even if I wanted to. I feel like if you REALLY do put in all your efforts-mentally AND physically, there is NO WAY you could do another workout in the same day you do an Asylum workout.

Well I have a 2 year old breathing down my neck-so I must cut this short. Remember, it's Easter weekend-celebrate an EMPTY TOMB my friends-not a bunny!

Day 3 of INSANITY: THE ASYLUM; "Back to Core"

There are no words. Buuuut this guy pretty much sums it up.


First let me start with a quote from the workout, that Shaun says. "The work doesn't start until you are in PAIN." WTH?!

OK. So this workout was REALLY DIFFERENT. I was definitely sweating in the warm up and during some parts of the workout-but it wasn't your typical Shaun T sweatfest. It was a firefest of burning in places you never knew existed in your body. There are alot of pulses (Ohhh the pulses I hate you), static holds, balance crap (which I'm aweful at), and just things that don't really feel good at all. And I may have had to go to the bathroom immediately postworkout to takecareofbusinessifyouknowwhatImean. Who knows why?? Anway-so you see the title-and it has the word "Core" in it. Cool. I'm expecting some abdominal stuff but NO CRUNCHES BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW SHAUN AIN'T DOWN WITH THAT SHIZ. NO. NO. NO. It wasn't anything that I was expecting. We pretty much worked the back of our core. Wierd, right? I didn't even know you could do that. There was alot of butt work, and hamstring moves that mademewannadie. Yeah, you had to keep your core tight to even do the moves properly, but in no way was the "superficial" layer of our abs worked in a typical way. The reverse delts got a heck of a workout as well, which I loved because I always find that hard for me to do. OH and this is where you incoporate the green band. I don't even wanna think about it. I hated that thing. In a good way. What ever that means.

So. Each time I put an "X" over a day of the Asylum calander/schedule-I feel like I just delivered a baby or something. Like I accomplished a huge hurdle. But then I look at tomorrow's agenda. VERTICLE PLYO. Like, I thought all plyo was verticle? I also heard that it makes grown men cry for their mommies. Great. I'm sure it'll be tons o' fun. Barf.

I have lived another day. -Demi
