Yesterday I got things started. Good old chest and back. Chest and back features a bunch of push up and pull up variations done in 3 sets of 4 exercises. Once you finish the first round, you do all the exercises over again, except you replace the first move with the second move, and the third move with the fourth move.
Set 1:
* Standard Push Ups 20(5) 15
* Wide Front Pull Ups 2(8) (8)
* Military Push Ups 15 10
* Reverse Grip Chin Ups 2(8) (8)
Set 2:
* Wide Fly Push Ups 15(5) 12
* Closed Grip Overhand Pull Ups (10) (8)
* Decline Push Ups 10 10
* Heavy Pants 10 w/ 20lbs
Set 3:
* Diamond Push Ups 10 10
* Lawnmower 10 w/ 20lbs
* Dive Bomber Push Ups 8 8
* Back Flys 8 10 at 20 lbs
I decided to try something new and get this workout started first thing in the morning before breakfast. I think I don't have that concept quite right yet because I woke up sometime around 9 and didn't get started until 10:30. So, I was pretty hungry. One thing I learned from doing the first round is to make sure to eat so you have enough energy to finish the workouts. So before I got started, I was on the fence about doing the workout or eating first. Since I had something to do later, I decided to just suck it up. Plus I wanted to see what working out first thing in the morning felt like. Normally I do my workouts after work, but I thought for this round I should try doing the Insanity workouts first thing in the morning.
So anyway, I finally got things going. Had my water ready, turned the AC on and popped in the video. My round 1 and 2 numbers are above. The numbers in parentheses means that I either did pushups with my knees or pullups with a chair. Can't really remember my numbers from my first round but I'm pretty sure they were higher and I wasn't as exhausted, but we'll see as the weeks go by. Afterwards, I did ab ripper X. I'll save my thoughts on that workout for another time.
Stay powerful (and amazing).
